Highlighted Reviews

— Gabriele

"We had a flea problem in the late summer. Both my dog and cat were suffering from flea bites even though they were on preventative treatments. I found out about this product on line, and decided to give it a try. It actually worked, within a few hours the fleas were gone and no more scratching!"

— McKenna

"I bought two of the 6 packs and it didn't even help one of my dogs that I was trying it on. Didn't kill any or stop any new ones as a daily dose."

Bottom Line

If you're dealing with a severe flea problem and need a quick solution, this product might work for you. However, be prepared for the possibility that it may not be effective for your pet, and consider other options if it doesn't work.
