DimethiCare is the ideal solution if you are looking for an alternative way to stop pests or to help dogs and cats with an existing infestation. The extensive range offers the right approach for every pest problem. The basis of these products is dimethicone. This substance is not an insecticide, but it inhibits pests in their movement, causing them to become immobilized.

Dimethicon

The main component of the DimethiCare products is dimethicone, a type of silicone. When pests (eg fleas & ticks) come into contact with this substance, a sticky layer forms and the joints are blocked. Movement becomes impossible for the parasites and they fall from their host or can easily be brushed out. Pests are also immobilized when used in the environment. Dimethicone is non-toxic and not an insecticide, its action is purely mechanical. Because insects and mites need to move in order to breathe, when they are immobilized by dimethicone, they will eventually die.

Aloe vera

DimethiCare products for the animal contain a duo complex of aloe vera with dimethicone. Aloe vera has a beneficial effect on the recovery of the skin from insect bites and is known for its antibacterial effect. Due to the faster recovery and the caring effect, the skin will be less irritated and an animal will scratch less.

DimethiCare Line-On

For preventive protection against pests, there are 4 variants of DimethiCare Line-Unavailable (3x dog, 1x cat). By applying the drops in a line, DimethiCare can spread quickly and evenly over the body. The effect of 1 pipette is about 8-10 days. Pests that end up on the animal come into contact with dimethicone, become immobilized and then fall out of the fur or can simply be brushed out. Suitable for dogs and cats from 12 weeks of age, do not use during pregnancy and lactation.

DimethiCare Spray

When pests are already present on the animal's fur, they can be immobilized using DimethiCare Spray. The coat is moistened with the spray and distributed over the entire coat with a brush. After the coat has dried, the coat is rinsed to remove the immobilized pests. Then spray the animal again (8-10 days of protection) or treat with DimethiCare Line-On. DimethiCare Spray is available in a 250ml and 500ml variant. Suitable for dogs and cats from 12 weeks of age, do not use during pregnancy and lactation.

DimethiCare Environmental Spray

Dimethicone is also very suitable for the treatment of the environment. DimethiCare environmental spray physically immobilizes ticks, fleas and other parasites such as mosquitoes, mites and lice, whereby the product has an effect on the different life stages of the parasites. DimethiCare Environmental Spray has a two week finish and is ideal for use on carpets, fabric furniture, baskets and other places where pets stay.

Does DimethiCare products make the coat sticky?
No, the coat does not get sticky. Dimethicone is so fine that it has a soothing effect on the fur of animals. However, it easily penetrates into the joints in pests where they provide a blocking effect.

Is DimethiCare resistant to washing or getting wet?
After washing or when an animal has been swimming, Dimethicone is rinsed out and the treatment will have to be repeated.

Does the floor become slippery when treated with an environmental spray?
As long as the DimethiCare environmental spray has not yet dried, it is possible that the floor in those places is temporarily slippery than normal. After drying, the floor can be walked on normally.

What happens if the animal licks DimethiCare?
It is not harmful when the drops are licked. There are also various (veterinary) medicines available for internal use with the same active ingredient.

Which product should I use in an area with high flea and tick pressure?
When there is a very high flea pressure from the environment of the animal, it is advisable to use the spray. The spray is applied all over the body and thus works immediately, while the Line-On takes time to spread. However, for preventive treatments the Line-On pipettes are ideal.

Is an animal that has been treated still stung?
Because Dimethicone creates a nurturing layer on the coat, pests will usually be immobilized before reaching the skin.

Does the pest that is immobilized fall directly from the fur?
Vermin that has come into contact with Dimethicon often falls out immediately, but sometimes they still remain. However, they will no longer bite/sting because they are immobilized. They can be easily removed by brushing.
