Frontline Plus for Cats - 3 Pack

I have 4 cats with different personalities, and they all share the hate for cones. I always had the struggle with spot on treatments as they are VERYYYYY flexible. I esp find that my cats are sensitive to the smell of Advocate and they often succeed in removing it before. 😭 But it was a great feat to discover that 3/4 of my cats are well behaved this time (some dozed off even)! They calmly waited for the spot on to be absorbed, the smell did not bother them at all. The first 2 hours of application, I noticed that the fleas get more noticeable and mobile. This is the period that my cats tend to groom or itch greatly so I had to watch, play, and shower them with treats to prevent them from scratching the spot.

This is the period that my cats tend to groom or itch greatly so I had to watch, play, and shower them with treats to prevent them from scratching the spot. I treated them by pairs, in one isolated area in the house, one they’re most relaxed to be in. After the spot dries, i let them roam by themselves and I cleaned the treatment area to kill some escaped fleas. It was the best experience so far, and I can finally see my cats tolerating this treatment for long-term.One day after treatment, some grease still remained in the spot where I put frontline but it’s fine. They are not scratching anymore and had more appetite. They play a lot more!

A waste of money.

Treated my two cats with Frontline per the included instructions. After several (3-5) days of relatively calm days, both cats started scratching again. Two weeks later, they are still scratching, and there is absolutely no sign of flea control. Due to the chemicals used in the product, I remain hesitant to treat them again before at least twenty-eight days.I always use Advantage for flea treatment, but on the day I placed the order, it was listed as out of stock. Frontline was listed as available. Assuming that the products were comparable, I decided to try it. What an error in judgment. Thirty bucks down the drain.Ironically, the Frontline turned out to be out of stock also, so the time I attempted to save was moot.

BETTER THAN MOST, but NOT EVEN CLOSE BY PRICE

Evolution happens every second of every day... with that in mind, shouldn't flea and tick meds do the same...? It's become very difficult to find a flea and tick medication that works the way it says it does, plus, worth the outrageous cost that people like myself, can not afford to dish out on a monthly basis.... not to mention families that have more than one fur member are really feeling it. Having furry family members do so much good for their family. Unconditional love, never judge, listen to complaining without bias, never lie to you or talk back. All those benefits for three reasonable, unselfish requirements: Food, shelter and Love....these lovable family members deserve to be taken care of. Unfortunately, because the cost is extremely high, these furballs ... MoreEvolution happens every second of every day... with that in mind, shouldn't flea and tick meds do the same...?

Unfortunately, because the cost is extremely high, these furballs don't get what they should to stay healthy or worse, abandoned! It shouldn't be this way. Vet care is out of control!! Medicine for them is overpriced and out of reach for a number of families. We domesticated them from nature, that makes us responsible for their well being.

Good, if your cat doesn’t have too many fleas.,

yes please if you have a indoor cat, please bath your cat first with flea shampoo, please, then do the bath twice in that one setting. then wait about three days and put one application of frontline on your kitty, but just watch for the flea droppings. if you see scratching, if so wait a week and try again with frontline. you have to keep it up and ahead of those nasty fleas! wash bed linens, etc. vacuum. It's very important , then after that. once the should take care of everything and then on, but once you get fleas is very difficult to get rid of them. if your cat has a lot of them I know I had a cat that I had no idea who had such bad fleas until I saw some flea dirt around where he sleeps I didn't know what to think and then I started looking at him and he had ... Moreyes please if you have a indoor cat, please bath your cat first with flea shampoo, please, then do the bath twice in that one setting. then wait about three days and put one application of frontline on your kitty, but just watch for the flea droppings. if you see scratching, if so wait a week and try again with frontline. you have to keep it up and ahead of those nasty fleas! wash bed linens, etc. vacuum.

It was terrible. It took a long time to get rid of them because he wouldn't let me bathe him, but he would bite me. He was a good cat, but he would bite, I'm no vet. but I do know fleas. I hope this information has helped you. The front line is a very good product.

Hate Applicator

I don't know if this works because I was using it preventatively on an outdoor cat. Not sure if it rid them of fleas or not. However, my main concern is the applicator. It is way too small, and the liquid doesn't want to come out. I followed the directions with all 3 applications and had issues each time. The first 2 times, I at least got it on the cat, but after attempting 6 times with the 3rd application, I gave up and threw away the dose with the liquid still in it. I broke the top and tried to dump the liquid also squeezed the applicator all to no avail. Each time I checked the liquid was still inside swishing around. As I stated, I tried 6 times and by then I myself and my cat were both so annoyed I threw it away with the dose still inside. $11 down the drain. ... MoreI don't know if this works because I was using it preventatively on an outdoor cat.

Is it weird that the liquid doesn't just want to drip out as I would have expected?

