Instructions
COMPOSITION AND FORM OF RELEASE
The insect-acaricidal collar Bars contains fipronil and an insect growth regulator, as well as auxiliary components, as active ingredients. 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 cat entomosis (lice, fleas, lice). Prevention of infestation of cats with ixodid ticks.
DOSES AND METHOD OF APPLICATION
After opening the package, the collar is put on the animal, adjusted in size so that there is a gap of 1? 1.5 cm, 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 they are 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). If these signs or other manifestations of intolerance appear, the collar should be removed.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Hypersensitivity to the components of the polymer collar tape. It is not allowed to be used by kittens under 8 weeks of age, as well as by animals suffering from infectious diseases and convalescent animals.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
At the end of the procedure, it is recommended to wash your hands thoroughly with soap. If you have cuts or abrasions on your hands, it is advisable to use rubber gloves.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
With caution (list B). In a dry place, protected from direct sunlight, out of reach of children and animals. Separated from food and feed at temperatures from 0 to 25 °C. Shelf life: 2 years.
Composition and pharmacological properties:
The Bars tick collar is treated with an insect growth regulator and fipronil, which have pronounced activity against parasites such as fleas, lice, lice and ixodid ticks in the mature and larval phases of development. The active components are gradually released from the surface of the collar and transferred to the skin and coat of the animal. Fipronil is not absorbed into the systemic circulation. After application, it accumulates in the dog’s epidermis, is released onto the surface of the skin along with sebaceous secretions and has a long-lasting insectoacaricidal and repellent effect. The peculiarities of the action of fipronil are that it disrupts the passage of chlorine ions in the GABA-dependent receptors of ectoparasites, impairs the transmission of nerve impulses and the activity of the nervous system, causing paralysis and death of arthropods. The growth of integumentary tissues in parasites is also suppressed, which disrupts the development of the larvae, the molting of larvae and prevents the appearance of full-fledged pupae, causing the death of ticks and insects even in the preimaginal phase of development.
Application
The Bars collar for dogs and cats is used according to the same principle. The accessory is put on the animal's neck and adjusted so that there is a small gap of 1-1.5 cm between the collar and the neck. After this, the long end of the tape is passed through the clamp and the excess is cut off. The accessory requires constant wearing; only in this case can you count on effective protection against fleas and ticks.
On a note!
If your pet is heavily infested with fleas, before using a protective collar, it should be bathed with anti-flea shampoo, strictly following the instructions.
Bars anti-flea collars have a number of advantages:
- low price - in comparison with anti-parasitic drops it is several times lower;
- high efficiency due to the presence of insecticides;
- ease of use;
- long-term protection against fleas and ticks;
- The neutral color allows you to combine the collar with decorative accessories.
The Leopard Collar
is not without its disadvantages:
- Not all animals willingly wear collars; they strive to take them off and experience discomfort.
- The Bars collar for cats, reviews confirm this, provokes allergic reactions in some pets, which are manifested by the appearance of itching, red spots, rashes, muscle tremors, increased salivation and lacrimation. The same symptoms can be observed in a dog if it has an individual intolerance to the components of the product.
Bars drops for external use
The main active ingredient of this drug is fipronil, which has a detrimental effect on parasites. Additional substances diflubenzuron and dicarboximide enhance its effect.
The drops are not absorbed into the blood, but accumulate in the sebaceous glands, which provides sufficiently long-term protection against parasites, while at the same time allowing you to maintain the health of your pet through minimal influence of harmful substances on the body.
Bars drops are used in cases of detection of fleas, lice, lice, as well as various types of subcutaneous mites. The drug is applied to the animal's skin either between the shoulder blades or at the base of the skull to prevent accidental licking of the product. The number of drops or pipettes is determined according to the table in the instructions. The greater the pet's weight, the greater the number of drops required to achieve the desired effect. The effect of such protection against parasites lasts approximately one and a half to two months. However, there are also reviews about a much shorter period of validity in the case of frequent and prolonged stay of the animal in the wild (hunting, hiking).
Drops can also help in the fight against ixodid ticks that have attached themselves to your pet. To do this, you need to carefully apply a drop of the drug to the parasite and wait half an hour. If necessary (if the tick does not fall off on its own), you will need to carefully remove it using tweezers.
Before using the drug, it is recommended to carefully read the instructions and adhere to its recommendations and safety rules. Avoid overdose, as it can harm the animal. It has also been noted that cats tolerate the effects of the drug somewhat worse than dogs.
Dosage for dogs
After opening the package, the collar is put on the animal, adjusted in size so that there is a gap of 1 - 1.5 cm between the neck and the ribbon, then the end of the ribbon is passed through the loops of the buckle, and the excess is cut off. 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.
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.

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.
Contraindications
Each accessory comes with detailed instructions for use, which should be read carefully to avoid negative relapses. You cannot use a flea collar for Bars cats if the animal is under 2 months old. The use of the accessory is prohibited for sick, malnourished pets, lactating and pregnant females, small puppies whose age has not reached 60 days. If pets live in an apartment, it is imperative to treat the premises using the best anti-flea products in the apartment. You can also use the service of a specialized company and carry out pest control.

In this sense, everything is fine; after all, you wash your hands after contact with an animal. But look at the animal - my cat has all the hair coming out under his collar - he has an allergy. So pay attention to how his skin feels under the collar, so that if anything happens, remove it immediately.
