Johnson's Veterinary Products is launching a new 6 treatment size pack of its highly successful Fipronil Spot-On flea solution for cats. The new pack will give up to 30 weeks protection, sufficient for the whole of an average summer flea season.

2014 saw the very successful launch of Johnson’s New Fipronil Spot-On (in one treatment and three treatment sizes) to kill fleas and ticks on cats.  Johnson’s are shortly to have available a 6 treatment size, which will give up to 30 weeks protection, sufficient for the whole of an average summer flea season.

Johnson’s Fipronil Spot-on is exclusive to the pet trade and is not supplied to supermarkets, discount stores or cheap internet selling. Therefore it has proved to be popular and extremely well received by Johnson’s pet trade customers. The new 6 treatment 30 week Summer Season pack has been introduced due to customer demand for this larger size.

The active ingredient Fipronil is the same active as the market leader and which currently should only be sold by Veterinary Surgeons and pet stores with SQP qualified staff. However Johnson’s has been granted AVM/GSL status and Fipronil Spot-on is therefore authorised for general sale by all pet stores and other similar GSL/OTC outlets. 

Fipronil Spot-on kills fleas and ticks and is fast acting, showing immediate effect against fleas and each vial gives persistant activity for up to five weeks. Ticks will start to be killed between 24 and 48 hours and when dead, will drop off or can easily be removed. The product is suitable for cats and kittens from eight weeks of age and with a minimum body weight of 1 kg.

Important – to avoid re-infestation, all cats and dogs in the house must be treated and as with all on-animal flea treatment, it is also most important to treat animals baskets, bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets, rugs and soft furnishings, with a Johnson’s Household Fleas Spray or Room Fogger and vacuumed regularly.

The 3 sizes will now be as follows:-

• NEW Code D052   6 Treatment Pack – giving up to 30 weeks protection        RRP £19.55
• Code D051   3 Treatment Pack - giving up to 15 weeks protection        RRP £11.55 
• Code D050  1 Treatment Pack - giving up to 5 weeks protection           RRP £ 4.75
