Bars collar for cats and dogs – reviews and instructions for use

Composition and mechanism of action

The Bars flea collar is a ribbon made of polymer material 35, 50 or 80 cm long. The dimensions of the protective accessory determine its cost, which varies in the range of 100-160 rubles.
The product contains an active ingredient – ​​fipronil. It inhibits the functioning of the nervous system of parasites, resulting in paralysis and death of the insect. Fipronil is characterized by a specific odor, so all Bars collars have this odor. In addition to fipronil, the composition contains an arthropod growth regulator. It suppresses the processes of molting and pupation, and prevents chitin formation. The tandem of two active components destroys all mature individuals, insect larvae and provides a protective barrier for 4-5 months.

Collar Leopard

The inside of the Bars collar is coated with a chemical composition. Upon contact with the skin of an animal, the release of active substances begins, which negatively affect parasites and are safe for a cat or dog. Chemical components do not penetrate into the circulatory system and are concentrated in the sebaceous glands, so the chances of intoxication of the pet are negligible.

Composition, action

The active components of the collar are several substances with different mechanisms of action. Modern, low-toxic fipronil disrupts the functioning of the nervous system, causing paralysis and death. Diflubenzuron is a regulator of insect numbers. Affects the ability to lay eggs. Stops the process of parasite reproduction.

The active components enter the body of fleas through contact, partly through food. They act on adults and larvae.

On a note!

The product prevents helminthic infestation. Remains effective against fleas for about 4 months. It is recommended to remove it during swimming.

Leopard for cats - reviews

Review of Bars drops for cats, writes Katerina. I learned about how terrible the consequences of tick infestation can be a few days ago. There is a Persian cat living in my house, all so good and fluffy, as it should be. When I returned from work, I found scraps of fur all over the apartment. I thought that my cat was just playing around, she was even going to scream, but then I saw a scratched wound on her chin.

I took my pet to the veterinarian, where they found the culprit of the problem and prescribed Leopard Spot-on anti-tick drops. I will say right away that the product is effective because within 20 minutes after application to the affected area the tick fell off. Now I will be more attentive to my cat - I don’t want any more parasites to attack her.

Ear mites are an annoying and extremely unpleasant disease that is also common in animals. Its characteristic signs are ears heavily contaminated with mite excrement, pain when touched (the pet tries to avoid the touch, bends its ear), and scratched wounds in the ear area.

Special ear drops Bars are used for treatment. Before using them, you should definitely consult a veterinarian, strictly follow his instructions, as well as the rules for using the drug specified in the instructions.

Before using the product, the ears should be carefully cleaned of scabs with ear sticks soaked in hydrogen peroxide or glycerin. The number of drops depends on the size of the animal. Even if only one ear is damaged by a tick, drops should be applied to both, since the parasite can easily move to an undamaged and untreated area.

Reviews about this product vary; although the majority of comments are positive, there are often negative reviews. This is due to the fact that this remedy for ear mites can cause minor side effects if you are hypersensitive to the main active ingredient. In this case, it is recommended to choose another drug.

Ear mites are a rather dangerous disease, neglect of treatment of which can lead to death for the animal.

special instructions

The active components of Bars do not enter the systemic circulation, minimizing the risk of side effects. However, in the first days of use, local irritation of the skin may occur in areas of contact with the collar.

If there is an individual intolerance to the components, a deterioration in well-being occurs:

• trembling throughout the body;
• loss of appetite;
• irritability;
• apathy;
• drowsiness or insomnia;
• increased salivation;
• lacrimation;
• vomit.

In such situations, you need to immediately remove the collar. Use Bars drops or other flea remedies.

There are some restrictions when using the collar:

• puppies, kittens up to 2 months;
• lactating females;
• late pregnancy;
• sick, weak, recovering animals.

In other cases, Bars is an excellent protection for cats, dogs from fleas and all blood-sucking insects.

Release form of drugs Bars

To eliminate fleas and ticks, you can use one of the products presented in the line. For the convenience of cat owners, the manufacturer produces medication in the form of shampoo , spray , drops and collar .

All products contain Fipronil, which has a negative effect on the body of parasites, poisoning them and causing paralysis. Since the nerve endings can no longer receive the signal, not only motor function is blocked, but also life-supporting function.

Important!!! According to consumers, of all products, Bars drops deserve the most attention. They are the most effective and at the same time easy to use.

Instructions for use

After an examination by a veterinarian, who confirms that the pet is not intolerant to the substances included in the impregnation of the tape, you can begin to use it.

