What is Biocanina Fiprodog Combo used for?
Fiprodog Combo, developed by Biocanina, is an external antiparasitic treatment containing fipronil and S-methoprene. S-methoprene, which acts as a growth regulator, has ovicidal and larvicidal effects, effectively preventing the proliferation of fleas in the environment by neutralizing their eggs, larvae, and pupae for up to eight weeks after application to the dog.
This product is specifically designed for dogs as young as eight weeks old and weighing at least two kilograms. It is also safe for pregnant and nursing dogs, offering comprehensive protection tailored to their specific needs. Here are the benefits and uses of Fiprodog Combo in detail:
- Prevention and treatment of flea infestations: Fiprodog Combo provides continuous protection against fleas for a period of eight weeks, allowing it to both treat current infestations and prevent reinfestations.
- Prevention and treatment of tick infestations: The product is effective against ticks for up to four weeks, thanks to its robust acaricidal activity.
- Environmental flea control: S-methoprene helps prevent flea reproduction by inhibiting the development of their eggs, larvae, and pupae, thereby contributing to a healthier environment for the pet and its family.
- Treatment of Chewing Louse Infestations: Fiprodog Combo also treats chewing louse infestations, providing a comprehensive solution against various external parasites.
- Management of Flea Bite Allergy Dermatitis (FBAD): The medication can be incorporated into an FBAD management program, following a diagnosis confirmed by a veterinarian, thereby improving the quality of life for susceptible dogs.
Fiprodog Combo Spot-On is specially formulated for dogs. It treats and prevents mixed infestations of fleas and ticks, as well as cheeseworms, providing long-lasting protection through:
- Persistent insecticidal activity that protects against fleas for eight weeks.
- Inhibition of the development of immature flea stages, which acts on eggs, larvae, and pupae for eight weeks, preventing their growth and reproduction in the environment.
- Acaricidal activity against several tick species (Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor variabilis, Dermacentor reticulatus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus), lasting up to four weeks.
In summary, Biocanina’s Fiprodog Combo is a comprehensive and effective solution for managing external parasites in dogs, contributing to the animal’s overall health and the owners’ peace of mind. This product addresses a wide range of parasite control needs, ensuring long-lasting and safe protection for dogs and their environment.

For small dogs, part the fur between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible, and squeeze the entire contents of the pipette directly onto the skin.
If the dog weighs more than 10 kilograms, apply the solution at four points along the animal’s back, from between its shoulders to the base of its tail.
