FAQ

Can I use Effipro Spray 500 ml on a cat?

Yes, provided the permethrin concentration is appropriate for felines (usually 1% or 2%). If the product is labeled "for dogs" with a high concentration, do not use it on cats. Check the package insert or ask your veterinarian before use.

Is it safe for puppies or kittens?

Effipro Spray is indicated for animals 12 weeks of age and older. Do not use it on younger animals without consulting a veterinarian, as their nervous system is more sensitive to pyrethroids.

How long does the treatment last with a 500ml container?

It depends on the size of the pet and the number of applications. For a medium-sized dog (15-20 kg), one application may require about 20-30 sprays, so the container could last between 4 and 6 complete treatments. For small cats, the duration is longer.

Can I bathe my dog ​​after applying the spray?

It is recommended not to bathe your pet 48 hours before or after application to avoid reducing its effectiveness. If the pet gets wet accidentally, the product remains active, but frequent bathing will shorten its duration.

What do I do if my pet licks the spray?

Permethrin can cause excessive salivation or vomiting if ingested in large quantities. If you observe these symptoms, rinse your pet's mouth with water and contact your veterinarian. To prevent this, apply the spray to areas that are difficult for your pet to lick (nape of the neck, back).

Does Effipro Spray protect against mosquitoes?

In dogs, permethrin has a repellent effect against mosquitoes and sand flies, helping to prevent leishmaniasis. In cats, this protection is not guaranteed; consult your veterinarian for safe alternatives.
