Answers to frequently asked questions

Is Inspector suitable for treating sarcoptic mange?

Yes, due to the active substance, subcutaneous mites are destroyed. Treat the dog twice with an interval of 1-1.5 weeks.

Which form of the drug should I choose: drops, collar or spray?

Any variety of Inspector will protect the dog from ectoparasites. Keep in mind that the spray is more convenient to use if you have several animals or need to additionally treat beds, furniture, and carpets. It is advisable to use a collar as an additional means of protection against insects.

How long should you not bathe your pet?

The ban is imposed for 4 days before and after treatment. Avoid swimming in ponds and in the bathroom (just water or soap). Make sure that the dog does not run through puddles or get caught in the rain.

Can pregnant dogs be treated with Inspector?

No negative effects on bitches or fetuses have been identified during pregnancy. However, like any drug, Inspector is used only if the potential harm from inaction outweighs the risk of side effects. For dogs that are whelping, veterinary supervision is required.

Is the Inspector dangerous to people?

The medicine is not dangerous for humans. However, when processing an animal, the following general rules are followed:

• exclude smoking, eating and drinking;
• after manipulation, wash your hands thoroughly with soap up to the elbows;
• for 2-3 days, exclude contact between children and the pet;
• if the solution accidentally gets on mucous membranes or skin, rinse them with running water;
• if you are allergic to the active ingredients, entrust the antiparasitic treatment to another person;
• If you develop allergic reactions or accidentally ingest the drug, contact the clinic, taking with you the instructions to the Inspector.

How the drug works

The active substances of the drops affect the nervous system of parasites. They block receptors and also disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses throughout the body, which leads to death due to paralysis 8 hours after application. In addition to its effect on existing internal or external parasites, Inspector Total provides protection for the dog for 14 days from the date of treatment. Two protective drop methods:

1. Myoxidectin is absorbed into the animal’s circulatory system, so an attempt to bite leads to the death of the parasite.
2. Fipronil remains only on the skin and fur; it has a local (contact) preventive effect.

Inspector Total is fatal only to arthropods; the active substances are completely safe for dogs. According to laboratory studies, the drug does not affect the immune system and fetal development in pregnant bitches and does not cause irritation, itching or redness of the skin.

Please note that the product is toxic to fish and bees. For effective protection, it is recommended to alternate the Inspector spray with other drugs to avoid the development of pest resistance to toxins.

Reviews of the drug from dog breeders

Evgenia, Surgut. Every summer we go with the whole family to the dacha. Our Linda, although she is a titled beauty and a participant in many exhibitions, also loves this period. After all, it is at the dacha that she can run freely around the area near the house. The only downside is that she inevitably meets yard dogs, who happily share their “property” with her - fleas. The nearest store had only one flea drug - Inspector. You had to take it at your own risk without consulting a doctor. The product turned out to be excellent. The fleas were removed and we were able to sleep peacefully until the end of summer, knowing that our Lindochka was under reliable protection.

Tamara, Birobidzhan. Ice is a fairly active pet who lives in our apartment. He is one of the large dog breeds that needs constant movement - the Hungarian Kuvasz. Therefore, three times a day we take him to an enclosure specially designated for walking, where he meets other brothers. Naturally, from time to time we bring home fleas, and sometimes ticks. Inspector was not the first drug that we tried in the fight against parasites. But it was he who took pride of place in Ice’s first aid kit. The treatment is easy, the drug is reasonably priced, and the effectiveness is high. We now recommend this product to all our friends and neighbors.

Dog owners speak positively about the drug Inspector.

Mikhail, Barnaul. Since we live in Siberia, we have a pressing problem with seasonal insects such as mosquitoes and midges. We are not protected from traditional parasites - fleas and ticks. In view of this, we needed a drug that would become a universal defense for Bach. It was scary to conduct tests on our own pet, so we turned to a specialist with this problem, who advised us to use the Inspector. Surprisingly, this product exceeded our expectations. Firstly, it was extremely easy to use, and secondly, it is truly effective against most known parasites found in dogs.

