TevraPet Firstact Plus Flea and Tick Topical for Cats Over 1. 5 pounds, 3 Count

So I bought this because I needed to try something different for my cat to treat fleas. The product I was using at the time wasn't lasting a full month. My cat is light colored so she gets fleas worse than our darker furred pets. Having used Frontline Plus in the past I know that if you're having a difficult time controlling the flea population and you're doing all the right things the chemicals used in both products can be used twice a month for a short time. It had been a while since I used this kind of flea medication so I hoped they hadn't developed an immunity to it like fleas often do. For the number of doses you get for the price I thought I'd try this product. So I put a dose on her as directed. A few hours later she seemed to not be scratching or chewing at her fur as much. I thought, "okay this might work". It didn't. The next day she was back to scratching and chewing her fur but this time it was worse. I thought that this was a sign the fleas were dying and it would subside in a day. But the next evening while she was laying next to me, exhausted from the fleas attacking her, I noticed about 4 of them on her face. I quickly got to work to remove them and noticed that the amount of fleas she had on her was twice the amount before I applied the product. Eventually they were everywhere and I was heartbroken. It was like I had put an open for business sign for fleas on my cat. I spent the next few days going the old school route with a flea comb and soapy water. I had to do this 2 or 3 times a day to keep the population at a reduced number. After about a week or so I was so desperate I ended up getting my previous flea medication and putting that on her after giving her a bath and comb. I hoped it wouldn't harm her. She was a little less energetic than normal for about a day and a half. I continued with the flea comb as well as treating the home. Eventually I got the flea problem mostly under control. It did take time to get back to a smaller number after using this product. I don't know what it is about this flea medication but it was horrible. The entire experience was a nightmare. I wanted to return the rest of the vials but was told I couldn't because the company that makes it wouldn't allow it. I kept fighting until I eventually received a refund. If you care about your pet do not buy this product. Stay away and look elsewhere. It's not about price for I've used cheaper alternatives before without having the same issues. It's simply a bad product.

This has the same exact ingredients as the kind that I’ve been spending outrageous amount for at the vet with a prescription for. My cat super sensitive and normally starts to foam at the mouth if I use the cheap stuff. It’s super easy to use. Just be careful because sometimes if you don’t have it all the way to the bottom it’ll come out when you cut the tip. My cats don’t really mind it. There’s no major side effects but for a couple of days it does leave like a greasy spot along the back of their neck. I can’t really smell it either, which is good but it works. We have seven cats so we have to do what we can to make sure nobody gets fleas in the house and it seems to work. I’ve been using it since spring and it does the job just like the expensive stuff.

This worked really well on our cats! We have multiple cats with different coat lengths, and I’ve been impressed with the results. Our long-haired cat had the biggest flea problem, and now I’m not seeing any fleas on him at all. That alone made me feel like this treatment was worth it. It was easy to apply and seems to be doing exactly what we needed it to do. So far, I’m very happy with the results and would definitely purchase it again.

This is the 1st time I've used this brand, but it seems to be working as good as the more expensive ones from the vet.

Good to have
