DARO Tick & Flea Value Pack

DARO Tick & Flea Value Pack is a convenient three-product parasite-control kit containing tick and flea shampoo, concentrated dip and insecticidal powder. Each product is formulated with cypermethrin and piperonyl butoxide to control ticks and fleas on approved animals.

The pack provides different treatment formats for pet owners dealing with unwanted external parasites. The shampoo also contains lanolin, special oils and conditioners to help care for the coat during washing.

All three products are labelled for cats and dogs under South Africa’s Act 36 of 1947. However, because they contain cypermethrin, particular care is necessary when treating cats.

Key Features and Benefits

• Three treatments in one pack: Includes shampoo, dip and powder.
• Controls ticks and fleas: Contains cypermethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide.
• Enhanced insecticidal action: Piperonyl butoxide acts as a synergist to improve cypermethrin’s effectiveness.

• Different application formats: Provides options for washing, dipping and powder application.
• South African registered products: Each component carries its own Act 36 of 1947 registration number.

How Does DARO Tick & Flea Value Pack Work?

All three products contain cypermethrin and piperonyl butoxide.

Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that acts on the nervous systems of susceptible ticks and fleas. It interferes with normal nerve signalling, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasites.

Piperonyl butoxide is an insecticide synergist. It interferes with certain enzymes that insects use to break down insecticides, helping enhance cypermethrin’s effectiveness.

The individual products contain different concentrations and formulations, so their application methods and treatment schedules are not interchangeable.

Tick and Flea Control for Dogs

Ticks and fleas are common external parasites that may cause itching, skin irritation and other health problems.

DARO Tick & Flea Value Pack provides three labelled treatment options for controlling these parasites on dogs.

However, using more insecticide does not necessarily provide better protection. Do not use the shampoo, dip and powder together unless the manufacturer’s directions specifically allow the combination.

For owners looking for a weight-specific monthly treatment, Keen Pets also stocks Fiprotec Flea and Tick Treatment.

Another alternative is NexGard Dog, an oral treatment formulated for flea and tick protection in dogs.

Important Information for Cat Owners

The shampoo, dip and powder pictured in DARO Tick & Flea Value Pack all state that they are intended for cats and dogs.

However, all three contain cypermethrin, a pyrethroid insecticide.

Cats are particularly sensitive to certain pyrethroids, and excessive exposure can cause serious neurological poisoning.

Seek veterinary advice before treating a cat with any of these products, particularly kittens, elderly cats, unwell cats or cats already receiving another parasite treatment.

Use only when the exact product is confirmed appropriate for the cat and its age, and follow all labelled instructions.

For cat-specific flea and tick protection, Keen Pets also offers Bravecto Plus for Cats, a weight-specific spot-on treatment.

Managing Fleas in the Home

Treating an animal is only one part of controlling a flea infestation.

Flea eggs, larvae and pupae may also be present in carpets, bedding and other areas where pets spend time.

Regular cleaning and suitable parasite-control measures help reduce the risk of recurring infestations.

Helpful practices include:

• Washing pet bedding regularly.
• Vacuuming carpets, upholstery and resting areas.
• Checking pets for signs of ticks and fleas.
• Using appropriate species-specific parasite treatments.
• Following veterinary advice on ongoing prevention.

For environmental flea control, consider Ultrum Duration Aerosol 350ml, a surface treatment intended for flea control in approved areas.

Ultrum is not an on-animal treatment and contains insecticides that require particular precautions around cats.

Directions for Use

The three products must be used separately according to their own registered instructions.

Before application:

1. Confirm the product is suitable for the animal’s species, age and health.
2. Read the full instructions and safety warnings.
3. Follow the exact quantity, dilution and contact-time requirements.
4. Use appropriate protective equipment.
5. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose and mouth.
6. Prevent accidental ingestion or licking.
7. Avoid combining parasite treatments without veterinary advice.

Important: The correct DARO dip dilution, powder quantity, minimum age and reapplication frequency must be taken from the complete manufacturer labels.

Safety Precautions

• For approved external animal use only.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not exceed the recommended treatment quantity.
• Do not use on animals outside the labelled species and age range.
• Exercise particular caution when treating cats.
• Avoid inhaling insecticide powder or spray mist.
• Prevent accidental ingestion.
• Keep away from drinking water and aquatic environments.
• Do not combine insecticides without veterinary advice.
• Store in the original labelled containers.

Signs of possible pyrethroid poisoning include excessive salivation, twitching, tremors, poor coordination and seizures.

Seek urgent veterinary assistance if these symptoms occur after treatment.

Storage Instructions

Store DARO Tick & Flea Value Pack in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.

Keep all three containers tightly closed, away from food, drinking water, children and animals.
