Trixie Insect Shield Round Dog Bed

Innovative insect protection. Insects such as ticks, mosquitos and fleas are more than just annoying nuisances. They can affect the health of humans and animals, cause itching, localised infections and fever, and carry dangerous diseases such as lyme disease and malaria. Y ears of research and a numerous field studies have produced an innovative defence mechanism against insects: The unique Insect Shield® technology protects against ticks, mosquitos, ants, flies and fleas. To this end, it uses permethrin, a synthetic variant of the insect defence employed by certain species of chrysanthemum plants. This substance is firmly embedded into the design of all Insect Shield® products. The efficient protection offered by Insect Shield® products persists for at least 25 washes and is effective out to a distance of 30 cm. The Insect Shield® technology applies the insect protection near the skin instead of on the skin. The protection is convenient, invisible and long lasting: For example, it doesn’t need to be reapplied. This means you don’t need to worry about incorrectly or overly applying the insect protection. It only needs to be applied when needed. ### Key Features: - Active ingredient: permethrin - Polyester cover - Foam filling - Against mosquitoes, ticks, flies, fleas and ants - Invisible, odourless insect protection - Long-lasting (at least 25 washes) The substance permethrin is firmly embedded into the Insect Shield® products and doesn’t get released again. This frees the Insect Shield® products from any health concerns and makes it perfectly safe for children, adults and their four legged friends. The way in which Insect Shield® works is safe even for cats, even though it employs permethrin. However, there have been no studies conducted so far on the use of Insect Shield® with cats. We therefore recommend not to let cats come into long term contact with the product. The Insect Shield® products are perfect for use at home, trips to the park, walks in the woods or when camping. It is also well suited for use anywhere where many dogs meet, such as in dog play grounds, dog kennels and at dog pageants. All Insect Shield® products are washable up to 60 °C. They can also be bleached, starched and ironed without diminishing their protection. The products shouldn’t be dry cleaned. ### Colour: Brown / Beige - Dimensions: 50 x 50cm.
