Drops have good effects, last longer, but can only be used once

Parasites are a basic issue that dogs need to pay attention to. If the number of external parasites is too high, it will cause the dog to have itchy skin. The dog may scratch constantly due to the itchiness, causing scratches and other injuries. Internal parasites can cause poor absorption and dragging of the rear on the ground, which also affects the dog's health to some extent. External deworming medications can be divided into sprays and drops, and both their effects and methods of use differ.

Drops: Drops are suitable for a wide range of dogs, whether long-haired or short-haired. Moreover, using drops will not frighten the dog. Usually, drops are applied to the dog's neck, then the medication penetrates the skin and acts throughout the body. Another advantage is that applied to the dog's neck, they cannot lick the deworming medicine. Since most topical medicines may cause dogs to vomit, this can effectively avoid such situations.

Besides the difference in application, drops and sprays also differ in efficacy. Drops typically take effect after 24 hours, and the effect is more significant. In addition, they can ensure that the dog will not be harmed by parasites for a relatively long period. However, drops are single-use, so the frequency of use is low.

Sprays have strong limitations but can be used multiple times

Sprays: Sprays have certain usage limitations and are generally more suitable for short-haired dogs. For long-haired dogs, the coat is dense; using sprays not only fails to guarantee every area is treated, but also consumes a large amount of medicine, causing waste. Moreover, uneven spraying reduces the effectiveness. Another problem with sprays is that to achieve effective action, the whole body must be sprayed, but dogs habitually lick their fur, which may cause vomiting. The duration of sprays is relatively short, but they have the advantage of quantity and can be used multiple times.
