Reviews

However, there are isolated cases (mainly among representatives of small ornamental breeds) of an individual allergic reaction, which often occurs due to the toxic substance Moxidectin that is included in the preparation. Therefore, the drug Inspector, especially for the first time, should be used with caution, monitoring the condition and reaction of the pet.

The Inspector drops have been saving us for more than a year, since there are many "bloodsuckers" in Altai, and they have been active for almost 6 months. We regularly treat the drops every 4 weeks, which helps to avoid unpleasant bites of parasites and not to catch worms.

I bought the Inspector for the first time and dribbled to my beloved York. The effect was terrible: the dog began to itch and torment terribly. I had to run to the clinic, where they put a dropper and treated for another week. Allergy to the substance Moxidectin - such was the diagnosis of doctors.
