The parasites that come into contact with Dimethicone, will often fall from the coat immediatel. However, it can also occur that they remain in the coat for a while longer. Since the parasites have been immobilized by the Dimethicone, they will no longer be able to bite/sting. By brushing the coat, the parasites can easily be removed from the animal.
Since Dimethicone places a soothing, protective layer on the coat, the parasites will already be immobilized when they reach the skin.
The SPOT ONs are not harmful to the animal. There are also several medicines for internal use with the same active ingredient.
