Veko Assurity Plus Tick & Flea Spot On for Dogs

Spot On for Dogs — Veko Assurity Plus (Imidacloprid + Moxidectin) Tick, Flea, Mange & Worm Treatment

Most tick and flea treatments for dogs stop at the skin. Veko Assurity Plus spot on for dogs goes much further. It's one of the only monthly spot-on treatments in India that covers external parasites like fleas, ticks, lice, and ear mites, as well as internal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and heartworms, and skin conditions like sarcoptic mange and demodicosis, all in a single application.

The Assurity Plus tick and flea spot on for dogs is powered by two active ingredients working together. Imidacloprid 10% w/v handles everything living on your dog's coat and skin. Moxidectin 2.5% w/v absorbs into the bloodstream and eliminates parasites from the inside. Applied once a month to the back of the neck, this dual-action spot-on for dogs is one of the most complete parasite protection options available for dogs in India today.

(Available in three sizes. Veko Assurity Plus 1.0ml for 4 to 10kg, 2.5ml for 10 to 25kg, and 4.0ml for 25 to 40kg. Suitable for dogs and puppies older than 7 weeks. Manufactured by Veko Care Pvt. Ltd., Pune.)

What Is It Used For?

Here's what Veko Assurity Plus dog spot-on is used for:

• Flea treatment and prevention: Kills adult fleas on contact and disrupts the flea lifecycle, preventing reinfestation for up to a month. If your dog is scratching constantly or you've spotted tiny black specks in their fur, this is where to start.

• Tick control: Works as a reliable tick and flea spot on for dogs, eliminating ticks that latch onto your dog during walks, outdoor play, or contact with other animals

• Ear mite treatment: One of the few spot-ons that doubles as an ear mite treatment spot on for dogs, targeting the mites that cause intense ear scratching, head shaking, and dark waxy discharge

• Sarcoptic mange treatment: As a spot-on mange treatment for dogs, it treats sarcoptic mange caused by Sarcoptes scabiei, the mite responsible for intense itching, crusty skin, and significant hair loss in dogs

• Demodicosis treatment: Also effective against Demodex mites, making it one of the few over-the-counter options for demodicosis treatment for dogs available in India

• Roundworm, hookworm, and whipworm treatment: The Moxidectin component provides internal and external parasite treatment for dogs simultaneously, covering the intestinal worms that most monthly flea treatments ignore entirely

• Heartworm prevention: Moxidectin spot-on for dogs provides monthly heartworm prevention, protecting against a potentially fatal condition that is increasingly relevant in India's tropical climate

How Does it Work?

• Veko Assurity Plus works through two active ingredients, each targeting a completely different category of parasite.

• Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide that spreads across your dog's skin and coat within hours of application, attacking the nervous system of fleas, ticks, lice, and mites on contact and killing them before they can bite or reproduce.

• Moxidectin is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream, where it reaches intestinal parasites,s including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and heartworm larvae, paralysing and eliminating them from the insi.de

• Together, this Imidacloprid Moxidectin spot on for dogs delivers complete all-in-one spot on for dogs coverage in a single monthly application.

• Imidacloprid also works on the skin surface to kill the mites responsible for sarcoptic mange and demodicosis, making this one of the most versatile spot-ons available in India.

• Protection begins within hours of application and lasts for up to 4 weeks

How Do You Administer The Spot On?

Wondering how spot on works on dogs and how to apply it correctly? Here's exactly what to do:

1. Choose the correct size based on your dog's body weight. Always weigh your dog before selecting a pipette

2. Part the fur at the base of your dog's neck, between the shoulder blades, until the skin is clearly visible

3. Place the tip of the pipette directly on the skin and squeeze the entire contents in one spot

4. Do not rub in — allow it to absorb and dry naturally

5. For dogs between 10 and 40kg, apply the contents across two to three spots along the back rather than one, for better distribution.

6. Keep your dog dry and avoid bathing for at least 48 hours after application.n

7. Repeat once every month for continuous monthly flea treatment for dogs

What Is The Proper Dosage For Your Dog?

⚠️ Before you use it:

• Apply only to the back of the neck or along the spine, where your dog cannot lick

• Not for puppies under 7 weeks of age

• Keep treated dogs away from other pets and children until the application site is completely dry.

• Wash your hands thoroughly after applying

What Are The Side Effects Of The Product?

Veko Assurity Plus spot on for dogs’ side effects are uncommon when applied correctly. Here's what to watch for:

• Temporary skin irritation at the application site: Mild redness, itching, or localised hair loss at the spot where the pipette was applied. This usually resolves within a few days and is more common in dogs with sensitive skin.

• Greasy or clumped fur: The pipette solution may leave a slightly oily patch for 24 to 48 hours after application. This is completely normal and not a sign of a reaction.n

• Lethargy or drooling: Rare, and usually only occurs if the dog manages to groom the application site before it has dried. Rinse the area with water and call your vet if symptoms persist.

• Neurological signs in sensitive dogs: Extremely rare, but if your dog shows tremors, loss of coordination, or severe lethargy after application, contact your vet immediately.

What Are The Contraindications & Drug Interactions?

Check with your vet before using if:

• Your dog is under 7 weeks of age

• Your dog is pregnant, nursing, or has an underlying illness

• Your dog is already on another antiparasitic treatment, as combining treatments without guidance can cause overexposure

• Your dog has a history of neurological conditions, as Moxidectin affects the nervous system of parasites,s and hypersensitive dogs may occasionally react

• Your dog is a Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, Australian Shepherd, or related breed — these breeds can carry the MDR1 gene mutation that makes them sensitive to certain antiparasitic compounds, ds including Moxidectin. Always consult your vet before use

⚠️ Clinical Safety Notice:

• In multi-pet households, keep your dog separated from other pets until the application site is fully dry.

• Keep your dog dry for 48 hours after application. Swimming or bathing too soon reduces effectiveness.s

FAQs

How often should I apply spot on for dogs? 

Monthly spot-on treatments provide up to 4 weeks of protection against fleas, ticks, ear mites, mange, and internal parasites in a single application. Apply once a month on the same date for continuous coverage. Applying too early risks overexposure; too late leaves a gap in protection. Mark the date of each application so you don't lose track.

Can I wash my dog after spot on treatment? 

Wait at least 48 hours before bathing your dog after any spot-on application. The active ingredients need time to absorb through the skin and spread across the coat. Bathing too soon significantly reduces effectiveness. If your dog swims or gets caught in rain within 48 hours of application, consult your vet about whether reapplication is needed.

What are the side effects of spot on for dogs? 

Side effects from dog spot-on treatments are generally mild and uncommon. The most frequently reported are temporary skin irritation or a greasy patch at the application site, both settling within a day or two. Lethargy or drooling can occur if the dog licks the site before it dries. Very rarely, sensitive dogs may show neurological signs like tremors.

Can you touch a dog after flea treatment? 

Yes, but avoid stroking the application site directly until it is fully dry, usually within 24 hours. You can handle your dog normally otherwise. Keep children away from the treated area until it has completely absorbed, and in multi-pet households, separate your dogs from other pets until the spot has dried completely to prevent accidental grooming of the treatment site.
