Product description

The official registration of Ataxxa is prevention and treatment of fleas in dogs.
This is the effect of imidacloprid, it will kill any fleas on your dog, even before biting, within less than a day after administration.
However, Ataxxa also has an effect against ticks, sand flies, mosquitoes and stable flies, due to the other active ingredient permethrin.
Ataxxa can be administered from 7 weeks of age and/or a weight of 1.5 kg.
It is recommended to repeat the administration every month.
One treatment of your dog prevents future flea infestation for a period of 4 weeks.
Ataxxa can be used to treat flea allergy dermatitis.
Drops applied to the neck (spot-on).
Available in 4 variants as a 4-pack of pipettes.

It is important to treat all animals in the house against fleas. In case of a flea infestation, or the existing risk of a flea infestation, it is also necessary to treat the infected environment, so that you kill larvae and all adult fleas in the house. Indoor-X Spray is a suitable product for this.
Fleas are intermediate hosts of the dog tapeworm Dipylidium Caninum. This tapeworm can be transmitted by swallowing a flea by dogs and cats. This is one of the reasons why veterinarians advise regularly deworming your pets.
It is wise to deworm all adult dogs up to 4 times a year or sometimes even more depending on the risk of infection.
