It is quite difficult to completely prevent a pet from becoming infected with fleas. A person can bring infectious pathogens into an apartment on his shoes after a walk. Fleas, ticks and other parasites can cause enormous harm to an unprotected pet.
The solution to the problem is highly effective products called BlochNet , which can be used both in detecting parasites and in preventive measures. Let's look at what form the drugs come in and how to use them correctly.
Composition and features of the drug
The formula of the product is designed in such a way that the effect is not just one hundred percent, but also long-lasting. Fleanet contains serious chemicals that together can produce a positive result without harm to the animal:
- dimethyl aphthalate;
- fipronil;
- benzyl benzoate.
The product does not contain toxic permethrin, which only increases its safety for pets. At the same time, an integrated approach to the development of a product makes it possible to improve its effect by reducing the level of parasite addiction to the components.
General information
The official trade name of the medicine is BlochNet max. The drug has several generic names:
—
fipronil;
-
benzyl benzoate;
-
diethyltoluamide;
—
ether (isopropyl);
—
juvemon.
Owners of four-legged friends should remember all these names. This will help you avoid making mistakes when purchasing the drug. The product is intended for external use only. The use of BlochNet internally is unacceptable!
Insect-acaricidal drops consist of several components:
- 1 ml of substance contains 20 mg of fipronil,
- 290 mg benzyl benzoate,
- 57 mg dimethyl phthalate,
- a number of auxiliary components.
The appearance of the drug is a transparent, oily, slightly viscous liquid. The color can vary from perfectly white (colorless) to light yellow. The presence of aromatic substances provides a pleasant aromatic effect.
You can purchase BlochNet max in veterinary clinics and pet stores. The product is packaged in bottles with dropper dispensers, capacity 1, 2, 3 or 4 ml. Covers with tamper evident function – standard cardboard packaging. Inside are instructions for use.
Authors of development and line
The drug is free of fleas - a product of the Russian scientific and production company SKiFF. Today it occupies a leading position in the country's veterinary market. Products produced under its auspices are actively used to solve the problem of ticks, fleas, lice and other parasites in both cats and dogs.
The range of products includes:
- drops for dogs on the withers;
- spray for cats and dogs for one-time treatment;
- Blokhnet max drops are an improved analogue.
Drops for dogs include several drug options, taking into account the weight of animals from 10 to 40 kg, as well as drops for cats. Parasites under the influence of the product die after the first contact with the pet. The product is also suitable as a preventative to protect the animal from possible infection by parasites - the strong insecticidal smell will prevent contact with fleas, ticks and other pests.
Blokhnet spray is suitable for treating both cats and dogs; it is intended for a one-time treatment of the animal’s fur. The drug is relevant in cases where pets are intolerant to insecticidal drugs that somehow penetrate the blood. The spray acts more delicately in this regard, fighting parasites at the level of external contact.
Blochnet max drops are a completely separate line created by Astrapharma based on the original drug. The line completely duplicates the prototype, except that the composition of the new products is considered more effective and safer. Just as in the case of the original, Blochnet max is represented by several types of drops for cats and dogs, depending on body weight.
The remedies described above have repeatedly proven their effectiveness in the fight against parasites that can make the life of animals unbearable. The most suitable option is selected for each pet, taking into account its age, health status, and reaction to insecticidal drugs.
How Blokhnet works - useful to know
As already noted, fleanet for cats and dogs includes several active components, which together enhance the toxic effect on pests. The peculiarity of the product lies in its ability not only to destroy adult individuals and their offspring in the form of oviposition, but also to repel potentially dangerous parasites for a long time after treatment.
The drug is packaged in convenient dropper bottles with different volumes (from 1 to 4 ml). Depending on the weight of the pet, choose one or another package at the rate of 1 ml per 10 kg of weight.
As a result of treatment, the product affects parasites from the blood-sucking group:
- ticks;
- fleas;
- lice, etc.
Fipronil and benzyl benzoate block the nerve impulses of pests, which causes paralysis followed by death. The dimethyl phthalate included in the composition plays the role of a pest repellent.
Contraindications
If drugs are prescribed incorrectly and self-medication can only worsen the condition and develop an intolerance complex to the active components. The use of BlochNet is associated with certain contraindications, taking into account which will limit possible side effects.
The list of contraindications for this drug includes:
- It is prohibited to treat puppies under 1 year of age. For kittens, this period of restriction ends after 10 months from birth.
- Animals that are sick or have reduced immunity should not be treated. Applying an insectoacaricidal drug to a weakened animal’s body can further aggravate its current condition.
- After your pet recovers, you should wait a month to restore the immune system.
