Johnsons 4Fleas Tablets for Cats and Kittens, 6 Treatment Pack, 14D083

I only give 1 tablet when my 2 cats go out, and I see them scratching. It does exactly what it says: it gets rid of fleas in less than 15 minutes and keeps them away for a long time. A box of 6 tablets lasts me between 3 and 4 months, sometimes more. It is so good that I even bought Johnson for my dog, and it works just as well on him. Effectiveness. Highly recommend. Value for money.

This is the only thing that gets rid of the fleas on our 2 cats. We have been using Advantage spot on, but both cats were scratching like mad. The tablets work quickly, so both cats were comfortable and not scratching. I wish it lasted longer than it does.

Long story short, we have two cats and one of them had managed to pick up fleas and pass them to the other. Luckily it was detected early so no flea infestation in the home. I kept pulling a few fleas each day out of their fur using the fleas comb but we needed a solution. I had never heard of this medication before and vets always want to charge £50 for flea treatment… So how affective could a £7 packet of tablets be? Well, the answer is VERY. I ground up a tablet (right or wrong it’s the only way I can get them to eat it) in a creamy cat treat and within half an hour, exactly as claimed I saw things happening. As they state will be the case; The cat started scratching a lot more which is apparently due to the fleas becoming poisoned and wriggling around. Shortly after that, for the first time ever, I saw two fleas right at the surface of the cat’s fur, just sitting there. Fleas stay right near the skin where they are protected and can feed, so they were obviously wandering around as the ‘poison’ kicked in. A day later and for the first time I’m not getting any fleas off of either cat with the fleas comb. Touch wood, they seem to be gone and neither cat has been scratching since. This is an incredibly effective treatment, vastly better than expensive nonsense like Frontline (just impossible to apply well enough to be effective) and at a very reasonable price… It’s actually a really nice change to buy treatment for an animal which works exactly as claimed and I don’t feel ripped off. A combination of diatomaceous earth as a preventative and these tablets as a quick solution if fleas appear is cheap and extremely effective. Brush your cat every couple of days with a flea comb to ensure you catch any fleas early, and have a packet of these on hand… Total peace of mind.

I have a young (10 months old) cat and she developed a flea problem. I had seen similar pills on the net so I thought I would try these. My cat weighs around 4kg. I gave her a whole tablet crushed into some food which she ate easily, then drank quite a bit of water.Within a few minutes she started to look a bit lethargic and lay down , her pupils dilated so she looked like puss in boots off Shrek with the massive eyes. I wanted to keep an eye on her so all doors were closed. After about 10 minutes she went a bit hyper, running around, lying down for a few seconds then running around again.She then started scratching profusely, looking almost confused as to where to attack next. You could see the fleas coming off her, rising to the surface off her fur as they tried to escape. As the fleas fell they could no longer jump, they walked around in a daze slowly dying. She started panting and became very loving, climbing up my back and lying around my neck, with these fleas still coming off her. After a few minutes I took her from my neck and there were about 10 dying fleas on my T shirt. (I'm now itching as I write this) . We kept coming her until eventually we couldn't find any . We fed her the tablet at 6, we gave up combing around 9.30. Her pupils were still dilated the day after and it was probably another day before she returned to her normal self. The panting and erratic behaviour is scary, there's no doubt, but to get around 60 fleas off her it was worth it. Bear in mind we had never seen a flea on her, I was shocked at how many there were. The tablet worked brilliantly but I think I would only give her half next time, (comments on here say 1mg per kilo, tablet is 11mg or so ) even if it meant repeating the dose the day after . My cat had a flea collar on and spot on treatment. The spot on stuff I used was made by a company called Armitage, it obviously offered no protection. My cat now has Advantage spot on treatment and after combing her we found no fleas a week later. I have a cat that barely scratches and appears completely free of fleas....... unfortunately I am still itching from writing this

I've tried a few products to get rid of the fleas but nothing worked ,even the treatment I got from the vets. I was almost giving up hope when I saw the reviews on this product . I thought let me give it a try even though it was doubtful it would work . Well , within minutes of giving it to my cats the fleas were falling off . This is the best one I've come across so far. My babies can rest in peace at last.

Not very effective

I was recommended these by a family member after I rescued a kitten that came with a flea infestation. It was a nightmare trying to get rid of them, I tried those spot-on gels and various sprays on furniture, but nothing seemed to work but these! Within an hour of giving the tablet, the fleas starting dying. When my kitten got up from laying down on my desk, there was many incapacitated fleas left behind, which proves it really does work, and that you need to be constantly hoovering! I hid the tablet inside a meat stick treat and gave one to both of my cat with no issues, so they are very easy to administer. Your cat might get hyperactive and start itching frantically for the first few hours, and this is normal and it means that the fleas are interacting with the tablet, dying and falling off. Also, cleanup is key, these do kill the fleas on the cats, but you must vacuum your house regularly to catch stray eggs. The fleas might return after a week or so (from hatching again), so you may need to give a second dose and continue the treatment as per the instructions. At £7 for a pack on sale, they are price competitively with other treatments, and this has multiple doses so I’d argue that it’s way better, given that it actually works. Worth every penny.

Never usually do reviews but i HAD TO with this one because it really did work and literally still is So I was aware the both of my girls had fleas when I kept finding tiny black specs on the window sills where they like to sit and when wiped the black specs turned into blood I found out this was flea dirt 🤢 i had seen them scratch the odd time but nothing major, like no baldness ect my girls are rather healthy and chubby with beautiful shiny coats and I've always bathed them regular since kittens so I'm shocked tbh But they do go outside sometimes So figured thats where they've picked them up from as we literally have no carpets in our house just hard floor so there would be no where for fleas to nest only on the cats Anyway I literally purchased these yesterday and they came today at 4 o'clock today I gave a tablet each to both my girls i just put the tablet in there mouth and held till they swallowed because they would of found it in food they aren't stupid 🤣 Anyway the box says 15 minutes but my god it started to work within about 10 I shut both girls into the bathroom and left them for 10 mins and went and checked i could literally see fleas dropping on the floor and squirming about there was so many So I left the girls in there abit longer and then I gave them both a bath each and hoovered after as more dropped of when they shook after being towel dried Put the towels on a 90 wash right away after Then when the girls went and lied down I kept checking and more fleas were found they were alive but not jumping its asif there were becoming paralysed I literally poked one and it didn't even jump or move away it was asif the fleas are struggling and I watched as they slowed down and completely stopped moving This is definitely worth the money to me for 6 tablets Im thinking of getting the house spray next aswell and the foggers for extra protection My girls looked at peace finally after that no symptoms at all both relaxed no scratching or licking now Thankyou johnsons!!! I will definitely be buying again if needed
