Beaphar Fly Guard Spray for Rabbits & Guinea Pigs 🐇 | Fly Strike Prevention & Treatment | 75ml

Vet-Strength Protection Against Fly Strike for Rabbits & Guinea Pigs

Beaphar Fly Guard Spray is a vet-strength ivermectin treatment and preventative spray designed to protect rabbits and guinea pigs from the serious and potentially fatal risk of blow fly strike. Easy to apply and highly effective, one treatment provides up to 3 months of protection, helping keep your pet safe during the warmer months when flies are most active.

Fly strike occurs when blow flies are attracted to soiled fur or poor hutch hygiene and lay eggs on the animal. These eggs quickly hatch into maggots, causing severe tissue damage and often life-threatening illness if left untreated.

Beaphar Fly Guard offers a simple, affordable, and effective way to help prevent and treat fly strike before it becomes dangerous.
