Pets are susceptible to countless attacks from parasites all year round. Ticks, fleas, lice, lice in dogs and cats can infect an animal, even if it does not go outside at all. Bloodsuckers can enter a house from the basement, a neighboring apartment, or on a person’s clothes or shoes. Your pet's constant stay in the apartment does not guarantee its protection from insect pests that carry dangerous diseases. That is why veterinarians recommend regular treatment of animals with antiparasitic agents. Thus, the use of Rolf Club 3D drops for cats against fleas has already been appreciated by many owners of mustachioed pets.

- Entomosis. This pathology is a consequence of damage from ticks, lice, lice and fleas.
- Otodectosis. The culprit is the Otodectescynotis mite. It affects the cat's external auditory canals.
- Notoendrosis (scabies). The Notoedres subcutaneous mite lives under the layer of epidermis and can move from an animal to a person.
Rolf will also rid the cat of ixodid ticks - these are carriers of many viral and bacterial diseases. It can be used for prevention against ectoparasites and for protection against mosquitoes and midges.

DESCRIPTION
Rolf Club 3D spray is a drug for cats to combat ectoparasites. In appearance, the drug is a transparent liquid of light yellow color.
COMPOUND
Rolf Club 3D spray for cats contains as active ingredients fipronil - 0.4%, etofenprox - 0.6%, pyriproxyfen - 0.2% and excipients: polyethylene glycol (PEG 400), pine fragrance (PINE 917), Tween-80 and isopropyl alcohol.
PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
RolfClub 3D spray for cats belongs to combined insectoacaricidal drugs.
The combination of fipronil, etofenprox and pyriproxyfen, which are part of the drug, provides a wide range of its contact insectoacaricidal effect on the sexually mature and immature (larvae) phases of development of fleas, lice, sarcoggoid and ixodid ticks parasitizing cats, and protection against blood-sucking dipterous insects (mosquitoes, midges and mosquitoes).
Fipronil is an insectoacaricide of the phenylpyrazoles group, the mechanism of action of which is to block GABA-dependent arthropod receptors, disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death of ectoparasites.
Etofenprox belongs to the group of synthetic pyrethroids, has insectoacaricidal and repellent activity, and has a knockdown effect at the first contact of the ecgoparasite with the hair of the treated animal (before the bite or attachment). Its action is due to blocking the transmission of nerve impulses in the parasite by changing the permeability of membranes to sodium ions, which leads to a paralyzing effect.
Pyriproxyfen is an analogue of natural juvenile hormone that regulates the growth and development of insects. The mechanism of its action is to disrupt the processes of chitin synthesis and molting of larvae, which prevents the development of full-fledged pupae, causing the death of insects in the preimaginal phases of development, stopping the replenishment of the population at the egg and larval stages and the appearance of mature insects on animals and in places where they are kept.
After applying the drug to the skin and hair, its active components are practically not absorbed into the systemic bloodstream, accumulate in the hair, epidermis, hair follicles and sebaceous glands, and have a long-term insectoacaricidal and repellent effect. After a single treatment, the duration of the protective effect against ixodid ticks lasts for 30 days, against fleas and lice-eaters - up to 3 months, against dipterous blood-sucking insects - up to 5 days.
RolfClub 3D spray for cats in terms of the degree of impact on the body is classified as a low-hazard substance (hazard class 4 according to GOST 12.1.007), does not have skin-irritating, resorptive-toxic, embryotoxic, teratogenic and mutagenic effects; upon contact with eyes, causes mild irritation. The drug is toxic to rabbits, bees, as well as fish and other aquatic organisms.
RolfClub 3D spray for cats should not be used simultaneously with other insectoacaricidal preparations for treating animals.
INDICATIONS
RolfClub 3D spray for cats is used for the treatment and prevention of entomosis caused by fleas and lice eaters, acarosis caused by ixodid and sarcoptic ticks, to protect animals from dipterous blood-sucking insects (mosquitoes, midges and mosquitoes) and the prevention of vector-borne diseases (hemobartonellosis, dirofilariasis).
APPLICATION
Animals are treated outdoors or in a well-ventilated room with open windows (vents), away from open fire, after removing cages with ornamental birds from the room and covering aquariums with fish.
To prevent licking of the drug after treatment, the animal is put on a muzzle, a cervical collar, or the jaws are secured with a loop of braid.