First, choose the right size. Bars produces three options:

• Length 35 cm suitable for small breeds.
• Polymer tape 50 cm long is intended for medium breeds.
• Length 80 cm is suitable for large breed dogs.

If the dog is already infected with a parasite, first bathe it with a special shampoo and comb it out . After this procedure, you can move on to the collar:

• Put on and fasten the strap so that there is a space of 1-1.5 cm between the neck and the tape.
• Secure the tip and cut off the excess.
• Straighten the fur so that the tape touches the skin, otherwise the drug impregnating the insectoacaricidal collar will not be able to spread throughout the body and effectively protect against parasites.

Remember that the effect of the accessory has a cumulative effect. It will take time for the protection to become maximum; do not go for a walk in dangerous terrain immediately after putting it on, but wait a few days.

Don't forget about the validity period of the strap - 4 months . Hurry up to replace it with a new one in time so that the degree of security does not decrease.

Short description:

This collar is an insectoacaricidal veterinary product designed to combat fleas, lice, lice, and ticks in some types of domestic animals. The active ingredients are two substances - an insect growth regulator and fipronil. They are active not only against sexually mature individuals, but also against larval forms. The growth regulator has a detrimental effect on the development of larvae. And fipronil, coming from the collar onto the animal’s fur, accumulates in the skin glands and hair follicles and provides a fairly powerful insectoacaricidal effect. Insects die due to paralysis caused by this substance. Both active components are included in the material from which the collar is made.

For whom:

The collar is designed for cats and dogs of any breed, any size.

Leave form:

The Bars collar is a fairly soft and elastic, but quite durable tape made of polyvinyl chloride with active ingredients included in it.

Collars of three types are available for dogs (80 cm for large breed dogs, 50 cm for medium breed dogs, 35 cm for small breed dogs), and one type for cats (35 cm).

Each collar has a secure lock, is packaged in a laminated bag, then placed in an individual cardboard box.

Usage:

If there are a lot of parasites on the animal’s body, putting on the collar should be preceded by washing with a special anti-parasitic pet shampoo and treating the animal’s bedding with an insecticidal agent. You should purchase a collar that matches the size of the animal.

Take it out of the box and out of the bag and carefully fasten it around the pet’s neck using a fastener so that there is a gap of a centimeter or one and a half between the tape and the skin. The excess part of the collar can be cut off by stepping back 2-3 cm from the retainer. By constantly wearing the collar, the animal becomes protected from parasites for about 5 months.

The existing parasites on the body die, but new ones from the environment do not attack.

Restrictions:

Usually, pets do not experience any adverse reactions to Bars collars. It is extremely rare (with increased sensitivity) that muscle tremors, vomiting, excessive salivation, etc. are recorded. In such a situation, the collar must be removed.

The use of this product is contraindicated in sick individuals, in pregnant and lactating females, as well as in kittens and puppies under two months of age. If the animal is being treated with some other insectoacaricidal agent, you cannot put a collar on it.

Contraindications

Each package of the product includes detailed instructions for use indicating contraindications in which the use of the collar will lead to serious health problems for pets.

These features include:

• Little age. It is dangerous to use this product for puppies under 2 months of age.
• Pregnancy and lactation are also contraindications.
• Illness or recovery period.
• Wasting or initially low weight . For dogs of toy breeds, it is better to choose something else.
• Intolerance to the components included in the impregnation.

After the strap is put on, carefully monitor the dog’s behavior and well-being throughout the day. If you notice serious changes in behavior or deterioration in health, remove the accessory and contact a veterinarian.

Bars flea drops for cats and kittens | instructions and indications, reviews, price

Flea drops for cats Bars is a drug designed to combat blood-sucking insects (fleas, ticks and other arthropods). The product helps to quickly get rid of unpleasant pests, while it does not have a toxic effect on the cat itself or on humans.

Indications for use

Fleas and other pests tend to multiply quickly, so as soon as you notice insects on your cat's body, you need to start using these drops. The main indication is the destruction of fleas and ticks. How can you tell if your pet is infested with fleas? The following signs exist:

• The cat is constantly itching and cleaning its fur, often shaking its head.
• If you look at the undercoat, you can see black traces of insect secretions in it.
• Stroke the animal against the grain and you are sure to find several adult fleas.

Ticks are much harder to spot if you don't perform daily preventive inspections. However, even over time, you can see white discharge on your pet’s fur—mite excrement. They cause severe itching and nervousness of the animal, often disrupting its normal sleep.

