Vet's Best Flea & Tick Wipes are ultra-soft pre-moistened wipes built on plant oils — peppermint, lemongrass, clove and rosemary leaf — with vitamin E and vitamin C. They clean and deodorise the coat and are handy for the areas a spray is awkward on: around the face and ears, between the toes, under the tail.
Be clear about what they are and are not. In Australia, anything sold to kill or control fleas and ticks has to be registered with the APVMA, and we have not been able to find an APVMA registration for this product. So treat these as grooming wipes, and do not rely on them as your dog's flea or tick control. In paralysis tick country — the east coast strip from north Queensland down through New South Wales into eastern Victoria — a paralysis tick can kill a dog, and the only sensible protection is a registered preventative from your vet plus a daily hands-on tick search.
Supplied as a tub of 50 wipes. For removing a tick you have found, use the Vet's Best Stainless Steel Tick Remover.
Benefits
- Gets to awkward places — face, ears and between the toes, where sprays are unpleasant.
- Plant oils — peppermint, lemongrass, clove and rosemary leaf oil, with vitamin E and vitamin C.
- Cleans and deodorises — a quick freshen-up for a dog that has been outdoors.
- Ultra-soft — large enough to do a small dog in a few wipes.
How to Use
Wipe over the coat, taking care around the eyes. The manufacturer's directions are for pets 12 weeks and older. Keep the tub sealed so the wipes do not dry out. External use only.
