Preventative Flea and Tick Topical Treatment for Dogs, X-Large (89-132 lbs), Fast Acting and Long Lasting, 6 Counts, Packaging May Vary

The problem with the reviews that i see is people dont understand how Fipronil works. As a retired 25+yr vet tech who was part of the control group when they invented these products i can say there seems to be a HUGE misunderstanding on how this product works. This product will not give you the quick kill like Advantage does when a flea comes in contact with it. If your pet has horrible flea allergies (like some of the photos ive seen people post here) or is infested then use Advantage (or the generic for it). NOTE: Fipronil will cause an INCREASE in flea activity until they run out of energy and die. It can cause fleas to bite during this excitement period. This does not mean there are more fleas or the product isnt working, its quite the opposite. Why do i use this instead of Advantage ? Several reasons: 1) It is held in the sebaceous glands and re-applies itself after a bath, swimming or rain. 2) it lasts up to 3 months, a little less if you bathe the pet. 3) the s-methaprene an environmental egg desiccating product and translocates to all corners of the room after a few hours, turning your pet into a walking flea egg/larva killer. Tips: Bathe your pet first and let them thoroughly dry prior to application. Wash all bedding in hot soapy water. If it seems like youre seeing more fleas then the product is working. IF you want a fast kill, use advantage or the generic form. If you want a longer term solution that cuts out 3 of the 4 stages of a fleas life cycle, use Fipronil.

I live in WA state and we only really have to deal with fleas and ticks in the summer time. I am usually spending $100's of dollars every year on expensive flea treatments for our dogs. I found this on sale and after reading the reviews, thought I would give it a try. I have 2 large Cane Corso's and 2 small PomChi's. One of my small dogs has really bag skin allergies and is allergic to harsh chemicals, causing him to have hair loss, hotspots and red/irritated skin. He also has Intestinal Bowel Disease and is allergic to almost everything! I was SUPER hesitant to use this product on him. I started this treatment on all 4 of my dogs roughly 3 months ago. Upon opening the product, I noticed right away there was no harsh chemical smell like I have gotten from other products in the past. Applying it to my dogs was super simple as you just use the dropper to place the product at the base of the neck, right between the shoulder blades. It dried within a hour and my dogs didn't notice a thing. It had ZERO negative effects on my special needs dog, causing no skin reactions what-so-ever! He's bathed in a medicated shampoo weekly and so far, the flea treatment still seems to be working. Not even a fly will land on my dogs. They are now due for a second treatment and I am beyond pleased with the longevity and effectiveness of this product. I will keep this on my subscribe and save. Glad I tried it out!

Did not work well. Dog still had lots of fleas. Lost hair in areas placed. Not sure if just a bad season for fleas..no smell

I’ve been using this on my dogs for years. It’s effective.

I have no clue how this has the reviews it does. I have owned dogs for years and years and tried so many different treatments and this is the worst yet. It smells absolutely disgusting but I could deal with that if it killed anything other than my hopes and dreams. It does not work. It doesn’t work instantly. It doesn’t work after several days (like some reviews claimed). It doesn’t work. Super frustrating to find out after buying two boxes to treat the different size dogs I have. Don’t buy in hopes it will save you some money. It’s now going to cost me more than if I had just gone with the stuff I know works.

I tried the Amazon Basics Flea and Tick Topical Treatment for my large dogs, and my experience has been a bit of a mixed bag. The application process was straightforward—just part the fur between the shoulder blades and apply the solution. It didn’t cause any irritation, and the product was easy to use. However, the effectiveness was inconsistent. While some users reported success, I noticed that the fleas persisted even after application. Another reviewer noted, “Works great - is kinda stinky for a few minutes but works. We live in the woods and ticks are a thing of the past.” On the positive side, the product is a cost-effective alternative to more expensive brands, and some users found it effective for their pets. If you're looking for an affordable option, this might be worth trying. However, if your pets are dealing with a significant flea or tick problem, you might want to consider other treatments.
