Special warnings for each target species - Parasites need to start feeding on the host to become exposed to Lotilaner; therefore, the risk of the transmission of parasite borne diseases cannot be completely excluded. The possibility that other animals in the same household can be a source of re-infection with fleas should be considered, and these should be treated as necessary with an appropriate product. All stages of fleas can infest the dog’s bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets and soft furnishings. In case of massive flea infestation and at the beginning of the control measures, these areas should be treated with a suitable environmental product and then vacuumed regularly.
Special precautions for use in animals - All safety and efficacy data have been acquired from dogs and puppies 8 weeks of age and older and 1.3 kg of body weight and greater. In the absence of available data, a veterinarian should be consulted before treatment in puppies younger than 8 weeks of age or less than 1.3 kg of body weight. Inform your veterinary surgeon that you are using this product if s/he provides your dog with any other medication.
