Latest Addition To Norbrook Is A Fipronil Spot-on Solution For Cats And Dogs

The latest addition to Norbrook Laboratories Ltd’s pet health range is a fipronil spot-on solution for cats and dogs. Pestigon offers a fast-acting and long-lasting treatment for cats and dogs suffering from flea and tick irritations. The new product will have an immediate effect against flea infestations and will kill ticks within the first 24 – 48 hours of application. “Fipronil is a tried and tested ingredient with proven efficacy against fleas and ticks,” explains Rebekah Dudek, Norbrook Veterinary Advisor. “Pestigon provides a fast-acting treatment whose effectiveness will continue against new infestations of fleas for up to 58 days on dogs and 37 days in cats and against ticks for up to 30 days in dogs and 21 days in cats.” To coincide with the launch of Pestigon, Norbrook has rebranded its Permaguard household spray which is now available with 12 month protection. “The total life cycle of a flea can last from a couple of weeks to several months. Only adult fleas live on cats or dogs while the eggs, larvae and pupae can be found around the house in carpet, furniture, bedding etc for up to a year or more,” adds Ms Dudek. “It is therefore crucial that pet owners treat the household to break the life cycle and ensure effective and lasting flea control. Pestigon and Permaguard together will give pet owners a complete treatment.” Pestigon range offers 5 alternatives for cats and dogs depending on size and comes with easy-to-use and colour co-ordinated pipettes available in packs of 3, 6 and 24 to allow for single or multiple pipette dispensing. Norbrook’s Small Animal Brand Manager, Michelle Jones explains more: “Pestigon is licensed as a POM-V product and will be sold exclusively through veterinary practices. We have produced a range of marketing materials for veterinary practices to help them offer support on flea and tick control in the home to their customers.” Orders for Pestigon and Permaguard can be placed through your Norbrook representative now.
