The composition of the drug includes several active substances:

1. Fipronil is the main active ingredients of the drug. His tasks include blocking parasite receptors, disruption of their nervous system, which further provokes paralysis and death of ticks.

Reviews

Last year, a husky dog ​​appeared in our family. After a trip with a dog to the village, they found a tick behind his ear. At first they were very scared, but then decided to ask friends what to do in this case. We were advised to buy Bars drops and drip directly onto the parasite. So they did. After some time, he himself unhooked the dog. Then they treated all of Jack with these drops. There were no more tick bite cases.

I have a setter dog. Very active dog Moby. He constantly runs without a leash through the park. To protect him from ticks, I decided to look for preparations for dogs in the Internet. After I read the positive reviews about the tool Bars from ticks for dogs, I decided to try the spray. I apply it for the second summer in a row. Not a single tick was found on Moby. I recommend that all dog lovers buy Bars.

Every year for the summer, I leave the city for a summer house and take my cat Rus with me. He walks around the country house and is naturally in danger of catching a tick. Therefore, before every summer season, I buy drops of Bars for cats and they treat Russia once a month. There were no problems with parasites. I am calm about the health of my furry family member. Before that I tried different tick remedies for catsbut Bars is not inferior in efficiency to imported analogues, and the price is much lower.
