A matter of protection against ticks and fleas in dogs occurs before the start of the season for each owner of a four-friend. Today, the market presents a huge assortment of antiparasitic drugs that differ in composition, method of application and level of effectiveness. Bars forte drops for dogs are very popular in veterinary medicine today.
The composition and characteristics of the drug
The Bars product line produces two types of drops for the control of arthropod pests: Bars and Bars Forte. Their distinguishing feature is the dosage (the amount of insecticide). In the Bars forte drops for dogs, the instruction indicates a larger amount of fipronil. There are also Bars drops for puppies.
Drops Bars forte - a highly effective drug for the destruction of blood-sucking insects such as fleas, and ticks or beetle eaters. It is used both for treatment and for prophylactic purposes during periods of greatest activity of insects.
Drops of Bars forte are an insecticaricidal preparation, which includes fipronil, an insect growth regulator and excipients. The impact of the insecticide on the nervous system of the parasite leads to its paralysis, and subsequently to death. The active substance applied to the skin accumulates in the sebaceous glands of the skin without being absorbed into the blood. It acts on parasites, standing out together with the secretion of the sebaceous glands on the surface of the skin.
The growth regulator disrupts the development of the pest (the process of molting, pupation and fledging of the larva). This causes a break in the life cycle of the insect, which provides a long period of protection of the animal.
The tool is available in the form of a liquid solution, which is placed in a tube-pipette. One bottle may contain 3 or 4 pipettes of 1.8 ml, 1.0 ml or 0.5 ml of insecticide. The number of necessary doses is selected taking into account the weight of the pet.
Dogs weighing up to 1 kg need only 4 drops. If the weight of the animal varies from 1 to 5 kg, you will need 1 pipette with a dosage of 1.0 ml. For pets in the weight category up to 10 kg, 1 pipette with a dosage of 1.8 ml is needed. Dogs up to 20 kg should be treated with a double dose, and accordingly 3 pipettes of 1.8 ml each will be needed to process the animal up to 30 kg. For larger dogs, the dosage is selected at the rate of 1 pipette for every 10 kg.
The drug is also suitable. for treating cats against fleas. Animals up to 1 kg will need only 2 drops, weighing up to 3 kg - 6 drops, respectively. More large-sized pets will need 1 pipette with a dosage of 1.0 ml.

I tried a lot drip fundsfaced with a problem like fleas. However, I can call effective only Bars Forte. A really cool tool, at least for my dog it turned out to be just that. The animal is allergic, and many drugs simply did not suit him. As a result, it was necessary to treat the effects of allergies. And after Bars forte, everything went just fine: no fleas, no red spots. The drug is just super, and besides it is convenient to use and relatively inexpensive.

I have been buying drops of Bars forte for my dog for more than 3 years. There were no complaints during this time. But for the last time something went wrong: the animal got irritated in several places, wool began to climb until bald spots formed. In the veterinary clinic, we were told that fake goods can cause such a reaction. I agreed with this argument, because I bought the drug in a place where it was not usual (the price was attracted). Therefore, I advise you to purchase such products in specialized stores.
