Both dogs and cats were provided a simulated home environment (SHE) that supported flea and tick life cycle. The carpet was provided as bedding in each cage and a medium for flea infestation was applied to the carpet. After getting them accustomed with the cage and allowing the flea infestations for 64 days in dogs and for 35 days in cats Fluralaner was applied at a single spot with dosage quantity of 0.7ml-1.2ml /dog and 0.3ml to 0.8 ml /cat. After applying the treatment both dogs and cats were observed for any side effects or reactions. And then they were again sent to their respective cage. Result In Dogs : 2 fleas were located in a dog just after the day of treatment and 3 fleas were found on another dog after 14 days of treatment and after that, all dogs were found flea free for 84 days.
