Special warnings for each target species:
Parasites need to start feeding on the host to become exposed to lotilaner; therefore, the risk of the transmission of parasite borne diseases cannot be completely excluded.
The possibility that other animals in the same household can be a source of re-infection with fleas should be considered, and these should be treated as necessary with an appropriate product.
All stages of fleas can infest the dog’s bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets and soft furnishings. In case of massive flea infestation and at the beginning of the control measures, these areas should be treated with a suitable environmental product and then vacuumed regularly.