Before use, shake the bottle with the drug, holding it vertically, press the spray head, directing the aerosol torch at the surface to be treated from a distance of 20 - 25 cm.
The dose of the drug, depending on the condition of the coat, is 1.5 - 3.0 ml per 1 kg of animal weight. One press on the spray head of a 200 ml bottle provides a dose of the drug equal to 1.1 ml; bottles with a capacity of 100 and 150 ml provide a dose of the drug equal to 0.125 and 0.11 ml, respectively.
To destroy fleas, lice-eaters and prevent attacks by ixodid ticks and dipterous blood-sucking insects, the entire body of the animal is treated with the drug against hair growth, slightly moisturizing the hair (in animals of long-haired breeds, the hair is lifted by hand). Covering the animal's eyes, treat the ears and chest, and lightly rub the drug around the eyes and nose with the tips of your fingers (in gloves).
Repeated treatments are carried out according to indications, but not more than once a month.
RolfClub 3D spray for cats has a pronounced knockdown effect that occurs within 3 minutes, which prevents the attachment of ixodid ticks when they attack an animal. To destroy attached ticks, the drug is applied to the tick and the place of its attachment to the skin (one press on the spray head). If the tick does not fall off spontaneously within 20 minutes, it is carefully pulled out of the skin with special hooks for removing ixodid ticks or tweezers and destroyed.
When animals are affected by notoedrosis, the drug is applied to the affected areas of the body, previously cleared of scabs, covering the borderline healthy skin up to 1 cm, at the rate of 1 ml per 10 - 15 cm² of the affected area of the animal's body.
Treatment is carried out 2–4 times with an interval of 7–10 days until the animal’s clinical recovery, which is confirmed by two negative results of microscopic studies.
Animals with large affected areas are treated in two doses with an interval of 1 day, applying the drug to the affected areas of first one and then the other half of the body.
Treatment of animals is recommended to be carried out comprehensively using pathogenetic and symptomatic drugs.
To treat otodectosis, the external auditory canal is cleaned of scabs and crusts, then, directing the aerosol torch at the inner surface of the auricle, the drug is applied in a dose of 1 ml, after which the auricle is folded in half lengthwise and its base is massaged. Both ears must be treated, even if only one ear is affected by otodectosis. The treatment is repeated 2 – 3 times with an interval of 7 – 10 days. For otodeccosis complicated by otitis media, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed in accordance with the instructions for use.
Until the coat is completely dry, the animal should not be allowed near open fires or heating devices and should be washed with detergent and bathed in open water for 24 hours after treatment.
In order to destroy ectoparasites in animal housing and prevent re-infestation, kennels, bedding, blankets and other animal care items are treated with a spray at the rate of 14 - 15 ml per 1 m² of treated surface. For 2 days, do not allow the animal to come into contact with the treated items, and before subsequent use, they are washed (washed) with detergent.
Violations of the drug use regimen should be avoided, as this may lead to a decrease in effectiveness. If the next treatment is missed, it is carried out in the same dose according to the same scheme.

Operating principle
Rolf Club solution for cats will be a good protection against ectoparasites, thanks to the complex action of the active components. All of them have an insectoacaricidal effect and destroy insects at all stages of their development from larvae to adults. Component actions:
- Etofenprox blocks the transmission of nerve impulses in adult ectoparasites. They are paralyzed, after which the insects die. This happens as soon as a tick or flea gets on the cat’s fur.
- Fipronil has similar properties: insects stop moving and die.
- Pyriproxyfen is dangerous for larvae. It disrupts their molting process and prevents the appearance of pupae. Thus, Rolf Club drops stop the process of insect population.
The peculiarity of the insectoacaricidal drug is that it begins to act almost immediately. Rolf Club is evenly distributed over the skin and coat. A couple of minutes is enough for ectoparasites, mosquitoes and midges to feel the effect of the drops.
Another plus is that the drug does not enter the bloodstream. It accumulates in the upper layers of the skin and acts for a long time.
Rolf Club drops have the third class of danger.

- Insect paralysis occurs within the first minutes after they land on the cat's fur. This is the merit of etofenprox.
- Fipronil provides prolonged action of the drops. They protect the animal for a long time: a week - from dipteran bites, up to 30 days - from ixodid ticks, a couple of months - from ectoparasites.
