Amazon Basics Preventative Flea and Tick Topical Treatment for Cats (Over 1.5 lbs), Fast Acting and Long Lasting, 3 Count, Packaging May Vary

I rescued a couple kittens early summer, and of course they had fleas. I utilize these with positive effect and no more fleas. Purchase again.

This product works very well for our house full of cats. We are right pleased with it and have purchased it many times in the past. It seems safe for the animals to use, works quickly, is easy to apply, there don't seem to be any side effects, and flea control is well maintained.

I want to like this because I have five cats and the price is unbeatable. I can't really evaluate the medicine itself because the application method is terrible. The vials are over sized cylindrical tubes with a small amount of liquid in the bottom. You have to cut the tips off, not snap, and the edges can be sharp and wide and need to be trimmed down. Unlike the brand they're copying they have an unnecessary amount of air in the tube so when you try to apply it quickly to the nape of the neck it shoots out like a blow dart and scares the cat. Furthermore the liquid comes out so quickly it's almost impossible to apply it properly on the skin and it winds up on the surface of the fur, drips down the neck and is dry and gone by the next day. No little oily spot for a few days like usual. All of my outside cats reacted the same way and none of them got their proper dose because of this. Normally with Frontline the cats freak out as soon as they feel the liquid touch their skin, which takes about one second. This blow dart air gun makes them freak out as soon as it's "shot" and therefore the crucial moment of skin contact is gone. Apparently this is one of those things that they will always remember. All of a sudden they're skittish anytime my hands are near their neck. This can be remedied if the manufacturer simply copied the Frontline vial or made a similar vial with much less air in it. I'm still trying to figure out how to modify these tubes to make them work better, adding a small vent hole may help, or maybe even use an eye dropper to apply the liquid instead.

This is the second time I purchased and apply it to our kitties. Neither time it work and the cats continued to have fleas, whether the same day or several days later. Bad to the point that instead of one month intervals we did it two weeks later. This product, although less expensive, is absolutely worthless.

I've used the two more expensive top spot products on my many cats (1 - 5) and even more dogs (5 - 9) for well over a decade with satisfactory results. I saw this a while back and decided to try it on my one current cat. He's a senior, former feral, who has access to both a fenced in "catio" and the outside world beyond, although lately he spends most days sleeping on my bed and most nights, well, sleeping on my bed. This product is admittedly a tiny bit more difficult to use than the more expensive ones but if you own a pair of scissors and have enough patience to apply it carefully and correctly (as in, to the skin not on top of the fur) it works, for us, just as well as the top name brands. Of the only two ticks I have found on him was dead and the other was attached to him two or three days after the day I had missed his dose. I give this product six out of five 🤩 stars.

This stuff STINKS!!!! Smells like a decaying animal. Can't tell if the stuff works or not because the animal I put it on was already bathed and drenched in permethrin the day before. This was meant as a longer term dose Edit: does not work. I tried multiple times on the same animal, never noticed any less fleas. Don't waste your money

Plain and simple it works as well as name brand at a large savings. One thing my cats appreciate (and so do I) is the small single dose size for all cats. My cats range from a 5 month old rescued kitten to and old and very large and heavy but not fat neutered male at eighteen pounds. He hated to sit still for the higher volume doses amazon used to sell for large cats, but he tolerates the quick squeeze and done of the new product. Both of my outdoor cats are sociable, don't mind going to the vet, but the older formula was hated. After I dosed them they would disappear for two days, and often one had slight hair loss at the application site. This newer product is a small dose, and although both cats took off after I treated them, they were both back in a few hours and as sociable as ever. No hair loss or apparent irritation on any of six cats, two outside and four inside. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Great for fleas and ticks for cats, non greasy and no smell
