Fleaway Plus Spot-On for Large Dogs is a spot-on treatment for fleas, ticks and biting lice in dogs weighing over 20kg and up to 40kg. It is a licensed companion animal medicine that can be bought without a vet's prescription.
It combines two active ingredients. Fipronil is a broad spectrum insecticide that disrupts the central nervous system of fleas, ticks and lice. (S)-methoprene is an insect growth regulator that kills flea eggs on the dog and stops larvae and pupae from developing, which helps prevent flea infestations in the home.
It kills fleas within 24 hours and ticks and lice within 48 hours. One pipette keeps killing new fleas for up to 8 weeks and kills ticks for up to 4 weeks. It also stops flea eggs, larvae and pupae from developing for up to 8 weeks. The solution is applied from a pipette to the skin at the back of the neck.
