Selarid Topical Solution for Dogs 40.1–85 lbs
Complete Monthly Parasite Protection
Selarid Topical Solution for Dogs 40.1–85 lbs is a prescription-strength broad-spectrum parasite preventative designed to control fleas, heartworms, ear mites, sarcoptic mange, and American dog ticks. Made with selamectin, the same proven ingredient used in Revolution Topical Solution, Selarid provides the same trusted protection — but at a more affordable price.
This easy-to-apply, once-a-month topical treatment delivers rapid and long-lasting results. It starts killing adult fleas within 36 hours and prevents re-infestation for 30 days. Selarid also disrupts the flea life cycle by halting the development of flea eggs, larvae, and pupae — ensuring long-term relief for your dog and your home.
Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.

Application Instructions:
- Remove the applicator from the pouch using scissors or tear at the notch.
- Hold upright and snap the tip.
- Part the fur at the base of the neck to expose the skin.
- Place tip on skin and squeeze firmly 3–4 times until empty.
- Do not rub into skin. Do not apply to wet or broken skin.
Important: Avoid touching the site until dry. Ensure full dose is applied in one spot.
How Soon Can I Reapply Selarid if My Dog Gets Wet or Licks It Off?
If Selarid is applied correctly and dries fully:
- Bathing after 2 hours won’t affect efficacy
- If your dog licks the application site before it dries, monitor for vomiting or drooling
- Do not reapply Selarid early — even if it seems compromised — without consulting your vet
- Reapplication should only be done under veterinary supervision
What Ingredients Are in Selarid?
- Selamectin (240 mg) – Antiparasitic that interferes with nerve impulses in parasites.
- Inactive ingredients: Isopropyl alcohol, butylated hydroxytoluene – act as solvents and stabilizers.
How Selamectin Works: The Science Behind Selarid
Selamectin, the active ingredient in Selarid, belongs to the macrocyclic lactone class of antiparasitic drugs. It works by:
- Binding to chloride ion channels in parasites’ nerve and muscle cells
- Disrupting nerve signals, causing paralysis and death
- Targeting parasites like heartworm larvae, fleas, ticks, mites, and mange-causing mites
This mode of action is parasite-specific, meaning it doesn’t affect mammals, making it safe for pets when used as directed.
What Are the Possible Side Effects of Selarid?
Side effects are rare but may include:
- Localized hair loss or redness at application site.
- Gastrointestinal issues like vomiting, diarrhea (with or without blood).
- Lethargy, anorexia, salivation, or tremors in very rare cases.
- Rare reports of seizures or death in highly sensitive dogs.
Discontinue use and consult a veterinarian if severe symptoms occur.
What Warnings Should You Know About Selarid?
- For topical use only. Do not ingest.
- Do not apply to wet, broken, or irritated skin.
- Keep away from children and wash hands after handling.
- Use only on dogs over 6 weeks of age.
- Consult your vet before use with other medications.
Is Selarid the Right Flea and Heartworm Preventative for My Dog?
Choosing the right parasite control depends on your dog's age, weight, lifestyle, and exposure risk. Selarid is an excellent fit for:
- Dogs 6 weeks or older and weighing between 40.1–85 lbs
- Dogs who live in multi-pet households (safe around cats)
- Dogs who need broad parasite protection from fleas, heartworm, ticks, and mites
- Pet parents looking for a cost-effective alternative to Revolution
- Owners who prefer a monthly, topical application over oral tablets
If your dog is frequently outdoors or interacts with other animals, a monthly product like Selarid is crucial for year-round protection.
How Should Selarid Be Stored?
- Store at temperatures below 86°F (30°C).
- Keep in original packaging away from moisture and sunlight.
