Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How often should I apply Selarid for my cat?

Ans: Selarid should be applied once every 30 days to ensure continuous protection against parasites. Monthly use is important for preventing heartworm disease and controlling flea infestations effectively. Consistent application helps maintain protection and reduces the risk of reinfestation over time.

Q2: Can Selarid be used on kittens?

Ans: For cats and kittens at least 8 weeks old, Selarid is a safe option. Avoid using this treatment on younger kittens, as its effectiveness and safety remain unproven for pets below that age.

Q3: What parasites does Selarid protect against?

Ans: Selarid provides protection against multiple parasites including fleas, heartworms, ear mites, roundworms, and hookworms. It kills adult fleas, prevents flea eggs from hatching, and helps control both internal and external паразites when used consistently every month.

Q4: Can I bathe my cat after applying Selarid?

Ans: Yes, cats can be bathed or shampooed after applying Selarid. Bathing after 2 hours does not reduce effectiveness against fleas, and bathing after 24 hours does not impact heartworm prevention, ensuring continued protection even with regular grooming routines.

Q5: What should I do if I miss a dose of Selarid?

Ans: Apply the missed dose of Selarid as soon as it comes to mind. After that, stay on your normal monthly schedule. Never give your cat two doses at the same time. If you have any doubts, reach out to your veterinarian for advice on how to keep your pet protected from parasites.