Instructions for use

Inspector Total is used by drip application to the skin. To process or treat, you need to carefully cut off the tip of the pipette and apply the entire volume of the medicine to the animal’s withers. Do not apply the drug to other parts of the body, as the dog may lick off the remaining drops. Recommendations for use:

• the skin should be dry and intact, without visible mechanical injuries;
• the procedure can be carried out no earlier than 48 hours after bathing or washing;
• The drug can be applied to the withers, neck or base of the skull;
• for large pets, Inspector can be applied to several areas for better absorption of the components of the composition (neck, area along the spinal column);
• It is allowed to use only a hermetically sealed pipette; the use of expired or defective product is not allowed.

For dogs of long-haired breeds, the treatment procedure is best carried out with an assistant - one person with a comb lifts the hair, and the second at this moment applies drops. This allows you to speed up the absorption process of the substance.

Contraindications and side effects

Treatment with Inspector drops is not recommended in the following cases:

• hypersensitivity or intolerance to the components of the composition;
• less than 7 weeks old (except Inspector Mini);
• treatment with other antiparasitic drugs;
• recovery period after infectious diseases;
• recovery after childbirth.

Before application, consultation with a specialist is recommended to avoid unpleasant complications. If the rules of use are followed, side effects are rare. You should immediately contact a veterinarian if the following symptoms appear after treatment:

• increased salivation;
• trembling of limbs, loss of consciousness;
• vomit;
• skin manifestations - itching, redness.

Before starting the procedure, it is important to determine the exact volume of drops depending on the dog’s weight. An overdose of fipronil can result in unpleasant consequences.

Advantages and disadvantages

This drug has a number of irrefutable advantages:

• High performance compared to similar insecticides. Treatment of the animal is carried out at home in a few minutes.
• It eliminates the need for pets to wear anti-flea collars.
• With the use of Inspector drops, the procedures of regular bathing with the use of antiparasitic detergents and prolonged combing of parasites from the fur become unnecessary.
• The drug can not only destroy insects in the body of cats, but also prevent new infections of animals with parasites.
• This drug is safer than sprays, which an animal can lick off if applied carelessly to its fur.
• The product is not dangerous to humans if he follows the above rules of protection.

The drug Inspector does not pose a danger to cats and humans if the rules of protection are followed.

At the same time, the Inspector contains strong insecticides, so these drops should be used with the permission of a veterinarian to avoid side effects.

This product does not kill flea faces because they exist separately from adult fleas and can only be killed if they penetrate the treated cat's fur. To destroy fleas along with larvae, you need to disinfect the entire house, not forgetting the places where the cat likes to sleep.

Fortunately, my cat has not yet been seriously attacked by blood-sucking parasites. The cat loves to walk down the street with his brothers. I bought flea collars for my previous cats, but they rubbed the cats’ necks. I had never heard of the drug Inspector for cats before, but I liked its wide spectrum of action, ease of use and effectiveness. If necessary, I will definitely use it.

Pros and cons of the drug

Inspector drops for treating dogs are very popular in the Russian and European markets. Advantages of this drug:

• complex effect;
• possibility of treatment and prevention;
• impact on external and internal parasites;
• ease of use;
• safety for dogs' health;
• long-term protective effect.

In addition, there is a variety of release forms; the volume of the drug can be selected for a pet of almost any weight. The disadvantages include the high cost and the presence of fipronil in the composition, to which dogs are often intolerant and allergic. Also, treatment for worms requires taking a specialized drug.

Side effects

If the rules of use and recommended doses are followed, no negative reactions are observed. However, if the body is individually intolerant to the constituent components of the drug, the following manifestations are possible:

• redness may occur in areas where insecticidal drops are applied;
• severe itching;
• manifestation of allergic reactions.