- Since pyriproxyfen has a detrimental effect on the larvae, the risk of repeated insect damage disappears.
Rolf Club is allowed for cats of all breeds.
When it's prohibited
You should not use Rolf Club for cats in the following cases:
- for diseases caused by infections;
- when bearing offspring;
- during lactation;
- when exhausted due to starvation, poor nutrition or problems with food absorption;
- with intolerance.
The antiparasitic agent can only be used on healthy animals. The collar can be used for kittens from 2 months, spray and drops - from 3 months.
In case of intolerance or overdose, the following side effects may occur:
- lethargy and depression;
- lack of appetite;
- vomiting and nausea;
- increased saliva production;
- muscle tremors;
- impaired coordination of movements, etc.
Local reactions in the form of itching or redness are also possible. If an animal develops similar symptoms, it needs to be bathed, possibly using shampoo.
Instructions for use
Using insectoacaricidal drops is quite simple. This is done like this:
- The tip is cut off from the tube with the solution.
- At the withers or at the base of the cat's skull, the fur moves apart. The required amount of the drug is applied to the skin pointwise.
The dosage is determined taking into account the cat’s body weight:
- for a pet weighing less than 4 kg – 0.5 ml of Rolf Club;
- for a cat that weighs from 4 to 8 kg – 0.8 ml;
- for a larger animal – 1.5 ml.
The main condition is that the cat’s skin at the treatment site must be dry and intact. After applying the drops, ectoparasites that have managed to stick to the skin or settle in the fur and on the body die within one or two hours.
The frequency of preventative treatments is no more than once a month. Features of use for therapeutic purposes:
- If affected by an ixodid parasite: drop the solution onto the insect and the place to which it has attached. The tick will fall off on its own. If this does not happen (control time is up to 20 minutes), the parasite must be carefully removed with tweezers.
- To treat otodectosis, the ear canals of both ears are cleaned and up to 3 drops of solution are instilled into them. The ear is then gently massaged at the base so that the medicine is distributed evenly. The number of treatments is 2–3, the break between procedures is from 5 days to a week.
- For notoedrosis, apply the solution to the affected areas and the skin around them for at least a centimeter. The number of treatments - from 2 to 4 - depends on the condition of the cat. They are carried out with a break of a week to 10 days. If the affected areas are large, they are treated alternately in two days. Treatment is stopped after receiving 2 negative tests. A special collar will prevent the droplets from being licked from the skin; it is placed around the cat’s neck.
After using the Rolf Club solution, your pet should not be bathed for two days.
Owner reviews
Anastasia, owner of the Pomeranian Spitz:
“We have been using Rolf drops for 3 years. Everything was always fine, but the dog did not tolerate the last treatment well. Severe itching began. The baby itched herself on furniture and door frames almost all night until she was given an anti-allergenic remedy. I think this is the last time we came across a craft. By the way, recently the number of negative reviews about the medicine has increased significantly. I’m amazed, I’ll have to look for an alternative.”
Lyudmila, owner of the Bernese Mountain Dog puppy:
“We bought a Rolf collar for a 4-month-old puppy. After 2 hours, severe vomiting began. After a while, the experiment was repeated - the reaction was the same. I do not recommend this product to anyone. I think it is very toxic and not safe for pets.”
Andrey, breeder of English bulldogs:
“For several years I have been using Rolf drops and spray to protect my dogs from ticks. An excellent tool. During all this time, not a single tick was attached, and outside the city where we live, there are a lot of them. I use the product for both adult dogs and puppies. I have never observed any negative reactions. Even our bitch, who is highly sensitive, tolerates the drug well.”
Contraindications and possible side effects
The list of contraindications to the use of drops is small, but it exists. Drops cannot be used to treat:
- kittens less than 12 weeks old;
- cats that bear or feed offspring;
- pets with established sensitivity to the components of the solution;
- animals that have been diagnosed with an infectious disease (or have recently had it).
It is not recommended to use the medicine together with other drugs against ectoparasites. Violation of the processing schedule reduces its effectiveness.
When treating otodectosis, the cat must first be shown to a specialist so that he can confirm the diagnosis and make sure the integrity of the eardrum.
If the dosage is observed, side effects are usually not observed. If the cat develops excessive salivation, tears and changes in the skin, the solution must be washed off. In particularly severe cases, medications are used to relieve symptoms.
