-
My cat is startled by aerosols - is the flea spray quiet?
-
Both our flea spray products for cats are not aerosols, but pump action sprays. Not only does this allow an accurate control
of dosage for the cat, but a very low noise, so it minimises the chance of distress for the pet.
-
How often should an on-animal flea spray be used?
-
Beaphar Flea Sprays contain natural Pyrethrum and work on the surface of the animal. The sprays are effective for around
4 days and are used mainly to kill an infestation quickly. After this period of time, a longer-acting flea treatment
should be used. Beaphar has a wide variety of effective flea collars, as well as spot on treatments, to complement
our flea sprays. Fleas spend most of their life-cycle not on the pet, but in the home environment. If this source
of reinfestation is not effectively treated, newly-hatched fleas will still bite family members and will reinfect
the pet. In this case, a good household flea spray must be used, such as Beaphar Defest or Beaphar Home Flea Spray,
to treat carpets and soft furnishings in all rooms that the pet has access to.
-
Is it ok for cats to groom each other after using a flea spray?
-
No; cats should not groom themselves or another treated cat or dog until the fur is dry. Cats can be kept in a warm place
to help the drying process, however the owner should not use a hair dryer or put pets near an open fire as the product
is flammable. Cats must either be watched or separated until their fur is dry.
-
How long will it take pets to dry out after using a flea spray?
-
It is normal for pets to be slightly damp immediately after spraying with the flea treatment, although the formula is designed
to dry quickly. Any excess should be removed immediately with a towel, and pets kept warm until they are dry.
-
Will flea sprays stop working if dogs go swimming?
-
Beaphar flea sprays contain natural Pyrethrum and work on the surface of the animal. The sprays are designed to work for
up to 4 days as an initial treatment to kill fleas. By immersing itself in water, a dog is likely to reduce the effectiveness
of the spray. It is advised that the dog should not bathe in ponds, streams, etc. immediately after treatment, as
this may also harm the fish/animals in the water.
-
Is it ok to use a flea spray which is past its use-by date?
-
A medicine should not be used after its use by, best before or expiry date. The flea sprays are guaranteed to be safe and
effective if used in accordance with their label instructions; this includes the use by date. After this time, the
safety and effectiveness of the treatment may be reduced. We would always recommend disposing of the old spray responsibly
and purchasing a new one to guarantee efficacy and for the welfare of the pet.
