Best for stubborn flea problems
348504
After months of flea issues with my indoor cats, and many otc treatments I purchased Frontline Plus. I hesitated as I don't like using chemicals, but things had gotten serious. My 17 year old cat was ill from anemia, the result of flea bites, and the other 2 cats had raw scabbed areas.
I followed the directions carefully.  I did not get the big greasy areas we saw with other products. There was relief in 48hours. We treated every 5 weeks x 3. We had problems recently and restarted treatment. We found that we had some kind of "flea" infestation that seems to center around our wood pile in the basement. The Frontline works so well. I didn't use it at first because of the price. I wasted so much on other products I wish I had started with the best!

My two cats have had a flea problem for months. I have tried literally everything under the sun... home remedies, Frontline monthly, vacuum every day, washing everything all the time, flea brush, baths... nothing worked. I got these flea collars after reading the reviews. TOTALLY WORTH IT. Flea problem completely gone after two weeks or so and my cats have had no skin problems so far (have been using it for 1 month now).

We have a small indoor cat that enjoyed sitting in the open window while the weather was cool. We then developed a flea problem, even with treating the yard around our home. We tried other flea products but none have worked as well at the Advantage II.

After a 3-4 month battle between us, our two indoor, and some very resistant fleas, we have finally found a product that works!

Before this we tried Advantage, Frontline, Sentry Purrscriptions Flea & Tick Spray (which almost killed one of my cats and made me very nervous to try new products!), diatomaceous earth, Capstar, and Bio Spot Flea Carpet Spray. NOTHING worked or kept the fleas away.

I bathed both of our cats, first with dawn dish soap and then a second shampoo with the Ovitrol, then rinsed thoroughly and dried them. I am normally nor so aggressive with bathing, but after such a long battle with the fleas that I made sure to get the cats' faces (just not too close to the mouth or eyes!). Fleas love to live under the chin/neck and on top of the head, back of the neck, top of the tail, and on the backs and insides of the legs, which are all the spots that I made sure to pay really close attention to. I then gently patted them down and dried them with a blow dryer. I was super liberal with the shampoo-- as much as the bottle allowed per the directions-- as I was not taking any chances this time. We felt it was our last hope before having to bomb our house with insect killer.

It has now been a week and I am so pleased to report that the fleas are GONE! I have never washed so many dead fleas off of a cat-- it really does kill on contact! I will never buy another flea product again! A quick bath every 28 days? Count me in! It also doesn't smell like a chemical-- just like a light baby powder. Both of the cats smell incredible and are so very soft. They're also really happy now. One of them slept almost an entire day because she was catching up on the sleep she lost while she would stay up scratching all night before we used the shampoo.

Because this is only a product for your pet, and 90% of fleas and eggs actually live in your carpet and other porous materials, I would highly suggest also getting a carpet spray and doing the following things: vacuum the whole house, move the furniture, and then have someone else spray down your carpets while you bathe your animal(s). While the carpets are drying, throw in a load of laundry if you have any small rugs or cat beds or anything your cats frequently walk/lay on, and leave the cats in the bathroom (with their food, litter, and water) and get out of the house for an hour or so. When you get back, vacuum again (to pick up the dead guys) and replace your furniture.

The cats can and likely will get reinfested if you fail to treat your house. This is a topical treatment, not one that soaks into the skin and disperses into the blood stream which will kill a flea if it bites, or discourages them altogether. However, I will recommend it to anyone who will listen to me.

the best flea treatment available, for the best price possible. although we have found it impossible to completely cure our cats of fleas in this building, this has proven to be the most effective, for the longest amount of time.

I had this recommended by a friend who is a vet. This is the best flea control I have ever used! Hands down! A little terrified of the posion aspect but I changed my clothes afterwards, closed the doors and left the house for a few.

Capstar works great but must be used with a topical flea preventative as well.  The pill is most effective (I've found) in the first 4 hours, the fleas literally jump or fall dead off the animal. Within those first few hours applying advantage, frontline or revolution will keep the fleas from jumping back on to the animal.  This year the fleas are ridiculous and have built up a resistance towards the main chemicals usd in all popular flea preventatives. My wife Who fosters cats and kittens has found that Revolution and capstar work the best.  It also helps to have a pest control service spray the yards and premises monthly or every other month.

