Vectra 3D protects your pets against parasites and pathogens. Vectra 3D uses a three pronged approach to keep your pet safe from disease carrying agents by utilizing Dinotefuran, Permethrin and Pyriproxyfen. The Dinotefuran is an insecticide that functions by causing continuous stimulation of the nervous system of insects upon first contact. This stimulation leads to tremors and quick deaths in insects as they land on your dog. Permethrin is an adulticide and works to repel vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks and sand flies by causing them to lose control of their nervous system. Lastly, Pyripoxyfen, an insect growth regulator, works to prevent development of fleas in their early stages. This keeps them as eggs, larvae and pupae until the other active ingredients functionally decimate them.Vectra 3D has been clinically shown to provide fast-acting protection against multiple pests lasting up to one month. In addition to repelling mosquitoes, ticks, and sand flies, Vectra 3D repels and kills fleas, lice, and mites quickly and effectively. In fact, it has been shown to reduce the number of ticks in only 24-hours and begins killing fleas within the first two hours of use.Vectra 3D remains effective after bathing and it can be used on dogs and puppies older than 7 weeks. Vectra 3D comes in 4 dosing sizes based on your dog’s body weight. The product is available for all weights in packs of 3-doses and packs of 6-doses. Vectra 3D Purple for Dogs & Puppies is intended for dogs between 56 and 95 pounds and this particular package comes with 3 doses. For heavier dogs, use Vetcra 3D Red and for lighter dogs use Vectra 3D Green or Vectra 3D Blue. Vectra 3D is also available for Cats and Kittens.

The other great thing, this product repels flies and mosquitoes
This is the flea product our vet recommends. It truly works. I had a flea problem start last year...noticed some on the dogs...as I had forgotten to apply by two weeks and we had gone on a long walk where other dogs had been. I put it on the dogs, put them in their sleeping crates for an hour while I washed everything and vacuumed. In that hour all the fleas were dead!The other great thing, this product repels flies and mosquitoes. Because it repels mosquitoes, heart worm is less of an issue! We went on a trip to Oregon with the dogs, the vet was concerned about if we should have temporary doses of hear worm meds while there. Then he remembered they are on Vectra...he said that it wasn't a problem then. Since we don't live in a heart worm area they don't have to have meds.

Works great for my Service Dog!
I tried 8 different types of flea and tick treatments this last summer for my German Shepard service dog none worked. I got a sample of Vectra 3D from my veterinarian and it worked been purchasing this product for 6 months now. Have learned when you put it on the back of the neck run just a little straight down the back to the tail and no baths for 2 day for it to work and last longer.My vet told me every pet reacts differently to every product and same for fleas and ticks in different areas.. All you can do is keep trying until you find what works best for your pet. Check your vet they may have cheap or free samples to try if this does not work for your pet.

Effective!
I apply this monthly on my 60+ pound bully/lab mix. It is very effective! We live in an area with a lot of farmland, animals, and waterways, and there are plenty of bugs to go around. This stuff acts like a force field keeping fleas, ticks, and whatever other creatures away. One note, though: it seems to have an oil base, which can get a little messy sometimes. Also, our groomer told me to wait a few days after his bath before applying it because it could irritate his skin if his natural oils have not had a chance to build up again. Heeding that advice, I have been using this on him for three years with no issues!

excellent applicator
The applicator makes this product definitely stand out. We have a long haired dog with a VERY thick fur coat and have had problems getting other flea and tick medication all the way down to the skin. She did not get fleas or ticks even after some adventures in the woods and deep grasses so I trust the product. Having an easier to use applicator with a long neck is a huge plus. We will be buying this again when we run out.

It worked on my German Shepherd!
I have bought different flea and tick medicine for my dog and nothing would work, finally ordered this product and it WORKS! No problems! Easy to use.

Hope it works
I'm hoping it works because my dog hates it. She isn't herself for a few hours after application. I'm looking for something that she doesn't react to.
