Proven Flea & Tick Control
ProMeris for dogs contains metaflumizone, as well as Amitraz, to provide broad-spectrum control of fleas and ticks.

While monthly application is recommended for optimal flea control, research results show ProMeris effectively controls fleas and protects against re-infestation for up to six weeks, and can be used as part of a treatment strategy for dogs suffering from flea allergy dermatitis.

ProMeris for dogs is proven to provide up to four weeks of tick control, and kills ticks that can transmit serious diseases, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Ehrlichia.

How It Works
ProMeris for dogs uses the active ingredient metaflumizone to kill fleas. Metaflumizone, a new compound in veterinary medicine, is proven to protect against fleas, including those that may cause flea allergy dermatitis. Research shows fleas are readily susceptible to metaflumizone.

Metaflumizone targets sodium channels all along the presynaptic and postsynaptic nerve, blocking the influx of sodium required to propagate a nerve impulse along the neuron. These neuron disruptions result in reductions in feeding, loss of coordination, paralysis and death of fleas.

Amitraz is the second active ingredient in ProMeris for dogs. It is a well-recognized, proven tick-control agent that veterinarians have relied on for years. Up until now, Amitraz has only been available in the veterinary market as a collar or dip. By putting the compound into our unique formulation, ProMeris for dogs, veterinarians and pet owners can now enjoy, for the first time, the benefits of effective tick control with Amitraz in a convenient topical application.

Amitraz kills ticks by disrupting normal nerve function leading to reduced feeding and attachment, paralysis and death. Amitraz is an inhibitor of the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO), which is responsible for degrading the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and serotonin. Well established as a trusted tick control compound, Amitraz is currently approved in the United States for various applications including both food producing and companion animals.
