Ceva Animal Health has announced the launch of Vectra Felis, a new spot-on flea treatment for cats. 

The new product contains two active ingredients: dinotefuran and pyriproxyfen. The first is an adulticide which Ceva says kills fleas on contact, thereby stopping fleas biting before they die. The second ingredient is an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) which prevents flea reproduction and adult flea emergence, so protecting the cat and its environment from future flea attacks.

According to the company, Vectra Felis ensures that over 95% of fleas are killed within two hours and the effects last for a month.

In addition, Ceva highlights the product's patented applicator, which has an elongated smooth tip for quick and easy application. The company says it also provides accurate dosing and facilitates clean administration as nothing comes out until the tube is squeezed. Kittens can be treated from seven weeks of age (weighing at least 0.6kg).

For further information on Vectra Felis, contact your local Ceva territory manager or call 01494 781510.
