Scalibor Protector Dog Collar Repellent 65cm

SCALIBOR PROTECTORBAND 65 CM REPELLENT COLLAR FOR DOGS

Indications

Canine ectoparasites sensitive to deltamethrin: prevention of tick infestations for 6 months; prevention of flea infestations for 4 months; prevention of sandfly bites for 5 months; repellent effect on adult mosquitoes (Culex pipiens pipiens) for 6 months. The repellent effect (anti-feeding) against sandflies also allows reducing the risk of transmission of visceral leishmaniasis in dogs. The product can therefore be considered as part of a prevention program for Leishmania infantum infection. The treatment provides a repellent effect against sandflies (Phlebotomus perniciosus) for 12 months. To achieve complete protection against ticks, fleas, sandflies, and mosquitoes, it is recommended to replace the collar after 4 months from the first application, keeping the collar consistently worn from April to October. Since the product does not have a classic repellent action against ticks, it is possible to observe the presence of ticks even after applying the collar. Parasites die once exposed to the active ingredient present on the dog. The ingestion of toxic amounts leads to hyper-excitation followed by paralysis and death. Consequently, it is unlikely that ticks can complete their blood meal.

Contraindications/Side Effects

Do not use in dogs with known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient. Do not use in puppies under 7 weeks of age. Do not use in cats. Do not use the collar on animals with extensive skin lesions.

Dosing

Use 1 collar per subject; adjust the collar around the animal's neck without tightening it. Cut the excess part, leaving 5 cm from the buckle. The collar should preferably be applied 1 week before animals are introduced into an infested environment, as full activity is achieved after 1 week. It is recommended to treat all dogs present in the same environment. Bathing does not compromise the effectiveness of the collar. The collar can be used in puppies older than 7 weeks.

Interactions

None known.

Adverse Effects

In rare cases (more than 1 but less than 10 animals out of 10,000 animals), local skin reactions (itching, erythema, hair loss) affecting the neck or skin in general have been reported and may be indicative of a general or local hypersensitivity reaction. In very rare cases (less than 1 animal out of 10,000 animals, including isolated reports), behavioral changes (e.g. lethargy or hyper-reactivity) often associated with skin irritation have also been reported. In very rare occasions, gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and hypersalivation have been observed. In very rare cases, neurological problems such as ataxia and muscle tremors have been observed. Symptoms usually subside within 48 hours of collar removal. If any of these symptoms are observed, remove the collar. Treatment is symptomatic as no antidotes are known.

Warnings

In case of marked local irritation or allergic reaction, immediately remove the collar. Special precautions for those administering the product to animals: wash hands with cold water and soap after applying the collar. Do not allow children to play with or put the collar in their mouths. Avoid contact with eyes or mouth. If the collar comes into contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. People with known sensitivity to deltamethrin or other components of the collar should avoid contact with the product. If ocular or skin irritation persists, or if the product is accidentally ingested, seek medical attention immediately, showing the leaflet. Treated dogs should not sleep in contact with people, especially children. Other precautions: although occasional contact with water does not reduce the effectiveness of the collar, it should be removed before a bath or before the dog swims as the active ingredient is harmful to fish and other aquatic organisms. Dogs should not enter water for the first 5 days after applying the collar.
