Authorized to kill fleas and ticks!
7 - months of protection!
Every year, for a period of 7 months, there is a danger of a tick infestation.
Fleas and ticks are the most common and dangerous ectoparasites in pets worldwide. Ticks hide where dogs love to spend their time: in our surrounding environment.
Kiltix actively protects your dog from ticks and fleas for 7 months!
Ticks mainly appear in spring, summer, and autumn, i.e., the period between April and October. They are 2-10 mm long and hide in our environment, parks, low vegetation, and greenery, ambushing passing people and animals. Once on their victim, ticks use their curved legs to attach themselves well and look for suitable biting spots with good blood supply. They embed themselves in the host's skin using their mandibles (hypostomes), injuring the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
How dangerous are ticks?
Ticks are ectoparasites that feed on the blood of animals and humans. After feeding, adult female ticks fall off the host and lay their eggs in the environment. During blood-feeding, the tick's saliva, infected with pathogenic microorganisms (various bacteria, rickettsiae, viruses), enters the host's circulatory system. Therefore, ticks play the role of biological vectors for these pathogenic organisms and are involved in the spread of vector-borne diseases in dogs and humans such as Lyme disease (borreliosis) and tick-borne encephalitis. In addition, ticks can be intermediate hosts for some protozoa like babesia and rickettsiae, e.g., Ehrlichia canis. In endemic areas, one tick can carry several different causative agents of infectious diseases.

How dangerous are fleas?
Fleas (Ctenocephalides canis and felis) can cause allergic dermatitis, anemia, endoparasitosis (transmit tapeworms - Dipylidium caninum), bacterial infections (causative agent - Bartonella henselae).
Kiltix actively protects your dog from ticks and fleas for 7 months!
The mode of action is based on the fact that Na+ and K+ ions penetrate the axonal membrane at different speeds and in different quantities. Flumethrin has a rapid killing effect on fleas. In addition, it has a repellent effect, which facilitates the removal of fleas from treated animals. Flumethrin also has a pronounced acaricidal effect.

3 collar sizes: 38 cm, 53 cm, 70 cm
Propoxur and Flumethrin, which act synergistically. Marked efficacy against fleas and ticks and a significantly prolonged period of activity have been demonstrated compared to using each substance separately.
Propoxur is an ectoparasiticide from the carbamate group. Its mode of action is based on the inhibition of parasitic cholinesterase, which leads to a subsequent excessive accumulation of acetylcholine, causing the death of ticks and fleas.
Flumethrin is an ectoparasiticide from the group of synthetic pyrethroids, highly effective against ticks. Flumethrin affects the activity of sodium channels in the nerve cells of parasites, causing a prolonged series of impulses leading to paralysis of the parasite.
Kiltix® Action begins within 24 hours of placing the Kiltix collar on the dog!
After release from the collar, the two active substances spread into the animal's coat in acaricidal and insecticidal concentrations. At the latest within 24 hours, aided by coat movement, the active ingredients are transferred from the surface of the collar to the dog's skin, even to the most remote areas such as limbs and tail. In this way, the dog acquires a protective layer that is constantly renewed. Before bathing, the collar should be removed and put back on when the dog's coat is dry. The collar should be worn constantly. It is effective regardless of whether the dog is moving or at rest. Dogs with thick, matted, or greasy coats should be shampooed before applying the collar. Repeated wetting (rain, swimming, bathing) can affect the collar's effectiveness.
The effectiveness and duration of action of the collar depend on the length, density, and condition of the coat, as well as the degree of infestation. If necessary, the collar can be replaced prematurely if its effectiveness has decreased.
Kiltix is effective not only against adult ticks but also affects larvae and nymphs.
Furthermore: Kiltix not only kills ticks but also sterilizes females, providing additional control over ticks and especially those found in the home and dog kennel.
Kiltix protects against ticks throughout the active season.
