Amazon Basics Preventative Topical Flea Treatment for Large Cats (Over 9 Pounds), 4 Count

An employee at an expensive pet store (I’ll leave the name out) was the one who told me that Amazon sells flea medicine. What a hidden gem this product is! I foster kittens, plus we have 4 of our own. So flea medicine is EXTREMELY important!! I’d been using that super expensive product that starts with an F— and ends in Plus. And that product works great! But I’m poor. And there’s a lot of cats. Fleas are gross & when cats groom themselves whilst having fleas, they end up with tapeworms (even GROSSER!!). Plus, fleas and worms can be really detrimental to a kitten’s health. Some I decided to try this product to save some money. Of course, I did a lot of research first & read a lot of reviews. It seems the negative reviews are from people who’ve never used flea medicine or, most likely, applied it incorrectly. But if you e had success with F— Plus, this product will work great & save you a TON of money. As a kitten foster mom, I’m responsible for my own cats, while the place I foster for pays for & treats the kittens in my care. They use the fancy, expensive prescription product that starts with an R—, active ingredient being Spinetoram. Well, in the last year I haven’t found a single flea on MY cats, or the environment. And I’m religious about vacuuming, cleaning, & washing things. So it’s frustrating that I keep finding fleas on the kittens. And I know they are really battling fleas in their facility, even though it’s January!! It’s so important to use preventative topical flea medicine! Please don’t allow your pet (& YOU!) to suffer needlessly. I understand how expensive pet care is, & this is a cheap & effective product to keep everyone healthy & happy!! Just look at the photos, do these cats look like they’re bothered by fleas?! *Don’t forget that the Bubonic Plage was transmitted by FLEAS! lol. I hope this review helps!!

After only about 8 hours, the fleas were dropping off my cat. Either the fleas were dead already or clearly twitching out, about to die. I believe flea meds are designed to attack the flea’s nervous system, causing paralysis and death, and it definitely appears to be doing just that. Easy to apply, just be sure to put the drops between the shoulder blades where your cat can’t lick it off.

When I initially bought this product, I was dealing with an infestation. It was not strong enough to kill the amount of fleas - I have five cats. I had to use a stronger/name brand product instead. This was while I was also treating my house. BUT this product works great for monthly maintenance or getting rid of minimal amount of fleas. If you have an infestation, I recommend using something stronger. If you are using for monthly maintenance, I think it will work great. Two of my cats did have a skin reaction the first time I used the flea treatment on them, but they no longer have any skin reaction after the second application. Maybe we received a bad batch the first time? Another reason I like this product is the fact that I can use the ends of the packaging to separate the fur for easy skin access.

We get fleas in the late fall where I live instead of the summer and all our pets were bothered this year. We are on a very tight budget and wanted something inexpensive that hopefully worked. We treated 4 cats aged 3-16 with this. Tested them with a flea comb three days after applying, and there were no more fleas! I have also purchased Amazon's dog formula that also worked great. No side effects. Could be easier to use like a tube like some brands instead of a hard square does not squeeze out quickly, but that is my only complaint. Smells strong but only for about 24 hours.

This did not work on my cat and ended up with an allergic reaction. Still had fleas a few days later.

We love this brand ; a fraction of the cost of leading name brands. And works just as well if not better. We have had no issues in all the time we have been using the Amazon brand

This stuff is AMAZING! Cannot believe how good it works and it’s only a fraction of the cost of the big name brands. My cat had a flea infestation and I put this on her and you could see the fleas literally jumping off her and dying. Highly, highly recommend.

I’m not completely sure how well this is working. Sometimes my cat still scratches a lot, even though I haven’t actually seen any fleas on him. One thing to mention is that when I got the package, I started using the tubes one by one. By the third month, I realized one of them was empty. It was too late for me to make a claim, so I’d recommend checking all of them as soon as you receive the box. Overall, just make sure everything is full and sealed before you start using them.
