Key Health Benefits & Parasite Defence

External parasites like fleas and lice can cause intense itching, fur loss, and significant stress for small animals. Left untreated, heavy infestations can even lead to dangerous conditions such as anemia.

By breaking the cycle of irritation, you prevent your pet from self-mutilating through excessive scratching and biting.

Safe Usage Guidelines & Dosage Instructions

• Preparation: Shake the bottle well before use. Completely remove all food, water, and food bowls from the area before spraying.
• Dosage:
  • Rabbits & Guinea Pigs: 3 to 5 pumps
  • Rats & Other Small Rodents: 1 to 2 pumps
• Application for Rabbits & Guinea Pigs: Comb the coat the wrong way (against the natural lay of the fur) and spray directly into the coat, keeping away from the face.
• Application for Smaller Pets: Do not spray directly onto tiny rodents. Instead, apply 1-2 pumps of the spray onto a soft brush and gently groom it into the animal's coat.

Crucial Safety Warnings

• CAT TOXICITY WARNING: This product contains Permethrin, which is highly toxic and potentially fatal to cats. Extreme caution is advised. Do not allow cats near treated animals until they are completely dry, and store the bottle securely out of feline reach.
• Health Status Restrictions: Do not use on sick or convalescing animals. Do not use during pregnancy or lactation, and do not use on young animals that are still suckling from their mother.
• Product Interactions: Do not use any other parasite control products on your pet during the treatment period.
• Environmental Hazard: Permethrin is extremely harmful to fish and crustaceans. Cover all aquariums and do not contaminate waterways.
• Allergies: Discontinue use immediately and consult a vet if any signs of sensitivity or allergic reaction occur. (Note: While the general dosage includes rodents, please double-check your specific bottle's packaging, as some manufacturer labels strictly advise use only on rabbits and guinea pigs).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this if I have a cat in the house?

You must exercise extreme caution. Permethrin is severely toxic to cats. If you apply this to your rabbit or guinea pig, you must keep your cat completely separated from the treated pet and their enclosure until the spray has entirely dried. If you cannot guarantee separation, consult your vet for a cat-safe alternative.

How do I apply it safely to a tiny hamster?

Because hamsters and gerbils are so small, a direct spray can easily overwhelm them or get into their eyes. Always apply 1 to 2 pumps of the product onto a soft-bristled grooming brush first, and then gently brush it through their fur.

Can I use this at the same time as an anti-parasite spot-on?

No. You must never mix parasite treatments. Using this spray alongside another parasite control product can lead to a dangerous, potentially fatal chemical overdose for your pet.
