I got this product because we suddenly had a flea infestation on both my cats and my chihuahua. It worked great to kill the adult fleas and started within about 2 hours. But I would VERY strongly recommend that you have a long term treatment immediately available. I bought a topical solution as well but it had not been delivered yet and the flea eggs already on my dog hatched in the meantime. My dog was COVERED in fleas the day after! I gave him another dose and applied the topical solution and now he is flea-free. YOU WILL NEED SOMETHING TO KILL THE EGGS ALSO!!!
Did not receive products and seller won’t take action. I contacted seller, entirelypets and they kept telling me to wait, they won’t refund money. Finally I had to wait until Amazon allow me to file a claim and then wait for more than a week to get my money refunded by Amazon. Both seller entirelypets and Amazon services are terrible.
The doggies absolutely LOVE when I can completely deflea them, and have no problem taking one of these tablets. We have 3 chihuahua’s, and when fleas happen, the little things just get totally infested. Give each dog one of these tablets, wait about 3 hours before running them through a bath, and you have some happy dogs!
I love this product, it really works. But in order to keep the fleas off you need to follow with program.
I was so impressed with this product at first. We have six cats and only one had an adverse reaction but I think it was due to the fleas biting the crap out of him. He ran around the room, jumping in the air and what not. Kinda freaky.. but he survived. I couldn’t find an alive flea on them for a couple of days but was thwarted by lack of an effective removal of the other fleas that were hanging in the shadows. Anyway, going back to Frontline, I’m afraid.