- Handling pregnant or lactating dogs and cats is prohibited. Such actions can significantly harm future offspring.
How to use drops correctly?
The drug fleanet (the instructions require strict adherence) is applied in drops to the skin and hair of the infected pet, observing the dosage. To do this, the animal's fur in the withers area is delicately divided into two parts, thus exposing an area of skin. The drug is applied to it in several places so that the animal cannot lick the product.
The area at the withers can be replaced with a section at the base of the skull, or the skin and hair can be treated along the entire spine if the animal is large. Before starting treatment, it is important to ensure that there are no injuries on the animal’s body:
- wounds;
- bites;
- cuts;
- ulcers, etc.
The duration of action of the drug varies. Cats, for example, can forget about fleas for several months, but dogs can be susceptible to a second attack within a month. The drug will protect pets from other types of pests for at least a month. Therefore, repeated treatment is also recommended every month, but not more often.
For animals diagnosed with otodectosis (ear scabies as a result of infection by ear mites), fleanet drops are used differently. They start by cleaning the pet’s ears from crusts and scabs with a swab dipped in Blochnet. Clean and dried ears are instilled with drops (3-4 in each), after which they are folded and the ear is gently massaged.
To achieve a positive result, ear treatment is carried out in the morning and evening every 7-10 days. You need to drip the drug into two ears at once, even if one of them is healthy, thus preventing the spread of parasites.
To defeat ixodid ticks, drops are applied to each pest separately. The pest will loosen its grip within 20 minutes after treatment; you can help it with this using tweezers.
For greater effect, treat the pet's bedding with the drug.
Adverse symptoms
Negative side effects from using BlochNet can occur for various reasons; you should not blame yourself for the symptoms. A common cause of their development is the animal’s hypersensitivity to one of the components of the drug. These side effects go away on their own within a few days.
The following physiological processes may be observed:
- muscle tremors, trembling of the limbs or other areas appear;
- the amount of tear secretions increases, there is excessive moisture in the eye area, which must be removed with napkins;
- there is increased salivation;
- sometimes the pet may lose its appetite, even its favorite food will remain in the bowl;
- Severe negative symptoms include gag reflexes, nausea, irritation and rashes on the skin.
You should not be afraid of the above physiological processes, since they cannot lead to a serious deterioration in the pet’s condition. If profuse skin rashes are detected, the treatment area should be washed with copious amounts of warm water. The allergic reaction in this case is explained by excessive sensitivity, which requires a reduction in the drug dose or a change in drug.
A common cause of side symptoms is incorrect dosage on the part of the owner himself. If you follow the instructions and properly calculate the amount of the drug, no negative processes will occur in the animal’s body.
Spray Blokhnet: how to use correctly?
The instructions for cats and dogs for using Blokhnet spray are slightly different. The drug is suitable for one-time treatment of pet skin. It is prescribed, as already noted, in case of personal intolerance to the components included in the insecticide.
The spray works as effectively as drops, but does not enter the bloodstream and does not affect receptors associated with the reaction to the drug.
The spray is used as follows: in the direction opposite to the fur, the drug is sprayed at a distance of 30 cm from the skin. It is extremely important to treat the animal in comfortable, windless conditions outside.
Drops Max - how they work and the algorithm for use
Considering that Max drops are an improved copy of the original Blokhnet drops, they are used according to the same principle. But the effect of the treatment will be more noticeable - the pests will die faster, and the animal will feel practically nothing. On average, pets can forget about blood-sucking pests after treatment for at least a month, and in cases with fleas - for two.
Treatment with the drug is carried out wearing rubber gloves that can protect the skin of the hands from allergic reactions to individual components of the product. After treatment, the animal should not have contact with family members for 48 hours. Below are reviews from owners of cats and dogs who have tested the effects of Blokhnet in practice.
Alina, owner of the cat Kiri and the cat Zosya: “My pets are absolutely indoors, that is, they never go outside at all. And then in the fall they both start to itch. I looked under the fur and found a crowd of fleas. They recommended Blokhnet drops. I only needed 2 drops on the withers of each cat. Already on the third day, both stopped itching. Re-treatment has not yet been required, although Zosya is fluffy.”
Konstantin, owner of the cat Vasily: “The store recommended an improved version of Blochnet Max.” Believed, bought, processed. The effect was shocking, to put it mildly. Yes, the fleas came under the influence of the drug - this is obvious, but at first they actively chewed the cat for several days, and then simply scattered around the apartment in a semi-fainting state! What kind of remedy? It’s not clear what its improved effect is, I’ll look for something more effective!”
