Efficacy of a fluralaner-based ectoparasiticide for the control of otodectic and sarcoptic mange in naturally infested dogs, evaluated in randomized, double-blind clinical studies

The WellPet™ product, a novel ectoparasiticide based on fluralaner, proved to be highly effective in the treatment of both sarcoptic and otodectic mange, with results similar to those of sarolaner, the only isoxazoline, at the time of these trials, registered in Brazil for controlling these mites. The main advantage observed for WellPet™ is the ability to achieve complete cure of sarcoptic mange with a single dose, thereby simplifying disease management. For otodectic mange, both products were highly effective. Further trials must still be conducted to corroborate these initial findings, but in summary, data presented here indicates that WellPet™ is an effective and practical treatment option for sarcoptic and otodectic mange in dogs with a single administration.