It is better not to put off treating your cat’s fur, since insects not only cause discomfort, but also spread dangerous diseases (for example, helminthiasis or dermatitis). The drug can also be used for preventive purposes, for example, if the animal lives in a rural area and is in contact with cattle.

The principle of action of the medicine

Bars drops contain fipronil, which destroys arthropods. Upon contact with skin, the active substance is quickly absorbed into the epidermis and sebaceous glands, while the circulatory system is not affected.

As a result, the pests develop paralysis, and after some time death occurs. The fipronil component affects not only adult insects, but also their larvae, which increases its effectiveness several times.

The drug is available in the form of drops, packaged in plastic pipettes, which ensures ease of use of the drug.

Instructions for use

The drug can be given to both adults and kittens, starting at the age of 2.5 months. To select the optimal dosage, it is recommended to weigh the animal, only then should the required number of drops be calculated.

If the weight of the animal does not exceed 1 kg, it is enough to apply ten drops to its skin; for cats that weigh from 1 to 3 kg, the dosage increases to 20 drops; finally, for heavier pets, the use of the entire pipette is indicated.

The medicine is applied once a day to dry skin (try to apply the medicine specifically to the epidermis, and not to the fur). After completing the treatment, you should not carry out water procedures for several days; in addition, it is not recommended to feed the cat for several hours.

If you notice a tick on your skin, you should additionally apply a few drops to the pest itself. The rest of the medicine is applied to the neck and near the spine (it is these parts that are most difficult for the cat to lick).

The procedure is carried out with gloves, and it is advisable to prevent the pet from coming into contact with children for one day. If the insecticide gets on the mucous membranes, they should be washed with plenty of warm water.

Sometimes, during the application of the drug, large mites do not fall off on their own; in this case, they can be carefully removed using tweezers.

Special instructions and personal preventive measures

Personal prevention measures

The owner of the animal, if there are cuts and abrasions on his hands, should use rubber gloves when manipulating the Bars® insectoacaricidal collar.

After attaching the collar to the animal, you should thoroughly wash your hands with warm water and soap, wash and dry your gloves.

An animal wearing the Bars® insectoacaricidal collar should not be allowed near small children.

The used collar and packaging are placed in a plastic bag and disposed of with household waste.

Spray Bars

The spray is a slightly more narrowly targeted product than drops, which does not detract from its advantages and repellent properties for parasites. The drug is much more intended for dogs, since it is recommended to spray it on the animal on the street, and by putting a muzzle on the dog, it is easier to protect it from licking the harmful substance than a cat. However, special aerosols for cats have also been developed.

The main purpose of this drug is to repel fleas, but it also does an excellent job of repelling ixodid ticks. When processing, it is important to protect your pet from getting the product into his eyes and ears.

The Leopard collar is one of the most popular similar products on the market. The cost of the accessory is within 160 rubles.

Excellent protection against cat fleas. Despite the fact that my cat is outside every day, leads an active lifestyle, and comes into contact with yard cats.

Alina, Moscow

This is the second year I have bought a flea collar for my cat for the summer. I am satisfied with the price of the Bars collar and its effectiveness. I don’t take it off even during pregnancy, everything is fine. I put it on for kittens at the age of 2 months, when they begin to actively explore the surrounding area. An effective drug, I recommend it to everyone. And inexpensive.

Tatiana, St. Petersburg

Before purchasing a protective product, we spent a long time studying reviews of the Bars collar for dogs. Now we use it all the time. I put it on my dog ​​in early spring. I use 2 collars per season. It helps against fleas well for 4 months, but stops working against ticks after 2 months. Therefore, I change the accessory after 90 days.

Elena, Tver

One of the best collars for dogs. The price is reasonable. Sold at any veterinary pharmacy. I haven't seen fleas on my dog ​​all summer. I put it on puppies from two months. There was an allergic reaction once - redness on the neck, but then it went away.

Dmitry, Voronezh

The Bars collar protects animals from blood-sucking parasites, prevents the development of dangerous diseases and helminthic infestation.

Instructions

Flea collars
Products should be removed from packaging before use. Place it around the neck and secure it in such a way that the distance from the neck to the accessory is at least 1 cm. The excess part of the tape is cut off with scissors. You are allowed to wear the collar continuously for six months. One accessory is enough to protect your pet for the entire warm period.

On a note!

