"Some fleas became more active and the cat was miserable until I brushed them out or they fell off. The cat felt much better afterward."
"Unfortunately, this medication made my dog vomit within 1 hour of taking it in lethargic for a day and a half afterwards. The medicine also had a not good odor. It Is not refundable due to being a prescription which I understand but now I'm donating to a pet rescue an expensive flea medication."
