BARS spray

BARS insectoacaricidal spray 3 mg/ml, 100 ml for cats
Assessed clinical scopeCat · Full cat label from 10 weeks: treatment and prevention of flea, tick and louse infestation with a fipronil 0.3% whole-coat spray · On the skin
Care settingClinic or owner treatment in a ventilated room for kittens and cats where a measured coat dose is wanted
vetman score 5.7/10 Weak evidence support
Evidence confidence: Low Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 000314 · Verified on 21 Oct 2026

A weak option for cats: a correctly dosed fipronil spray, but hard to apply and without independent product evidence. A cat-authorised spot-on is easier.

Regulatory and scientific credibility5.0/10

The spray is registered in Georgia for cats (000314, valid to 2028) with a current Russian manufacturer instruction, but it has no EU, UK or US dossier.

Clinical efficacy6.0/10

At 3-5 ml/kg the spray gives 9-15 mg/kg fipronil, similar to EU-authorised fipronil sprays, but this formulation has no independent study.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Fipronil is safe in cats, but grooming of a wet coat raises oral exposure; the label excludes kittens under 10 weeks and sick cats.

Clinical practicality5.0/10

Spraying a cat to skin level against the hair is poorly tolerated and needs restraint until dry.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

No verified current Georgian price or patient-adjusted course cost was found; foreign prices were not substituted.

Important safety and use flags

  • Do not use in kittens under 10 weeks or in infectious, weakened or convalescent cats; pregnancy and lactation need veterinary supervision.
  • Never use on rabbits: fipronil is toxic to them.
  • Prevent licking until fully dry; hypersalivation can follow if the cat licks the wet coat.
  • Use the cat spray, not the dog spray, and apply in a ventilated area.
  • Toxic to bees, fish and aquatic organisms.

BARS spray

BARS insectoacaricidal spray 3 mg/ml, 100 ml for dogs
Assessed clinical scopeDog · Full dog label from 10 weeks: treatment and prevention of flea, tick and louse infestation with a fipronil 0.3% whole-coat spray · On the skin
Care settingClinic or owner treatment outdoors or in a ventilated room, useful for puppies and small dogs where a measured coat dose is wanted
vetman score 5.8/10 Weak evidence support
Evidence confidence: Low Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 000924 · Verified on 21 Oct 2026

A weak option: the fipronil dose matches proven sprays, but the large volume and missing product evidence keep it well below EU-authorised fipronil sprays.

Regulatory and scientific credibility5.0/10

The spray is registered in Georgia (000924, valid to 2030) with a current Russian manufacturer instruction; fipronil sprays are authorised in the EU, but this product has no EU, UK or US dossier.

Clinical efficacy6.0/10

At 3-5 ml/kg the spray gives 9-15 mg/kg fipronil, similar to EU-authorised fipronil sprays, but this formulation has no independent study.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Fipronil is well tolerated by dogs, but whole-coat spraying increases inhalation and licking exposure; the label excludes puppies under 10 weeks and sick dogs.

Clinical practicality5.5/10

Wetting the coat to the skin with 3-5 ml/kg means large volumes for big dogs, and a 100 ml bottle treats one 20-30 kg dog.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

No verified current Georgian price or patient-adjusted course cost was found; foreign prices were not substituted.

Important safety and use flags

  • Do not use in puppies under 10 weeks or in infectious, weakened or convalescent dogs; pregnancy and lactation need veterinary supervision.
  • Never use on rabbits: fipronil is toxic to them.
  • Spray outdoors or in a ventilated area, prevent licking until fully dry and comb after 20 minutes.
  • Fipronil kills ticks after attachment and does not repel them.
  • Toxic to bees, fish and aquatic organisms.
