Dogs are very mobile animals, and unlike other pets, they spend a lot of time outdoors. That is why they are more susceptible to attack by various parasites. Drops from Vektra 3D ticks reliably protect pets not only from ticks, but also from many other pests.
The composition of the drug
Vectra 3D is an insecticide and acaricidal drug intended for dog protection from diseases spread by ectoparasites: ixodid ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, lice. It also works as a repellent, deterring blood-sucking pests and preventing them from biting. The composition of the drops includes three active substances:
- Dinotefuron is a neurotoxin that acts on the receptors of the nervous system of ectoparasite, thereby leading to his death. It belongs to the class of neonicotinoids.
- Permethrin is a well-known pyrethroid often used in insecticidal drugs. It blocks the nerve impulses of parasites, which subsequently leads to paralysis and death.
- Piriproxyphene is a pseudo-hormone that regulates the development of insects. It disrupts the life cycle of the development of parasites in stages from the egg to the imago and prevents their reproduction on the skin of the pet.
Important!
Vectra 3D drops from ticks can not be used on cats and other pets. They are designed specifically for dogs.
The advantage of these drops is that they tend to accumulate in the skin and sebaceous glands of the dog. This allows them to protect for a long time from tick bites and possible virus infections. According to the degree of impact, drops from ticks for dogs of Vectra belong to hazard class 3, which is a moderately dangerous level.
Dosage and administration
Tick drops are intended for use on dogs and are packaged in pipettes of various sizes. Each embodiment corresponds to a specific dog weight. The instruction for drops from Vektra 3D ticks provides information on the correct ratio of pipette volume to dog weight.
Dog weight kg | Pipette volume, ml, average price per package with three pipettes, rub. |
---|---|
1,5 – 4 | 0,8 – 1370 |
4,1 – 10 | 1,6 – 1550 |
10,1 – 25 | 3,6 – 1640 |
25,1 – 40 | 4,7 – 1770 |
40,1 – 65 | 8,0 – 2200 |
On a note!
For small dog breeds weighing up to 4 kg, a single application is sufficient. Medium and large animals are recommended to apply the product in 2-3 places not accessible for licking the pet.
Before use, be sure to read the instructions and find out the exact weight of the pet. A pipette of the appropriate volume must be printed by piercing the membrane. Apply on dry skin at the withers of the dog or on the back. After application, it is not recommended to wash the pet for 48 hours.
The complex composition of the drug reliably protects the four-legged friend from ectoparasites 30 days from the date of use. It also has a healing effect on previous bites of insects or arthropods. After a month, you can reapply the drug, observing the previous dosage. In order for the treatment to be more effective, the same day you should wash or replace the litter, towel, soft toys from the fabric, where parasites can be.
Contraindications to the use of the drug
Vectra 3D tick drops are not recommended for use:
- puppies under the age of 2 months;
- pregnant and lactating bitches;
- sick animals, or those who have recently suffered a disease;
- older dogs over 10 years old;

If there is a serious need to protect a family pet from ticks, but it belongs to a risk group, you need to consult a veterinarian. The specialist will evaluate the condition of the fluffy patient and prescribe a dose that is safe for his health. In case of reddening of the skin after applying the remedy for ticks or overdose, you must thoroughly wash the animal with a special shampoo and show it to the veterinarian.

Our Trixie Shepherd Dog recently needed help. An ixoid bloodsucker was found on the neck. After this incident, she did not begin to risk her pet's health; she acquired a Vectra drug from parasites in a veterinary clinic. Now we can walk in any park without fear of meeting with ticks.
