Flea Knockdown Chew for Puppies and Small Dogs
Overview
PURINA Totalcare® Flea Knockdown for Puppies & Small Dogs is an oral tablet treatment formulated to provide rapid control of adult fleas when they are visible on your pet. It uses nitenpyram to quickly kill adult fleas and help relieve irritation and discomfort.
The tablets can be given directly by mouth or hidden in a small amount of food, and are suitable for puppies and small dogs weighing 0.5–11 kg. This product is intended for fast, on-the-day flea knockdown and can be used whenever fleas are evident, as part of a broader parasite-control program.
Ingredients
Active: Nitenpyram. Inactive: Not publicly documented.
Nitenpyram is a fast-acting neonicotinoid insecticide used in oral flea treatments. It begins killing adult fleas within 30 minutes of administration by interfering with their nerve impulse transmission, though it provides no residual or long-term protection.
Unknown ingredients refer to components listed in pet food formulations whose specific identity or source is not disclosed. These may originate from animal, plant, or synthetic sources. Their primary purpose can vary, including nutritional supplementation or functional roles such as preservation. As their exact form is unspecified, it is unclear whether they are used in their natural state or as processed compounds, raising concerns about transparency and traceability.
This ingredient is included as a cost-effective component or processing aid, potentially serving to optimise manufacturing efficiency or product texture. Its presence may also support labelling requirements or contribute to the product’s stability, though its specific functional role is not clearly defined.
