Bio Spot For Dogs and Cats
Bio Spot is a non-prescription pet product that tends to be a little less expensive than
some of the other comprehensive flea control products sold by veterinarians.
As a matter of fact Bio Spot uses similar ingredients to some of these more expensive products.
And since it is not a veterinarian based product it is
often found in farm and garden co-ops and popular pet store chains. However, if the wrong variety is used, it
could be hazardous to your pet.
It is important to note that Biospot for Dogs contains ingredients that are not suitable for cats, so
you never want to give Bio Spot for Dogs to your cat, instead you need to use the Bio Spot variety
made specifically for felines. Some pets have also had adverse reactions to biospot. Even though it is readily
available as a non-prescription product it is still important to visit with your veterinarian as to wether or not
it is suitable for the needs of your specific pet.
Bio Spot For Dogs: The dog variety of BioSpot utilizes the ingredient Permethrin to help control mosquitoes, fleas
and ticks. A similar product, K9 Advantix also contains Permethrin. It is important to
know that some dogs have had serious adverse reactions to the Permethrin insecticide in these products.
For fleas, Bio Spot like Frontline Plus contains (S)-Methoprene to help fight fleas
at all stages of development including the Pupa and Larvae stages too.
Bio Spot For Cats:
Permethrin cannot be used on cats, as a matter of fact it can kill them, so the canine variety of Bio Spot should never be
given to cats. Permethrin is so toxic to cats, that products like Advantix and BioSpot For Dogs that contain
Permethrin should not be used on a dog if there is a chance that a cat may be licking or grooming that specific dog.
As a substitute, Bio Spot for Cats utilizes the ingredient Etofenprox instead of Permethrin
to help control mosquitoes, ticks and fleas. Both Frontline Plus and Bio Spot have (S)-Methoprene for added flea control.
