Overview

PURINA Totalcare® Flea & Tick Protection for Medium Dogs is a topical spot-on treatment formulated to protect medium-breed dogs from fleas and ticks. It uses fipronil and (S)-methoprene to kill adult fleas and prevent development of flea eggs, larvae and pupae — helping break the flea lifecycle.

The treatment also offers tick control against common ticks including brown dog ticks and provides some protection against paralysis ticks. This product is part of the TOTALCARE parasite-control range, intended for regular external parasite protection for medium-sized dogs when used according to label instructions.

Summary
Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide commonly used in topical flea and tick treatments. It disrupts the central nervous system of parasites by blocking GABA-regulated chloride channels, resulting in paralysis and death.
