Veko Proxurr (Propoxur) tick Powder for Dogs and Cats (100g)

Tick and Flea Powder for Dogs and Cats — Veko Proxurr (Propoxur 1%) | 100g

Found a tick buried in your dog's coat? Spotted fleas jumping off your cat's bedding? Veko Proxurr tick and flea powder for dogs and cats kills ticks, fleas, lice, and mites on contact; no bathing, no rinsing, and no complicated application steps required.

Proxurr is powered by Propoxur 1% w/w, a proven ectoparasiticidal compound widely used in veterinary parasite control across India. Unlike a shampoo or spot-on, this dusting powder for dogs and cats works entirely on the coat surface. Dust it on, work it in, and it gets to work immediately. It can also be applied directly to your pet's bedding, sleeping area, and surroundings, tackling the reinfestation cycle at the source rather than just on the animal. 

(Suitable for dogs and cats above 60 days of age. Available in 100g. Manufactured by Veko Care Pvt. Ltd., Pune.)

 

What Is It Used For? 

Here's what Veko Proxurr tick powder for dogs and cats is used for:

• Tick control: Kills ticks on contact and helps reduce reinfestation when applied regularly during peak tick season. If your dog or cat is picking up ticks during outdoor activity or contact with other animals, this is a practical first-line option

• Flea treatment: Works as a flea powder for dogs and cats, eliminating adult fleas living on your pet's coat and in their immediate environment

• Lice control: Tackles lice that cause coat damage, excessive scratching, and skin irritation, particularly in pets that spend time outdoors or around other animals

• Mite treatment: Targets surface-dwelling mites that cause itching and skin inflammation on contact

• Bedding and environment treatment: One of the few formats that can be applied directly to tick powder for dog bedding and flea powder for pet bedding, sleeping areas, kennels, and resting spots, to break the reinfestation cycle at the source rather than just treating the animal

• Routine prevention for pets above 60 days: Can be used as part of a regular grooming routine to keep parasite numbers under control between vet visits

How Does It Work? 

• Propoxur belongs to a class of insecticides called carbamates, which work by inhibiting an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase in the nervous system of parasites

• When ticks, fleas, lice, and mites come into contact with Propoxur 1%, their nervous system is disrupted, and they are rapidly paralysed and killed

• Unlike spot-ons that absorb into the bloodstream, this powder works entirely on contact, on the coat surface and in the surrounding environment

• Because it can be applied to bedding and sleeping areas as well as directly to your pet, it tackles both the animal and the environment at the same time, which is critical for breaking the reinfestation cycle

• The pleasant-aroma formulation makes application less stressful for both pets and their owners compared to traditional tick powders

 

How To Properly Apply The Powder? 

Wondering how to use tick powder on dogs and cats correctly? Here's exactly what to do:

For your pet:

1. Part the fur against the direction of growth so the powder reaches the skin

2. Dust Veko Proxurr powder evenly across the entire coat, paying special attention to the neck, back, belly, between the legs, and around the tail

3. Work the powder gently into the coat using your fingers or a soft brush

4. Avoid the eyes, nose, and mouth during application

5. Do not rinse off. Allow the powder to remain on the coat

For bedding and environment:

1. Dust lightly onto your pet's bedding, sleeping mat, kennel floor, and resting areas

2. Leave for a few hours before replacing bedding material

How often: Every 7 to 10 days during active infestation, or once a fortnight for routine prevention. Follow your vet's advice for the appropriate frequency based on your pet's environment and infestation level.

 

⚠️ Before you use it: 

• Not for puppies or kittens under 60 days of age 

• Avoid contact with your pet's eyes, nose, and mouth during application 

• Wash your hands thoroughly after applying 

• Keep your pet from licking the treated area until the powder has fully settled into the coat 

• Ensure good ventilation in the room during application

 

What Are The Side Effects Of This Powder? 

Veko Proxurr powder side effects are uncommon when used as directed. Here's what to watch for:

• Mild skin irritation: Occasional redness or itching at the application site, particularly in pets with sensitive skin. This usually settles within a few hours

• Sneezing during application: Fine powder particles can irritate the nose temporarily during dusting. Apply in a well-ventilated area and avoid the face

• Excessive drooling or lethargy: Rare, but can occur if a pet licks a significant amount of powder from their coat. If this happens, rinse the mouth with water and contact your vet if symptoms don't settle

• Eye irritation: If the powder accidentally contacts the eyes, rinse immediately with clean water

If your pet shows any unusual signs after application, including tremors, loss of coordination, or laboured breathing, contact your vet immediately.
