Flea Control And Prevention

• NEOVET kills adult and larval fleas within 20 minutes of contact by absorption via the flea intersegmental membranes
• Stops fleas from feeding in 3-5 minutes
• Fleas are not required to bite the animal to receive a lethal dose
• The successive feeding activity of fleas on pets may elicit a hypersensitivity skin disorder known as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD)
• Treatment of pets with NEOVET rapidly kills fleas and reduces the incidence of this condition
• NEOVET may be used as the only product for flea control as it breaks the life cycle and kills fleas emerging from the environment to reinfest the pets
• More rapid resolution of heavy environmental infestations may be obtained by additional environmental control measures using a suitable registered product
• It is recommended that all pets in the same environment should be protected by NEOVET

Heartworm Prevention

• Treatment with NEOVET should start 1 month before the first exposure to mosquitoes
• The product must be applied at one month intervals during the time of the year when mosquitoes (which carry and transmit the heartworm larvae) are present
• In many areas of Australia, continuous year-round heartworm prevention is recommended
• To establish a routine, it is recommended that the same day or date by used each month to administer NEOVET
• When replacing another heartworm preventative product, the first treatment with NEOVET must be given within one month of the last dose of the previous product

Treatment and Control of Sarcoptic Mange (Dogs Only)

• NEOVET for dogs eliminates 100% of sarcoptic mites ( Sarcoptes scabiei ) after a single dose
• A second dose of NEOVET a month later will result in continued improvement of the clinical signs associated with sarcoptic mange
• Monthly application will control any subsequent sarcoptic mite infestation
