Review: THIS MEDICATION DOES THE JOB. 100% ….if you use it CORRECTLY - THIS PRODUCT UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT. Within minutes the fleas were dying and YES they are going to twitch,and flick and no they won’t like it,but that is the medication working and within a day we are down 80%. DEAD FLEAS. Now I see alot of people complaining “it don’t work & chemical burns” that is because you are either not applying it correctly,using the whole contents,or applying it directly to open wounds. YOU CANNOT APPLY ANY CHEMICAL TO ALREADY DAMAGED SKIN! If the area that is needing to be treated “shoulder blades” are affected,it is better to use at the nap of the neck. I always use at the nap of the neck because they can’t lick easily & it gets distributed evenly by your cat’s natural grooming. Drys within hours and then you can pet your cat as usual. So if used CORRECTLY and use the FULL AMOUNT per vial,you should have success. Treat each cat in your home as well. Do not vacuum-do not pick off fleas-do nothing until you see the fleas dead dead as all the fleas need to get iarounf the meds. If you vacuum or flick them off they will eventually get back to your cat and will not get the biggest dose of the treatment. Do not bathe your cat until you see No sign of fleas. And DO NOT OVER DOSE. One application is plenty enough. Order two boxes and write the date one month ahead to know when to give the next dose. 100% WORTH IT. My girls are feeling much better and more comfortable and I have noticed less scratching. Again your cat will go NUTS scratching and twitching because the fleas are DYING,they will be fine…..let them do what they do,it will calm down after a few hours. ANNDDD we have a major infestation from the humid summer we are having,so for me to come to write this review says alot. GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER….GET THIS ASAP.
Review: Update: desertcart Resolved Issue! - Update: Product description didnt match product. This product is for kittens. I do believe it would work well for kittens, but did not for my 15lb Maine Coon. Called desertcart Customer Service and they resolved the issue. They are supposedly working on updating product description. THANK YOU, desertcart! **** I applied the topical solution exactly as directed by parting his hair and putting it on his skin. There was no decline in the number of fleas after the first application. I decided yesterday to apply a second dose seeing as he is almost 15lbs. Zero decline in fleas and he's scratching constantly and meowing. He's an indoor cat that got out once. Bedding was treated and still this product has NOT worked for me. I would ask for a refund, but I've used two applications. Maybe I got a bad batch. IDK, but at this point, I would NOT recommend. ***See Update.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why do i have to separate my cats for 24 hours after application? frontline doesn’t state i need to do this.**
A: Frontline also doesn't tell you that you should consult a vet if your cat has organ disfunction, nor that using any pesticide on your cat too much or too often can cause sickness or even death. In fact I don't think Frontline states that their product is a pesticide, but it is. They are the same thing. Same active ingredients. The difference is that Frontline is more worried about profit than pet health.  If your cats groom eachother, there is a chance they would lick it all off eachother. It is difficult to reach the spot you should apply this product. So, a single cat can't lick it all off themselves. I used to work for a vet. I have asked all the questions bc I love my cats. Always keep in mind that it you see a warning to rush hour child to the hospital if they swallow this, your cat is a smaller animal with smaller, more delicate organs that are less equipped for filtering out toxins. And yet, I carefully use such products if I see one flea, bc fleas not only suck blood from your animals, they also often have tapeworm eggs inside their bodies. Animals that swallow fleas during grooming will most likely end up with tapeworms bc those tiny tapeworm eggs the fleas carry will grow inside the cat once eaten. Then your cat has tapeworms. I hope you understand why worms eating your poor pet from inside is a deathly situation. So, I use Frontline or Revolution if I see a flea on even one pet. I don't do it for over 3 months if the fleas are gone. My cats do not go outside.

**Q: Does it leave an oily residue?**
A: It leaves a slight oily line where you put it but the product didn't work for me. Put it on 3 cats and all three still had fleas a few days later.

**Q: Why did the price increase significantly on this product? I almost wrote an astounding review on it because it was useful and inexpensive.**
A: And the dog version is still cheap even for extra large dogs.

**Q: So I am wondering about the amount of medicine in each tub. When held up to the light , it only fills just under half of the 'cap'. Is this correct?**
A: Just three doses.  Works well…..should last a most three months. Just bought our second box.  Pleased.

### ⭐ FLAWED DESIGN, TERRIBLE APPLICATOR
*by P***O on August 11, 2025*

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.
