Mechanism of influence

Refers to the antiparasitic combination drugs "Dana Ultra" (dog collar). Testimonies indicate the effectiveness of the tool, but let's examine in detail the mechanism of its operation. The collar acts as follows. Gradually, active substances of a wide spectrum of action start to be released from its surface, preventing the appearance of larvae and sexually mature lice, fleas, withers, sarcopthoid and ixodid ticks, nematodes of housing and public utilities.

In this case, pyriproxyphene and fipronil are distributed throughout the body of the animal, practically not absorbed. After that, they accumulate in hair follicles, epidermis, sebaceous glands, which allows them to protect the animal from parasites for a long time. On the degree of impact, the collar refers to substances of the 3rd class, "moderately dangerous". The product is well tolerated by animals, does not have a resorptive-toxic and irritating effect. It is toxic to birds, rabbits, fish and other hydrobicides.

Indications

In which cases, animals are recommended to wear the tape "Dana Ultra". The owners' feedback indicates that often veterinarians themselves assign such adaptations to animals. Let's list the cases when wearing a collar is considered necessary:

1. For destruction and protection against lice, fleas, withers, mites.
2. For preventive purposes, to prevent otodectosis (ear scabies).
3. For destruction and protection from nematoses.

Mode of application

It is quite easy to use the product. It is necessary to open the package neatly and put the collar on the animal, adjusting it to fit. Remember, there should be a gap of about 1-2 cm between the ribbon and the neck of the pet. After that, the end of the collar is passed to the free end of the fastener. The excess tape should be cut so that it does not interfere with the animal.

If there are a lot of parasites, it is recommended to wash the pet with a zooshampoo with an insecticidal action before putting on the collar. In order to prevent re-infection, it is necessary to treat the care items and litter of the animal with insectic-acaricidal means, following the instructions of the instructions attached to them. In the first days after putting on a collar, attacks and attachment of ticks are possible, but in a few days the parasites will fall off themselves. Continuous use of the tape "Dana Ultra" protects cats and dogs from parasites for as long as 4 months.

Side effects

The tape "Dana Ultra" is used for cats. Reviews indicate that it can cause unpleasant side effects. There are negative consequences in dogs. Although, as the owners of both types of pets write, they are quite rare. Among the side reactions should be:

• Allergic reactions;
• Vomiting;
• Muscular tremor;
• Increased salivation.

In case of occurrence of any of these symptoms, the collar should be removed and symptomatic and desensitizing therapy should be performed. Skin and coat should be washed with shampoo or soap. At the first use of the remedy, short-term bouts of anxiety and slight lachrymation are possible.

2. Pregnancy and lactation.
3. Severe infectious diseases.
4. Recovery period.
5. Exhaustion and anger of the animal.

Security measures

There are a number of safety measures that must be followed when contacting the Dana Ultra for Dogs. Reviews of buyers almost do not note any impact of the collar on a person, however, it is worth sticking to the rules. First of all, do not take the collar with not protected gloves hands, if they are present abrasions, cuts or other damage that violate the integrity of the skin. After the tape was worn on the pet, hands should be thoroughly washed with soap. If gloves were used, they should also be rinsed.

During the period of wearing the collar, you must ensure that the animal does not come into contact with children who are under 2 years old. Also, do not allow the child to touch the collar or play with it. This can not only cause various skin irritations, but also lead to the ingress of small parts into the respiratory tract of the baby.
