Effiprois a topical treatment that controls fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and chewing lice in dogs and cats. External parasites such as kirputjapunkit are not only irritating to your pet, but can transmit potentially dangerous diseases such as bartonellosis, Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis.
Effipro uses the active ingredient Fipronil to kill mosquitoes and chewing lice infestations, and control fleas by eliminating adult fleas before they can lay eggs. Effipro also kills all stages of brown dog ticks, American dog ticks, Lone Star ticks, and deer ticks.
