Our dog had ticks not fleas, wouldn't use this we had to him to the vet because of bad reaction of this product. The vet said a dog came in last week that used this and he DIED from bad reaction!!!!!

Honestly cannot answer this as our dog did not have fleas, just ticks. Once I applied it to our dog, within hours she went outside and to play with the kids and came back without any ticks.

Depends on how long your dog wears it. If it's only a couple hours a day and you remember to turn it off after using it, around 3 months or more.

Oh my goodness, YES! Give it about 6 weeks and you'll notice a huge difference. I could tell because I have white sheets on my bed and they were covered in hair and clumps would come out when I pet the dogs. Now it's very minimal and the pooches even smell better too!!

It lasted six weeks for my pup who weighs 26 pounds now. I bathed her every two days initially, then twice a week when the vet said I could slow it down. Hope that helps. Her mange took six weeks to cure, but wasn't very severe. She got oral medication too.

It only works while it is on. I have been using it on my dogs for years and have had no adverse reactions to leaving them on. They are waterproof. I change them every 3 months. My dog do not have fleas and so I do not want to treat with a flea treatment.

No, if you have fleas it is because they are on your pets. Fleas won't live without a host. You have to treat your pets so that every time a flea takes a bite they die. Depending on your situation that could take a few days or weeks. But make sure to treat your pets every month, and not just the outside pets, all of them. When your pets are treated your infestation will cease to exist.

Our dog is short-haired and so far we havent seen any fleas either so I have no experience with the problem. But we sometimes let her snuggle with us on the bed and we have not had any dog related problem except for shedding! Hope this helps!

when we had our dog we used advantage on her.One time she was full of fleas and the vet said to wait the 30 days or it could make her sick. i assume it would be the same with this product as well.

I actually saw a difference in my dog after a few weeks, and I have seen continued improvements 2-3 months out. I have noticed that missing a day or changing the time that I give him his daily dose has led to accidents in the house. Hope this helps!

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.

That's what Bayer's website says. Both dogs are still tick free after approximately 1 month (the first 2 weeks my outdoor lab did have a few). I will remove them in November (5 months wear) because it will be too cold for ticks. I was planning to store them in their original container & put them back on in May. I do not know if they will still work or not. However, I still feel I got my money's worth either way. Expensive topicals like Advantix did not repel my outdoor dogs ticks. Good luck!

Capstar only kills the live fleas on your animal, it is out of their system within 24 hours. You are supposed to use this along with a once a month topical such as frontline. If you want something that will treat fleas, roundworms and heartworm like Revolution, you will have to get it from your veterinarian.

I just started in May (in South Florida's Super Big FLEA season) on my new dog. She is not kept apart from other dogs and I let her sniff everywhere and, so far, knock on wood, she has no fleas! I would tend to agree with L. Lewis below that it takes a few days to get into the dog's system and cells so that the fleas are repelled. Meanwhile, almost everyone new we meet comments on how beautiful her coat is.

I am not very sure. I am using it for a few months along with my dogs food regularly. He likes it and eats fast. His skin has no apparent changes though in months. May be i will wait for more time to see the changes to his skin. His scratching is as usual too.

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!

As long as your dog is not ill with microbes (worms,etc.), a disease process ,or a different reason for the diarrhea, if the only issue is a digestive problem, you should see a difference within a couple weeks. We gave our dogs (our dogs weigh between 60-80 lbs.) a 1/4 teaspoon with each of their two meals a day. Our dogs have had no issues with loose stools since.