Instructions for use are extremely simple. Animals respond well to the collar itself. But if it is noticed that a dog or cat is trying in every possible way to pull off the accessory, it is necessary to examine the pet. This behavior is typical for a situation where an allergy occurs with itching and burning.

The product begins to act 2 hours after putting on the accessory. This is how long it takes for the active substances to accumulate in the skin cells. If you plan to go out into nature with your pet, it is advisable to wear the accessory 2 days before the event.

Bars anti-tick collars

Collars are available in different lengths, namely 35, 50, 80 cm for small, medium and large breeds. They are designed to protect the animal from fleas and ticks. The collars are impregnated with fipronil and other auxiliary components. The active substance fipronil accumulates in the epidermis, sebaceous glands, follicles, then is released with the secretions of the glands onto the surface of the skin, thereby providing an antiparasitic and repellent effect, which persists with constant wearing of the collar for 4 months. The substance, entering the insect’s body, leads to paralysis, as a result of which the blood-sucking parasite dies before it has time to bite the dog.

Usage

The tick collar is put on so that there is a space of 1-1.5 cm between it and the neck, after which the collar is fixed and the excess part is cut off to avoid poisoning the pet.

Restrictions

• Bars collars are contraindicated for pregnant and lactating bitches, sick and weakened animals, as well as puppies under two months of age.
• The collar cannot be used simultaneously with other drugs of a similar effect, for example, with drops or spray, otherwise allergic reactions or poisoning of the animal are possible. However, before using the collar, it is permissible to wash the dog with “Bars” insecticidal shampoo or treat the bedding with “Bars” or “Bars Forte” spray.
• Some dogs may be intolerant to fipronil or other components, which can lead to an allergic reaction.

The price of collars depends on their length, so a collar 35 cm long costs 118 rubles, 50 cm – 150 rubles, and 80 cm – 160 rubles.

Reviews of the Bars collar

There are mixed reviews about the collars. Some people use it in combination with other products, so it is impossible to determine its effectiveness, some claim that drops and spray work better, but most dog breeders are unanimous in the opinion that the collar perfectly protects against fleas. According to the results of studies, when using collars on dogs, ticks were still found attached, but they were inactive and easily separated from the skin. It is advisable to use the collar in areas of the lowest concentration of ticks for dogs of small and medium breeds. Large dogs may require additional protection.

COMPOSITION AND RELEASE FORM The insect-acaricidal collar Leopard contains fipronil and an insect growth regulator as active ingredients, as well as auxiliary components. In appearance, it is a polymer tape 35 cm long, with a slight specific odor, equipped with a buckle for fixing it on the animal’s neck. Packed in cardboard boxes, 1 piece each. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES The combination of insecto-acaricides in the collar exhibits synergistic action against larvae and mature ticks of the Ixodidae family and insects Linognathus setosus, Trichodectes canis and Ctenocephalides spp. The high antiparasitic activity of the collar is due to the presence of fipronil and an insect growth regulator in the polymer tape. The mechanism of action of fipronil is to block the GABA-dependent receptors of the parasite and disrupt neuromuscular transmission, which leads to its paralysis and death. The insect growth regulator inhibits the processes of chitin formation, disrupts the processes of molting, pupation and fledging of the parasite. In terms of the degree of impact on the body of warm-blooded animals, the drug is classified as a moderately dangerous substance and does not have a locally irritating, resorptive-toxic, embryotoxic, teratogenic or sensitizing effect. INDICATIONS Prevention and treatment of dog entomosis (lice, fleas, lice). Prevention of infection of dogs by ixodid ticks. DOSES AND METHOD OF APPLICATION After opening the package, put the collar on the animal, adjusting it in size so that there is a gap of 1 - 1.5 cm between the neck and the tape, then pass the end of the tape through the loops of the buckle, and cut off the excess. In the first days of using the collar, an ixodid tick may attach, but after a day it dies and falls off spontaneously. The duration of the protective effect with continuous use of the collar is: against ticks - 4 months, against fleas, lice and lice - 5 months. SIDE EFFECTS In most cases not observed. In some animals with hypersensitivity, signs of intoxication and allergies are possible (tremor, vomiting, excessive salivation and lacrimation, itching, irritation and redness of the skin).

Leopard is an effective antiparasitic drug that is prescribed to prevent infection of an animal by fleas, ticks (including lice-eating, ixodid and sarcoptic ticks), as well as lice.

The product has a pleasant odor and does not have a toxic effect on animals, provided that the application is correct.
