Zodiac Spot On Plus Flea & Tick Control for Cats 5 lbs and Over 4 Pack

Works, great, make sure you use it just a little before one month.

I see that this product does not get good reviews which is why I am writing one. I have been using the Zodiac Spot On Plus Flea and Tick for years on my cat (he is 9yrs old now) and I have never had a problem with it. Of course I don't wait until my cat has fleas to put it on him. I generally start in March or April depending on the weather and put the last application on in November, again depending on the weather. He has never had fleas and he has never had ticks while using this product. Although there might be a better (but more expensive) product available I continue to stick with this product because I know it works for my cat and he has never had a reaction to it. It is also reasonably priced. Yes, it is greasy, but all flea and tick products are greasy. It might hang around a little longer on his fur than other products but after a few days I have taken a wet cloth and cleaned his fur. In my opinion... pet owners should not wait until their pet has fleas or ticks to start the product. It should be started when your flea and tick season starts. Also, not all products are going to work for all pets. Fortunately for me this product works for my cat and I will continue using it until the company stops selling it. I would recommend this product to a friend.

I bought the Zodiac flea treatment thinking it would kill the fleas, eggs, ect. on my three cats, it did nothing but make a huge oily mess on their necks and sides. It also made one of them sick throwing up all over the place. I tried using it for 2 months to give it a decent try but it did absolutly nothing but make a mess! Now I have 3 months worth of fleas to clean out with expensive advantage, instead of 1 month, which I should have done in the beginning!

Somewhat oily on their coats, but works okay.

This product does seem to keep the fleas & ticks; however my cats don’t go outside & didn’t have either when the product was applied. The applicators shaped like cats are cute but left a mess on my cats’ necks. The smaller of my two cats had glopped-up fur on her neck for several days. I wonder if the solution is safe for my cats to lick since it does spread past the area to which generally apply similar products.

My poor cat was suffering from serious flea infestation that would not go away with much flea comb use, shampooing and carpet spraying. Finally decided to try the anti-flea application (nervous about possible toxic effects on pet). Within 6 hrs cat was happy and not scratching himself to death. Three days later he occasionally scratches but when i use the flea comb maybe 1 flea at best. I could not detect significant smell but the cat clearly did not like it . Following the directions he could not-lick it off and did not want to paw it off and then lick his paws. Its nice to not have to de-flee with a comb 5x a day and still loose the battle. Most definitely recommended.

Great price and it works

This is the only kind I buy and it works wonderfully. I take care of stray cats that are well, mine now, and they had fleas and ticks especially being outside cats most of the time. It works really quick and I saw dead ticks on the floor that I didn't even know were on the cats since I checked them every day. But with all animals, they're different, so what works for my animals might not work for yours. I care for 8 stray cats and none have had a reaction to it which is really important because I didn't use another certain brand due to hearing about all the interactions on cats skin due to that certain brands products. I know two people personally who had a cat with a bad reaction to hartz guard. So guard yourself....I recommend this because it is SPOT ON. :)
