"Pet owners want fleas killed as quickly as possible to end their dog's suffering," says Dr. Ball. "Oftentimes, the successive feeding activity of fleas on dogs elicits a hypersensitivity skin disorder known as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). Treatment of dogs with Vectra for Dogs & Puppies(TM) kills fleas and may reduce further evidence of FAD."
Pet owners and their dogs have a variety of lifestyles. Differing lifestyles, coupled with the differing parasites endemic to the area of the country, means their vector protection needs may be different. "Vectra for Dogs & Puppies(TM) is the perfect companion to Vectra 3D(R)," says Julia Stephanus, President and CEO of Summit VetPharm. "The Vectra for Dogs and Puppies(TM) is recommended for dogs whose lifestyles, size, breed and geography dictate the need for outstanding flea protection. Vectra 3D(R), our first commercial veterinary product, has a broader spectrum for those dogs whose lifestyle exposes them to fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, lice, mites and sand flies."
Vectra for Dogs & Puppies(TM) dual-action formula includes dinotefuran, a fast-acting, third generation neonicotinoid with a novel mode of action and pyriproxyfen, an insect growth regulator (IGR) that controls and prevents the development at all immature flea stages including eggs, larvae, and pupae. Tested with up to five times the recommended dose, Vectra(R) showed no significant adverse effects.
