Vectra 3D for Dogs

Vectra 3D is a broad-spectrum topical treatment designed to protect dogs against a wide range of external parasites, including fleas, ticks, lice, mosquitoes, biting flies, sandflies, and certain mites (excluding mange mites).

Key Features & Benefits

• Kills and repels fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.
• Provides protection against lice, mites, and biting flies.
• Starts killing fleas within 6 hours.
• Targets fleas at all life stages (eggs, larvae, and adults).
• Helps minimize the risk of flea allergy dermatitis and anemia caused by flea infestations.
• Repels disease-carrying ticks and insects.
• Waterproof and quick-drying formula.
• Provides up to 1 month of protection per application.

How Vectra 3D Works

Vectra 3D contains three active ingredients:

• Dinotefuran – Kills fleas rapidly.
• Pyriproxyfen – Disrupts flea life cycle by preventing development.
• Permethrin – Repels and kills ticks, mosquitoes, and flies.

It works on contact, meaning parasites do not need to bite your dog to be affected.

Flea feeding is reduced to just a few minutes, and fleas are eliminated within hours, effectively breaking the infestation cycle.