I read that cats had died using this, so i stayed

...but then, my oldest cat started having serious flea trouble. He scratched constantly, until his skin bled and sometimes the force of his scratching made him howl in pain and pee himself. He has sensitive skin and we use oatmeal washes to soothe him when his hide gets itchy and we use 'head and shoulders' shampoo for his dry, flaky coat as well. Every now and then he needs some hydrocortisone to help relieve his itchy symptoms even despite the shampoo treatments.We had controlled the fleas as best we could with carpet and bedding sprays and powders, all-natural ones. We also bought flea collars and homeopathic, all-natural flea treatments that you can put on a cat's coat, but all of this just controlled the fleas and did not get rid of them.I had read that cats ... More...but then, my oldest cat started having serious flea trouble.

With an old cat that already had skin problems and a tendency to go through seasons when he compulsively licked his skin raw (vet said its like obsessive-compulsive disorder), I was even more hesitant to put potentially deadly chemicals on his coat that he could lick if he started going through a compulsive spell again or that would irritate his already sensitive skin.But when his fleas started making him howl, scratch and tear at his fur so much that he wet himself, I decided that I had to step up the efforts beyond the homeopathic stuff we were using.It worked great! Im so happy with it. Not only have I not had a single flea jump on me in months, but my little old cat is doing greeeaatt. No more itching, howling, peeing or bleeding. In about a week, the difference was unbelievable. It has been months now and his fur is fine and even thicker than before now that he's not scratching constantly.

It Works but at what cost to your pet

Putting a pesticide on your furry family member just doesn't sound right. They don't want the animal to lick the area but it's ok for it to go directly into it's blood stream transdermally and stay there 30 Days. Are there any studies if the long term affects of these toxins? I find that a flea comb and some quality time with your furry family member is best and the long term affects are a unbreakable bond between you and your best friend. I know we have busy lives but spending an hour grooming your feline or canine is also therapeutic for the you. It's better than putting pesticides on your pet. I'm no vet. Or Dr. So what do I know. I know it's worked for 14 yrs and counting and he never lets me forget his combing time.

Very disappointed!

The shipment of Frontline Plus that I received seems to be doing nothing or very little to kill the fleas. My cats are indoor only so I shouldn't be having a problem. My vet applied Frontline Gold on 7/11. Had never really seen fleas on the kittens but I guess she did. Around 8/20 I started noticing a couple fleas so I ordered Frontline Plus because after reading reviews it seemed it was working better than Gold. On 9/11 there were still fleas and the vet told me Frontline hadn't been working very well. I have to agree with that. I go over my 2 kittens every day with a flea comb especially after seeing them scratch and I always find a couple of fleas and I kill them. But there are always more. I am tired of paying high prices for something that doesn't work. There ... MoreThe shipment of Frontline Plus that I received seems to be doing nothing or very little to kill the fleas.

Works great!

I use to exclusively use the other name brand otc flea medicine but didn’t need to use it year round cause they were indoor only, we usually just used it in the summer.. until I took my cat to a vet and she came back with mutant fleas that were proving resistant to the other.. so I researched and tried this. Been hooked ever since. Starting with a pretty severe outbreak, at first i was skeptical cause they’d start scratching again after only 2 weeks but with subsequent timely uses, and all the usual household stuff like increased vacuuming (had to use baby powder on my carpets thanks to having hermit crabs), we got it under control fairly quickly, all things considered. My elderly cat also had a seizure after her last application of the other product(after YEARS of ... MoreI use to exclusively use the other name brand otc flea medicine but didn’t need to use it year round cause they were indoor only, we usually just used it in the summer.. until I took my cat to a vet and she came back with mutant fleas that were proving resistant to the other.. so I researched and tried this.

My elderly cat also had a seizure after her last application of the other product(after YEARS of no issue, so who knows, may have been a fluke, may be connected), didn’t bother investigating further cause we switched to this without any further episodes. So my elderly fur balls have since passed on and we recently got a couple kittens that also came with mild amount of fleas.. this once again, stopped it in its tracks and it prevented them from spreading, no signs at all after 2 consecutive months.

counterfeit product

the first time I ordered this product it wasn't very effective so I thought I had selected the wrong weight dosage. I ordered again because this seller had the best price, which should have been a warning. apparently according to other reviewers who had similar experiences, this is a counterfeit product. I can assume that to be true from the last time I bought it but this time it never even showed up. that's when I started digging on the other reviews and realized. only buy directly from the store. do not buy from a third party seller because these are apparently no good and they will create a shipping label to make it seem like they've shipped the product but the carrier never actually receives the item and they just count on you forgetting about it and they can ... Morethe first time I ordered this product it wasn't very effective so I thought I had selected the wrong weight dosage.
