Veko Assurity Plus Tick & Flea Spot On for Cats

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

Most tick and flea treatments for cats stop at the skin. Veko Assurity Plus spot-on for cats goes further; it's one of the few spot-on treatments in India that tackles both external parasites like fleas, ticks, lice, and ear mites, and internal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and heartworms, all in a single monthly application.

The Assurity Plus cat tick and flea spot on is powered by two active ingredients, Imidacloprid 100mg/ml and Moxidectin 10mg/ml, working together as a dual action spot on for cats. One deals with what's living on your cat. The other deals with what's living inside them. Applied once a month to the back of the neck, it's one of the most complete parasite protection options available for cats in India today.

(Available in two sizes: 0.4ml for cats up to 4kg and 0.8ml for cats above 4kg. Manufactured by Veko Care Pvt. Ltd., Pune.)

What Is It Used For?

Veko Assurity Plus cat spot-on is used for:

• Tick & Flea treatment and prevention: Kills adult fleas on contact and breaks the flea lifecycle, preventing reinfestation for up to a month. If your cat is scratching constantly or you've spotted tiny black specks in their fur, this is where to start. It also works as a reliable tick and flea spot on for cats, eliminating ticks that latch onto your cat during outdoor activity or contact with other animals.

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

• Lice control: Eliminates biting lice that cause coat damage, skin irritation, and restlessness in cats

• Roundworm and hookworm treatment: The Moxidectin component provides internal parasite coverage, meaning this spot-on does the job of a monthly flea treatment and a separate cat dewormer, combined into one application.

• Heartworm prevention: Moxidectin spot on for cats provides monthly heartworm prevention — a serious and often fatal condition that is increasingly relevant for cats in India's tropical climate

How Does It Work?

• Veko Assurity Plus works through two active ingredients that each target a different category of parasite.

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

• Moxidectin is absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream. It then reaches intestinal and tissue parasites, including roundworms, hookworms, and heartworm larvae, paralysing and eliminating them from the inside.

• Together, this Imidacloprid Moxidectin spot-on for cats provides internal and external parasite treatment for cats in a single monthly dose.

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

• Because it's applied to the back of the neck, where your cat cannot lick it, it stays in place and absorbs fully into the skin

How To Properly Administer The Spot-On To Your Cat?

1. Choose the correct size — 0.4ml for cats up to 4kg, 0.8ml for cats above 4kg.

2. Part the fur at the base of your cat's neck, between the shoulder blades, until the skin is 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. Keep your cat dry and avoid bathing for at least 48 hours after application

6. Repeat once every month for continuous monthly flea treatment for cats

⚠️ Before You Use It:

• Apply only to the back of the neck — applying elsewhere increases the risk of your cat licking the treatment

• Do not use on kittens under 9 weeks of age or weighing less than 1kg

• Keep treated cats away from other pets until the application site is completely dry

• Wash your hands thoroughly after applying

What Are The Side Effects Of This Spot-On?

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

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

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

• Lethargy or drooling: Rare, and usually only occurs if the cat manages to groom the application site before it has dried. If this happens, rinse the area and call your vet if symptoms persist.

• Neurological signs in very sensitive cats: Extremely rare, but if your cat 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 cat is under 9 weeks of age or weighs less than 1kg

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

• Your cat is already on another antiparasitic treatment — doubling up without vet guidance can cause overexposure

• Your cat has a history of neurological conditions — Moxidectin affects the nervous system of parasites, and hypersensitive cats may occasionally react.

⚠️ Clinical Safety Notice: 

• Placement is everything. Apply only to the back of the neck, where your cat physically cannot lick

• If the solution reaches your cat's mouth, it can cause drooling, nausea, or twitching. Rinse immediately and call your vet if it doesn't settle.

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

• Keep your cat dry for at least 48 hours after application

• First time using a spot-on? Ask your vet to show you the correct technique. It makes all the difference.

How Do You Safely Store This Spot-On?

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

• Keep in original packaging until use

• Keep out of reach of children and pets

• Do not freeze

• Check the packaging for the expiry date before use

FAQs

Does spot-on work for cats? 

Yes. Spot-on treatments are among the most effective monthly parasite protection options for cats. They start working within hours of application and provide up to 4 weeks of protection. Veko Assurity Plus covers both external parasites (fleas, ticks, lice, ear mites) and internal parasites (roundworms, hookworms, heartworms) in a single monthly dose.

Can I touch my cat after applying a spot on? 

It's best to avoid stroking the application site until it's completely dry, usually within 24 hours. You can handle your cat normally otherwise, but keep children away from the treated area until it has fully absorbed. In multi-pet households, separate your cats from other pets until the spot has dried to prevent accidental grooming of the treatment site.

What happens if a cat licks a spot on the treatment? 

If a cat licks a spot-on treatment before it dries, they may drool, paw at their mouth, or seem briefly nauseous. The solution tastes bitter and irritates the mouth. Rinse with water and monitor closely. If symptoms are severe or don't settle within an hour, call your vet. Correct placement at the base of the neck prevents this entirely.

What are the side effects of spot-on for cats? 

Side effects from cat spot-on treatments are uncommon when applied correctly. The most frequently reported are temporary skin irritation or a greasy patch at the application site, both settling within 24–48 hours. Drooling can occur if the cat licks the treatment before it dries. Very rarely, sensitive cats may show neurological signs like tremors. Contact your vet if this happens.
