Who should not use the Inspector
Modern developments that are used to create drops have made them as safe and accessible as possible for all breeds of cats. Despite this, the manufacturer identifies some categories of animals for which the use of insecticide is unacceptable.
Inspector Total K for cats instructions prohibit application to:
- cats under 7 weeks old;
- lactating females;
- pregnant women;
- weakened after illness;
- suffering from an infectious disease;
- animals with individual intolerance to the components of the product.
Composition of the drug
Drops Inspector
There are two active ingredients (components) in the drops: moxidectin and fipronil. These are low-toxic substances that do not harm animals.
Fipronil is a phenyl compound. It impairs the absorption of chlorine by organisms, damaging the nerve impulse transmission system, blocking the parasite's body systems. This condition quickly leads to death. Moxidectin affects the functioning of nerve cells. As a result, the activity of the insect's muscles is disrupted, paralysis and rapid death occur. The drops contain 2.5% moxidectin and 10% fipronil - this amount is sufficient to destroy a significant number of pests.
Efficiency and effect of the drug
Drops for the treatment of fleas and worms "Inspector" during tests showed effectiveness against more than a dozen different parasites, including lice, lice, and round intestinal worms. The combination of fipronil and moxidectin disrupts the normal metabolism of “guests” and blocks the exchange of signals in their nervous system. Subsequently, muscle paralysis develops, leading to failure of breathing, feeding of parasites, and then death of individuals.
The effect of the drug extends not only to adult parasites, but also to juveniles, which in the future will emerge from larvae and eggs. This eliminates the danger of re-development of the disease after the destruction of sexually mature bloodsuckers and intestinal flukes.
Contraindications
Like most medications, it is permissible to use Inspector drops with certain reservations. So, contraindications to the use of the drug are:
- age up to 7 weeks;

Owner reviews
Ksenia-M: “We recently bought these drops for the first time. We chose them because of the price: they are relatively inexpensive. I can’t speak about the effect - it turned out that our dog was itching not because of parasites. But the drug has almost no smell, the animal tolerated it well, there were no side effects. True, it’s inconvenient to apply: a lot of solution flows out of the pipette at once.”
Daria Savina: “I used these drops for all 7 years of my dog’s life. But I was disappointed with the last treatment. The veterinarian strongly advised us to additionally use antiparasitic collars and give the animal a deworming pill. I waved it off. And she paid the price: first she removed ticks after a walk, and then also removed fleas after overexposure. In general, I will look for another remedy.”
YuliaYa1977: “I like it because of its complex action: in one fell swoop it gets rid of worms, fleas and ticks. True, I don’t believe in 100% effectiveness - I still check the dog for insects after walks. But it works well. What’s confusing is that you can’t wash and cuddle your pet for several days; you even have to plan your walks so as not to get caught in the rain.”
Application procedure
Inspector drops for dogs, instructions for which are included in the package, should be applied according to the recommendations of a specialist.
- The drug is applied to dry, healthy skin. Most often it is dripped onto the withers, where the dog cannot lick the product. To ensure that the Inspector gets onto the skin without remaining on the fur, the hairs are pulled apart and the drops are applied directly to the skin.
- To treat small breed dogs, just drop a drop in one place on the withers. For large dogs, the dose should be distributed over 4-5 points.
After treatment, you should not wash your pet for at least a week. If the animal lives in an apartment, it must be treated.

Reviews of the drug from dog breeders
Evgenia, Surgut. Every summer we go with the whole family to the dacha. Our Linda, although she is a titled beauty and a participant in many exhibitions, also loves this period. After all, it is at the dacha that she can run freely around the area near the house. The only downside is that she inevitably meets yard dogs, who happily share their “property” with her - fleas. The nearest store had only one flea drug - Inspector. You had to take it at your own risk without consulting a doctor. The product turned out to be excellent. The fleas were removed and we were able to sleep peacefully until the end of summer, knowing that our Lindochka was under reliable protection.
Tamara, Birobidzhan. Ice is a fairly active pet who lives in our apartment. He is one of the large dog breeds that needs constant movement - the Hungarian Kuvasz. Therefore, three times a day we take him to an enclosure specially designated for walking, where he meets other brothers. Naturally, from time to time we bring home fleas, and sometimes ticks. Inspector was not the first drug that we tried in the fight against parasites. But it was he who took pride of place in Ice’s first aid kit. The treatment is easy, the drug is reasonably priced, and the effectiveness is high. We now recommend this product to all our friends and neighbors.
Dog owners speak positively about the drug Inspector.
Mikhail, Barnaul. Since we live in Siberia, we have a pressing problem with seasonal insects such as mosquitoes and midges. We are not protected from traditional parasites - fleas and ticks. In view of this, we needed a drug that would become a universal defense for Bach. It was scary to conduct tests on our own pet, so we turned to a specialist with this problem, who advised us to use the Inspector. Surprisingly, this product exceeded our expectations. Firstly, it was extremely easy to use, and secondly, it is truly effective against most known parasites found in dogs.
