Permoxin for Dogs

Permoxin is a well concentrated permethrin based insecticide to prevent fleas, ticks, flies and biting insects on dogs and horses. This advanced formula helps to control paralysis tick and prevents Flea Allergy Dermatitis in dogs. The topical solution manages fly nuisance on horses and protects them from Queensland Itch. Acting as insect repellent, it provides greater relief to flea allergic dogs and controls various flies on horses. It is suitable to use on pregnant and lactating animals.

How does it work?

Permoxin utilises advanced technology that allows the ingredient Permethrin to bind to clean hair and skin for long lasting effectiveness. This ingredient repels fleas and ticks from attacking dogs and horses. Permethrin resists inactivation by light, thus ensures longer duration of action than the natural pyrethrins that quickly decompose when exposed to sun and air.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tick control: Rinse dogs weekly for tick control. Maintain thorough daily inspections, especially in known paralysis tick areas. Spray animal in between rinses if desired for extra protection.

Flea control: Spray or rinse weekly. For flea allergy dermatitis, daily spraying may be necessary for 14 days until symptoms are controlled, then spray as required to control symptoms. Environmental flea control should be carried out to minimise re-infestation.

Horses: To control fly nuisance, spray or rinse animal as required. For Queensland Itch, spray animal twice weekly until symptoms abate, then as required to control symptoms.

Permoxin is registered for use in dogs and horses.

How to use

Directions for use:

  • For use as a spray: Obtain a trigger spray device and keep it exclusively for use with Permoxin. Add 10mL of Permoxin concentrate to every 400mL of water OR if rapid drying is desired, add 10mL of Permoxin concentrate to every 400mL of methylated spirits. Hold container approximately 20cm from coat and spray while ruffling the coat to ensure thorough penetration and coverage of the coat and skin. Spray the entire animal but avoid eyes and mouth. Allow to dry on the coat.
  • For use as a rinse: May be used on a dry coat or after washing. If using shampoo first, rinse coat in clean water and then allow excess water to drain off coat. Make up enough solution to treat the animal by mixing 10mL Permoxin concentrate to every 400mL of water. Apply Permoxin solution to the animal, covering the entire animal, but avoiding the eyes and mouth. A sponge assists application. Foaming of this product does not affect performance.
