It is impossible to buy them in our village, I order everything via the Internet with mail delivery. Neighbors also ask me to order them. Efficiency has been repeatedly confirmed by me and many fellow villagers.

Recently got a spaniel. He is now only a year old and has already faced the first problems - dog ear mites. The poor animal is constantly itchy and nervous. I took him to a veterinary clinic, where the doctor advised me to buy a leopard. According to the instructions, I instilled 3 drops in each ear to him, since he is still small and a large dosage he can not. But there was no effect. Ears continued to itch and turn red even more. After the next appointment with the doctor, a verdict was issued - an allergic reaction to the components of the drug. The veterinarian prescribed another remedy, after which my friend went on the mend.
