"This flea medication works really good for my pets and the price is great. I will say I think it doesnt last the full month though, but maybe like up to 3ish weeks for my pets but thats okay I just use it every month and keep up on it so its not an issue."
"Terrible result. Toby got deathly sick and stopped eating and drinking. Took him to the vet and he said "this stuff is poison". Don't take a chance, you don't know how your dog will respond to this very potent product."
