Permethrin mix for dogs

[Western]

I need the TBN brain trust. I have some Permethrin 10%.

My wife had made a mixture of almost 50/50 and put it on the dogs (large breed) last summer, one of them showed a reaction to it and I;m sure it was because of the solution ratio.

I had read a thread on here several years ago (cant find it now) where one of you dog breeders had a formula ratio for spraying/dipping/rubbing on dogs for ticks and fleas.???

Anyone have a "safe" ratio??

I suggest you call your veterinarian. He/she should be able to answer any questions.

You can find all kinds of info by using google.
Just be careful, Permethrin is deadly for cats!!! I found this information while looking for insecticide for fleas.

I have yet to find a vet that will actively help someone save money. All around here are strictly out for money.

I'm going to ask someone with hunting dogs tomorrow.

I dont know about the vets up there, but most vets in my area are either busy or out on a herd check. If you dont have a relationship with one, you can also wait forever for a return call.

Google is the 1st thing I do, hard to beat trusted recommendations from reputable TBN members vs a Google "hit", but that is just my opinion. I do use Google like everyone else, but for "general" researching.


I was able to find the manufactures label online and think I have what I need (bottle lost the fold over label)

Use with caution on the dog that had the reaction. I have seen some dogs have an allergic reaction! Can truly make the K-9 ill also to pass on some information given to me years ago, keep small children away from the dogs after applied.

That is a concern, I 'm sure the solution she previously used was WAY too strong. !st thing I'm going to do is dust them with Diatomaceous earth, works slower but I have had good luck with it in the past.

The solution I found on the label breaks down to 1oz permethrin to 1.6 gallons of water, if I use it I will try it even "thinner"

0.25% is the typical commercial dilution rate for use in the house but not on the pets. I sell a lot of flea products but none contain permethrin for use directly on the animal.

I did some searching and found a few bits of information:

Some hunting and hiking forums recommend a mix where the Permethrin is at a 0.15% strength for use on the dog.

This link has some interesting info but no dosages Permethrin for Dogs - VetInfo

The products sold that I could find for application directly to the dog (United States) dont seem to tell you the dosages online. I would suggest you go to a pet store and look at the label on a product they sell to see the dosage.

Western,

Years ago I was a K9 handler on the PD we used " DURANON" made by Colton products inc. Easton P.A. Yellow and brown can with green top. Couldn't believe I still had it, 20 + years old. No I'm not a hoarder just luck.
I went and checked my supply closet can said 0.50% Permethrin. 99.5% inert ingredients.
Spoke with a current handler and one of the old trainers they don't believe it is made any longer due to illness caused by Permethrin, don't know for sure hope this helps.
