Highlighted Reviews

— xACz

"My vet recommended this product instead of advantage multi; It is the same seller and product but without the "flea" protection. The flea protection is not as effective as in the past. So, I now use this as a heart preventative with SIMPARICA for flea and ticks prevention."

— Oscar

Bottom Line

Potential buyers should consider the mixed reviews and the reported scent issue before purchasing.
