What is Tick-Puss 2.5 mg Biocanina Spray 250 ml used for?
Tick-Puss 2.5 mg Biocanina 250 ml is formulated with fipronil; this anti-flea topical spray is specifically designed for dogs and cats and provides up to 3 months of protection. Fipronil is an insecticide and acaricide belonging to the phenylpyrazole family. It works by inhibiting the GABA complex, binding to the chloride channel, and thereby blocking the pre- and post-synaptic passage of chloride ions through the cell membrane. This results in uncontrolled activity of the central nervous system and the death of insects or mites. The insecticidal efficacy against new infestations by adult fleas lasts up to 6 weeks in cats and up to 3 months in dogs, depending on the environmental conditions. The product’s acaricidal efficacy lasts for 4 weeks against ticks, depending on the environmental infestation pressure.
The key active ingredient in Biocanina Tick-Puss is fipronil. It is a powerful insecticide and acaricide that works by disrupting the nervous system of the targeted parasites. Fipronil is known for its effectiveness in eliminating ticks and fleas, as well as preventing their return.
This product comes in spray form, making it convenient to use. The spray allows for precise and even application of the product to your pet’s coat. Additionally, it’s easier to reach hard-to-reach areas, such as the neck, head, and tail, thanks to the spray.
Biocanina Tick-Puss offers long-lasting protection against ticks and fleas. A single application can provide protection for up to several weeks, depending on environmental conditions and your pet’s level of exposure to parasites.
This spray is suitable for both dogs and cats, making it a versatile choice for households with multiple pets. You can use it with confidence to protect all your four-legged friends from parasites.

How do you use this flea spray?
Route of administration: Manual spray bottle for external use only.
To moisten the coat down to the skin, apply 3 to 6 ml per kg of body weight (equivalent to 7.5 to 15 mg of fipronil per kg of body weight), depending on coat length.
This dosage can be achieved by applying 6 to 12 sprays per kg of body weight. Depending on coat length:
- The spray nozzle on the 250-ml package dispenses 1.5 ml per spray. It is sufficient to treat a 20-kg dog 2 to 4 times.
Spray the product over the animal’s entire coat from a distance of approximately 10–20 cm. Apply against the direction of hair growth, ensuring that the animal’s entire coat is moistened. Massage the coat, especially in long-haired animals, to ensure the product penetrates down to the skin. To treat the area around the head, or when treating young or nervous animals, apply the product by first spraying it onto a glove and then rubbing the glove over the coat. Allow to air dry. Do not use a towel to dry the animal.
