I'm so sorry your poor cat is having such a hard time. If she was already full of fleas before starting the Flea Away, you may need to get her to the vet or groomer for a flea dip, while continuing to use the product for future prevention. My dog wasn't full of fleas when I started using it, so all I can say about my personal experience is that he never attracted any fleas after I started giving him the Flea Away. I'm a little concerned that you said your cat stinks, in addition to being full of fleas. The Flea Away shouldn't have any effect on your cat's odor. There has been absolutely no odor with my dog, while I've been giving it to him. Cats are extremely clean creatures. I'm not a veterinary expert by any means, but there could be an underlying health concern here. Fleas can be very attracted to animals with weakened immune system, and a cat who is not keeping herself clean and is stinking could be ill. You may want to consider a veterinary visit just to be on the safe side. Hope this helps.

I have the same issue with one of my cats. Did you buy this and has it worked for you ?

I would say more than a couple of weeks, if not longer. We actually had fleas in our king-size bed because the cats sleep with us and we only had to spray it once (of course, our cats were treated with Advantage and we sprayed their bedding with this Hartz UltraGuard as well) and that was it. This was 6+ months ago and we haven't had to use it again since. It got rid of the fleas...now my hubby and our cat-babies are happy as can be!

I think it has some effect but will not totally get rid of fleas. I find it helps to take daily and give him a bath every week. It has a lot of good vitamins and stuff in it and also Brewer's yeast (which is what repels the fleas.) At least, it is not poison.

It maybe worked when I only had a dog. I've I got a cat and he started going outside is when I noticed. They were taking these pills everyday single prior to the fleas. Even for a while after. No change at all. I bought about 3 bottles. I did hear that fresh chopped garlic alone does work tho

Unfortunately, this product lasted 2 weeks and was no longer effective; cat. Right now I'm trying Broad Spectrum Flea Control Capsules. I've tried all major flea brands and for some reason they don't work.

I'm using it on 3 barn cats. It usually lasts about a month depending, of course, on how bad the flea season is. Last year here, in Virginia, summer came in early & very hot, so it was every 3 weeks. This year, we have yet to see any extended heat, so they have gone almost 6 weeks without noticable discomfort.

I can't tell you how long it takes to work because it didn't work for my dog. She threw up after I have it to her. Sorry.

As far as we can tell immediately, the smell it present as soon as it is put on. The smell fades over the next few days. Make sure to put it on parting the fur and patiently applying it were the neck meets the top of the head, it is hard for the cat to get at it. This gives it has a chance to soak in.I asked my vet and she was very happy to show me how the first time. We have used it for 4 years and had no sign of anything. The neighbors upstairs had fleas on all they're cats (who never go outside) but we haven't. We are careful to do it each month the same day so the coverage doesn't laps. We just mark the day on the calendar like any other appointment. We are an active and social family and people can bring in fleas and ticks on there clothes. They attach to the shoes,pants and socks, looking for opportunity.I hope this is helpful.

Is it dead fleas? My cat didn't have that. I will tell u I did find a tick on floor spayed this right in and sucker died immediately so I'm guessing they died right on your cat. I would also spay in bedding area and carpet if some jumped of that's why I use the trap and this

Hi Julie-I started in mid July which is right smack in flea season. My kittens scratched a few times during that month and as I gave them their "treats" the scratching has gone. Now we are coming into autumn there are way less fleas but I still give them their treats

The company said it would take two weeks, but I would recommend a professional pest control(which I did after I couldnt stand scratching). It can go away in 3-5 days compare to this powder. What the powder does was mess up their environment so I saw more fleas than before because they were trying to escape from it. They dont die in the first days. Hope it helps!

I would repeat in a week for a severe flea problem. You must also treat the yard with a yard spray if the pet goes outside. Use a product like Frontline/Advantix on animal.

I have only been using it for one month, but it seems to have worked just as well. No issues with fleas or anything else. I would say its hard to know so far, but coming up on our second application, all seems well. Hope that helps!

There has been a lot of talk about it helping with fleas, so I thought I would give it a try. I saw no difference at all, but a friend said that you should rub it into the fur instead of on their food. I still have a lot left so I might try that the next time.

This will work for her for a few days. The longest I've gone is 5 days (I was sick in bed). It does eventually build up and get itchy though.

How long have they been on it? It took my dogs about a good month to work. Not sure if it's hot where you're at but that may also be a factor. When it gets hot I tend to find a flea or two on my pups and that's when I'll add advantix ( temporarily) Hope this helps