When I discovered that one of my cats was gnawing herself silly and then started seeing the evidence on the furniture of fleas, the vet suggested we used a flea/tick medicine once a month on the cats -- forever.
the vet suggested advantage II and frankly - it's worked so well - I'm afraid to try anything else.
Once a month on the back of their necks is all that needs to be done.
There is a slight odor to it and you'll notice the medicine on their fur for a few hours
My cats are indoor cats so I can only speak in regards to that
Amazon is absolutely the BEST price for this medicine (I've tried all of them)

This stuff worked. My dog kept bringing in fleas from the giant hoard of rabbits that live on the grounds of my apartment complex. It was getting pretty annoying dealing with them. After I put this on her twice, she and my apartment are flea-free. Bonus is the fact that she smells overwhelmingly of cedar. I hope you like to be beaten about the face and head with the smell of pungent, pungent cedar. Nevertheless, basking in the stench of cedar is better than battling fleas, plus its natural. I recommend this.

Frontline is the only flea and tick control that works consistently for my pets.  I've tried the collars, sprays and shampoos....but fleas don't disappear.  Frontline is easy to use -- squirt the liquid on their skin at their shoulders.  It lasts a month.  The liquid isn't greasy.  After it dries, you don't notice where it was applied.  Love this product.

This is the brand of flea medicine we have used for years, and would use again. After reading reviews to compare it with others, we chose to try it and have not been disappointed. The price has been worth it to easily have flea-free cats. The product is easy to use and has always produced positive results. Our cats are indoor only, and we've only used this at times when they have had fleas, which is rarely. It always seemed to prevent re-infestation, allowing them to be flea free for long periods of time.

This stuff is magic.  My lab only very occasionally gets fleas so we don't have him on Frontline or Advantage as a regular thing.  But when he does get them, I treat him by first bathing him with Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo, then giving him a Capstar.  The fleas start dropping off after 20 minutes or so and after 2 hours he's completely flea-free.

Then I brush him with a brush or the Furminator.  I'll give him another pill the next day, on the 3rd day I'll apply Frontline or Advantage since you're supposed to wait at least 48 hours after a bath.

We usually only have to do this once a year, in some years he never gets any fleas.

None of the other flea medications that I have used for my 9 cats have been working. I have three cats who seemed to be suffering from flea allergies this year, and we have had several trips to the vet to get steroid shots to relieve the itching, and this was suggested by the technician. I decided to try one at a time after reading the reviews. My first victim for trial was a newly allergy ridden, almost moth like fur where she had scratched much of it off in a three or four day period. The area behind her tail was bright red. Annabelle was usually a very vivacious feline, but had become withdrawn, isolated, and nowhere near herself. After receiving the collar, I did check for "nubs" that appeared during manufacturing and trimmed them off. None of my cats had ever had a collar, so getting it on was the most difficult part. It was on fairly loosely at first, more like a necklace until she could get used to it, and for me to make sure that she was not going to get a reaction. After several days, I tightened the collar and trimmed the tail portion of the collar. After about a week, Annabelle was feeling better, a little bit tired, but not nearly as flighty, and wanting affection, and began purring again. After about two weeks, she began her old trick of fetching bottle caps, and guarding the chickens. All of the sores disappeared after three weeks, without one sign of a flea. I placed my second order for Mouse, whose fur looked terrible. She's a Maine Coon mix, and seems predisposed to flea issues. The product has worked as well with her as well. If these products work as well and as long as advertised, this has been money well spent.

Our dog had a few stubborn fleas that the OTC treatments and powders couldn't seem to get rid of. Within 2 days, he was flea-free, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results.

My 55 lb black lab & heeler mix did incredibly well with this flea repellent. He was having skin issues on his belly due to fleas and this took care of that in under a week. It's been almost 3 months now and still no sign of fleas or itching. For the price, you can't beat it.
