The tick species covered include Rhipicephalus sanguineus (the Brown Dog Tick - the most prevalent tick species in Indian cities), Ixodes ricinus, Ixodes hexagonus, Ixodes scapularis, Dermacentor variabilis, and Haemaphysalis species. By killing ticks quickly, Vetecto significantly reduces the window for tick-borne disease transmission - a real concern in India given how common Ehrlichiosis and Babesiosis are in dogs.

Fluralaner is effective against Demodex canis mites - the same mites that cause patchy hair loss, thickened skin, and secondary infections. It also treats Sarcoptic mange (Scabies) caused by Sarcoptes scabiei. The dosing for mange treatment is different from flea and tick prevention - your vet will prescribe the appropriate dose and frequency for your dog's specific situation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eEar mites (Otodectes cynotis) - causing dark waxy discharge and persistent head shaking - are also treated by Vetecto.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eThe 12-week protection window means three doses per year instead of twelve, which is considerably easier to maintain consistently.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 24px 0 12px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Are the Possible Side Effects?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0 0 12px 0; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eFluralaner is generally well-tolerated by most dogs.

Giving with food significantly reduces this. These symptoms typically resolve on their own within a day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eBrief lethargy in the 24 hours after administration has been reported in some dogs.

If your dog has had seizures in the past, inform your vet before using Vetecto.

It should always be given with food or immediately after a meal - administration with food improves the absorption of fluralaner and reduces the chance of digestive upset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eThe tablet is palatable - most small dogs will take it willingly as a treat. If your dog is reluctant, hide it in a piece of food they love. Make sure the full tablet is consumed - watch for a few minutes after giving it to confirm it's been swallowed and not spat out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eFor flea and tick prevention, one tablet of Vetecto 250 covers dogs between 4.5 kg and 10 kg for 12 weeks. Weigh your dog before each dose to confirm they still fall in this weight range - dogs at the upper end of the range who gain weight may need to step up to the Vetecto 500 variant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eFor mange treatment, the dosing protocol is different - 0.4 to 0.6 mg\/kg body weight given twice daily for 14 days, then once daily.

Fluralaner then works by blocking GABA-gated and glutamate-gated chloride ion channels in the nervous system of the parasite. These channels are responsible for regulating nerve signals in insects and mites - blocking them causes uncontrolled nerve activity, paralysis, and rapid death.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eThe key difference between isoxazolines like fluralaner and older insecticides is selectivity - fluralaner binds with much higher affinity to invertebrate chloride channels than to mammalian ones. This is why it is lethal to parasites at doses that are safe for dogs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eBecause it works systemically rather than from the coat surface, it cannot be washed off - there's no topical film to degrade with bathing, swimming, or rain.

Ticks are killed within 12 hours - fast enough in most cases to reduce the window for tick-borne disease transmission, since most disease transmission requires a tick to feed for several hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 24px 0 12px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Safety Advice Should You Know Before Using Vetecto 250?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0 0 12px 0; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eThis product is for dogs only.

It contains Fluralaner 250 mg - an isoxazoline-class antiparasitic that works systemically to kill fleas within 8 hours and ticks within 12 hours of biting. It also treats Demodectic and Sarcoptic mange, and ear mite infestations, when dosed as prescribed by a vet for those specific conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 20px 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is Vetecto different from a spot-on like Frontline Plus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 12px 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eSpot-ons are applied to the coat and work from the outside - they can be partially reduced by frequent bathing or thick coats. Vetecto is taken orally and works from the bloodstream - it cannot be washed off, doesn't create an oily application site, and is unaffected by bathing, swimming, or coat thickness. It also lasts 3 months per dose versus 1 month for most spot-ons, meaning fewer doses per year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 20px 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I give Vetecto to my puppy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 12px 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eDo not use on puppies under 6 months of age unless specifically directed by a vet. Puppies younger than 6 months have developing systems that are more sensitive to fluralaner. If your puppy has an active tick or flea problem and is under 6 months old, consult your vet for age-appropriate alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 20px 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes my dog need to be on an empty stomach for Vetecto to work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 12px 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe opposite - always give with food or immediately after a meal. Fluralaner's absorption is significantly better when given with food. Giving on an empty stomach reduces how effectively the drug is absorbed and also increases the chance of digestive upset. A full meal, not just a small treat, gives the best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 20px 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy dog has had seizures in the past.

Seizures and neurological adverse events have been reported in rare cases in dogs with pre-existing seizure disorders or neurological conditions when given isoxazolines. This doesn't mean fluralaner can't be used, but your vet needs to assess the risk-benefit balance for your specific dog before prescribing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 20px 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Vetecto 250 the same as Bravecto?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 12px 0; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThey contain the same active ingredient - Fluralaner - at the same concentration for the same weight range, and work through the same mechanism. Vetecto is manufactured by Vivaldis in India and is typically available at a lower price point than Bravecto, which is manufactured by MSD Animal Health.

Going forward, always give the tablet with a full meal to significantly reduce the chance of vomiting. If vomiting is a recurring problem, your vet may suggest a different format or administration approach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vivaldis Pharmacy","offers":[{"title":"4.5kg - 10kg (1 Tab)","offer_id":46215978713326,"sku":"DPC0006VIVPH","price":940.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/8021\/0861\/files\/vecto250mg1.jpg?v=1741329701","url":"https:\/\/supertails.com\/products\/vivaldis-vetecto-250-fluralaner-chewable-tick-flea-tablet-for-dogs-4-5-to-10-kg","provider":"Supertails","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
