Last year, a husky dog ​​appeared in our family. After a trip with the dog to the village, they found a tick behind his ear. At first they were very scared, but then they decided to ask their friends what to do in this case. We were advised to buy a drop of Leopard and drop it directly on the parasite. So did. After some time, he himself unhooked from the dog. Then he treated all of Jack with these drops. More cases of tick bites were not.

Every year in the summer I leave the city to the country and take my cat Rus with me. He walks around the dacha settlement and is naturally in danger of catching a tick. Therefore, before each summer season, I buy Bars drops for cats and process them to Russia once a month. There were no problems with parasites. I am calm about the health of my furry family member.
