Special Warnings
Parasites must begin feeding on a host in order to come into contact with lotilaner; therefore, the risk of diseases transmitted by these parasites cannot be completely ruled out.Consider the possibility that other animals living in the same household may be a source of reinfestation with fleas, and treat them with an appropriate product if necessary.All stages of flea development can be found in bedding and in places where the dog regularly rests, such as carpets and upholstered furniture.In the event of a massive flea infestation and at the beginning of the control process, appropriate products intended for use in the environment should be applied to these areas, and these areas should then be vacuumed regularly.
Special precautions regarding safe use in target animal species:
All data on safety and efficacy were obtained from studies involving dogs and puppies 8 weeks of age and older and weighing 1.3 kg or more.
Due to a lack of available data, consult your veterinarian before treating puppies younger than 8 weeks or dogs weighing less than 1.3 kg.
