TevraPetActispot II Flea Treatment for Large Cats 9+ lbs | 6 Doses | Powerful Prevention and Control

Day 3:If you are like most people, you have three main concerns over flea medication:1. Is it safe?2. Will it kill the fleas?3. How much is it going to cost?We have a total of 9 cats, and we imported a bad flea problem when we brought in a feral mama kitty and her 4 kittens. Before we knew they had fleas, we had an infestation for all of our cats. We placed the kittens with a no kill adoption shelter after socializing them, and kept mama since she was amicable to being domesticated.But that still left us with fleas. One of our cats with long hair had the worst flea problem. I was using a flea comb on him twice a day, and getting roughly 20 fleas off of him per combing. All cats were fighting with itching and biting at their fleas. I tried using the Hartz topical drops, and I might as well have been using water.It brought no change at all for any of the cats.I then waited one month to use this product, and it went well. None of the cats seemed irritated by the drops. A few didn’t like the liquid on their neck, but they didn’t do mouthing motions like they had with the Hartz, which indicates they could taste the Hartz while it was entering their system.Within 12 hours of their individual applications (I staggered them so I could isolate each cat while the drops dried) the amount of biting and scratching at fleas dropped greatly. I did combing of a few of them at the 24 hour marks, and the one long-hair had 2 living fleas that could barely walk, and no other fleas at all. Within 48 hours, there were no fleas found on any of the cats except the long-hair, who had 2 small fleas that were still alive, but could not stand. These were small, and probably had just hopped onto him from the carpeting.I am very happy with the results, and will follow-up with a second treatment at the 30 days mark.One bit of advice—if you have a beard or hair trimmer that is not too loud, and cannot cut skin, I would suggest trimming a quarter-sized spot on the back of your cat’s neck before applying this. (If you can convince your cat to sit for it!) Doing this will allow you to apply the medication directly to the skin/undercoat, allowing it to sink in directly without wicking up too much into the fur. When I did this, the liquid—which has the consistency of a thin oil—sat in that spot and did not run all over. Petting the cat and keeping it in an upright position for a few minutes allowed the treatment to seep and spread at the skin level, which is most effective.A good product at a good price!I will amend this if there is anything negative to report, but I do not anticipate such.Day 7:The fleas are coming back. The frist 1-2 days the numbers combed out of the cats plummeted dramatically. Then the numbers started to rise. I can understand that the flea eggs and larvae that were on the floor and everywhere else might have been rotating in, but that would not explain the dramatic decline, and then rise, in fleas combed out. Figure--if fleas were rotating in, then they should have been rotating in the first 1-2 days as well. Not a problem. But the fact remains that the numbers are going up. The only thing I can think of is that the toxicity to fleas drops off after a couple of days, and thus the ones are simply not dying off as quickly.And after only 1 week, that tells me that by the end of the second week, the fleas will be back in full force, with 2 more weeks before I can treat again.

Effectively rid my cats of their fleas which were getting quite bad at the time. Kept the fleas away until the next reccomended application with no noticeable side effects or discomfort. Decently priced in comparison to other similar flea prevention drops.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Ok so this product did work great but doesn't last full month and takes 3.says to start fully working

Good product great price until it doubled it’s price! Now it's too expensive to use on my wildlife releases. I can not afford to treat 40 young raccoons! Greedy company just priced its self out out of my yearly budget! Too bad money takes center stage over the health of these babies who already have a hard life

Tip: I gave them a bath before and applied it to them before they were fully dried. I feel it worked better that way.I’ve bought some products online before and honestly they didn’t work. My cat will break out the house and would come back with fleas. I used this product last night after giving her a bath and it worked immediately. The fleas I missed were falling right off. I definitely will purchase again

I have been using this product for about a year and a half now I guess. Maybe more. It's been working very well. But this last batch, it has not worked at all. From the moment of retreatment til now, it has been 15 days. Already the fleas have taken over completelyWent from nothing to infestation in like a weeks time after applying the latest batch. The customer service at tevra pet has not returned my call so I had to call Amazon and request a replacement product but they could only give me a refund. So I'm hoping if I choose to buy the same product, it will work. But I'm also wondering if maybe the fleas are developing an immunity to the product? So until the refund gets here I guess I'll research and see if I can figure out the best decision to make. Really trying to hold out hope that this was just a one off incident because other than that. The product has working perfect each timeI would rate it 5 stars, but the amount of useless plastic packaging is nonsense. I'm not sure why you would need individual plastic packaging to wrap up a plastic tube, that is already packaged in a box. Doesn't make much sense. There is to much pollution in this world, so I deduct 2 stars for that. Otherwise, the product is much better than pet armor. The last 3 uses of that has caused an explosion of fleas when there were hardly none, and definitely didn't stop them from laying eggs or biting my cats. I haven't noticed any fleas on my cats after this application, but they are still hatching, I believe that was from the pet armor and will take some time to clear. Please think about Earth mother. This is your home, the only one you have, please take care of it and get rid of the useless plastic that serves no purpose and I will gladly update to a 5 star rating.

I bought this thinking that it probably wouldn't work as nothing else really has, but I'm in absolute shock. Instantly overnight, all fleas are gone from all 6 cats! I swept thousands of them from the floor in the room they're in. No bad reactions whatsoever from any of my cats. This product is worth the very reasonable price. Will definitely buy again. 👍