If these symptoms appear, the Inspector drops should be washed off with running water and the dog should be given an antihistamine. If the condition worsens, you should immediately consult a veterinarian.

Inspector drops for dogs, reviews confirm this, have found wide use among consumers.

Reviews from veterinarians

Ivan N.

“Inspector is a good prophylactic with fipronil in its composition. Suitable for both routine treatment against parasites and active treatment. It is important for owners to correctly calculate the dosage, because it depends on the weight of the pet.”

Nadezhda S.

“I often appoint an Inspector for seasonal antiparasitic treatment of dogs. The product is inexpensive and easy to use. Can be used for any breed."

Compound

Many breeders have long been using drops with insectoacaricidal and repellent effects. They are easy to use and are also capable of completely protecting the animal from the “encroachments” of parasites for a relatively long period of time. But each product has its own characteristics that must be taken into account when using the drug.

The composition of many products of this kind is relatively the same. In particular, in this case the main active ingredient is fipronil . This is a very effective and safe substance for warm-blooded animals.

In addition to it, the medicine also contains auxiliary components:

• Moxidectin. This is another insecticide that enhances and complements the effect of the previous substance. It acts not only on ectoparasites, but also on some nematodes (roundworms).

• Polyethylene glycol and butylated hydroxyl isole.

• Diethylene glycol ether . This component is responsible for the volatility of the drug and its rapid distribution throughout the coat of the treated animal.

The appearance of the drop is a transparent liquid of a yellowish or golden-yellowish color, oily in appearance and to the touch. It has a rather specific, pungent and unpleasant odor.

Owner reviews

Julia K.

“In the summer we spend a lot of time in the forest, so we always treat our dog for ticks. We have been using Inspector drops for two seasons now. I’m satisfied with the cost and quality, I’ve never had a bite yet.”

Yuri T.

“Inspector drops for fleas and ticks were recommended by a veterinarian at a routine appointment. It’s convenient that the drug has a complex effect; you don’t need to wear an additional anti-parasite collar.”

conclusions

Inspector is a good antiparasitic agent. In addition, this is one of the cheapest combination drugs that gets rid of ectoparasites and nematodes in one fell swoop. Other means cost 2-3 times more (Lawyer, Frontline, etc.).

Feel free to use the medication if you have collie, sheltie, bobtail or related dogs: Inspector C is safe for these animals.

Some of my colleagues have noticed a decrease in efficiency lately. However, I have not observed this. And ticks found on a pet’s body after a walk through the thickets of parks and forests are a common occurrence. No product will protect you from these reptiles 100%. It’s just that instead of a couple of dozen insects, you will shoot 2-3 pieces.

If you are afraid that the combined remedy will not have the desired effect, use other antiparasitic drops (Bars, Insectal, Celandine, BlochNet) together with anthelmintic tablets (Drontal, Kanikvantel, Alben S, Pratel).

Analogs

There are many drugs available on the veterinary market for treating dogs against parasites. The most popular brands in the form of drops that can be used as an analogue of the Inspector:

Helminthal

Frontline

Advocate

Stronghold

Rolf 3D

Consultation with your veterinarian is recommended to determine the most appropriate antiparasitic drug for your dog.

How many times should I use the drug?

The rules for applying the drug “Inspector” (drops for dogs) were presented above. The instructions, however, also give instructions on how often it is necessary to treat the animal against fleas, lice and ticks.

To rid an animal of parasites, it is enough to apply the drops just once. However, if you want to prevent re-infection, then treatment should be carried out every 4-6 weeks during the entire period of activity of blood-sucking parasites.

The drug begins to act after 24 hours. Therefore, if you decide to walk your animal in places where there is a large concentration of ticks, then the treatment should be carried out a day before the planned walk.

To destroy an attached tick, you need to apply 1 drop of the drug to the parasite itself and the place to which it has attached. It should fall off within 20 minutes. If this does not happen, then after the specified time has passed, carefully remove the tick using tweezers and destroy it.
