How Selehold Spot-on for Cats and Dogs Works

Selehold spot-on for cats and dogs contains selamectin. Selamectin acts on the nervous system of susceptible parasites.

After application to the skin:

• The product spreads over the coat and skin surface

• Parasites such as fleas are exposed as they bite or contact the animal

• Internal parasites are targeted once selamectin is absorbed and distributed

Selamectin is selective for parasites at the prescribed dose, but must only be used under veterinary supervision. Your vet may advise other products if your pet is at risk from parasites not covered by Selehold.

When Vets May Prescribe Selehold Spot-on

Your vet may prescribe Selehold spot-on for cats and dogs when:

• Your pet has a current flea problem

• Ongoing flea control and worming are required

• A monthly spot-on is preferred over oral tablets

• Parasites covered by selamectin are a concern in your area or household

They will weigh your pet and ask about other cats and dogs in the home. Usually, all in-contact pets need appropriate parasite cover to prevent reinfestation.

How to Apply Selehold Spot-on for Cats and Dogs

Always follow the leaflet and your vet’s instructions. General steps:

• Weigh your pet to confirm the correct Selehold strength

• Remove one pipette from the foil and hold it upright

• Twist or snap off the cap as shown in the leaflet

• Part the fur at the back of the neck or between the shoulder blades

• Place the pipette tip directly on the skin

• Squeeze out the entire contents in one place (or as advised for larger dogs)

Do not massage the liquid in. Allow the area to dry naturally.

Important points:

• Apply only to healthy, unbroken skin

• Do not bathe or shampoo your pet within the time period given in the leaflet after treatment

• Prevent other pets from licking the application site until it is dry

Never split a pipette between animals and never use a dog product on a cat.
