TevraPet Actispot II Flea Treatment for Large Cats 9+ lbs | 6 Doses | Powerful Prevention and Control

Day 3:If you are like most people, you have three main concerns over flea medication:1. Is it safe?2. Will it kill the fleas?3. How much is it going to cost?We have a total of 9 cats, and we imported a bad flea problem when we brought in a feral mama kitty and her 4 kittens. Before we knew they had fleas, we had an infestation for all of our cats. We placed the kittens with a no kill adoption shelter after socializing them, and kept mama since she was amicable to being domesticated.But that still left us with fleas. One of our cats with long hair had the worst flea problem. I was using a flea comb on him twice a day, and getting roughly 20 fleas off of him per combing. All cats were fighting with itching and biting at their fleas. I tried using the Hartz topical drops, and I might as well have been using water.It brought no change at all for any of the cats.I then waited one month to use this product, and it went well. None of the cats seemed irritated by the drops. A few didn’t like the liquid on their neck, but they didn’t do mouthing motions like they had with the Hartz, which indicates they could taste the Hartz while it was entering their system.Within 12 hours of their individual applications (I staggered them so I could isolate each cat while the drops dried) the amount of biting and scratching at fleas dropped greatly. I did combing of a few of them at the 24 hour marks, and the one long-hair had 2 living fleas that could barely walk, and no other fleas at all. Within 48 hours, there were no fleas found on any of the cats except the long-hair, who had 2 small fleas that were still alive, but could not stand. These were small, and probably had just hopped onto him from the carpeting.I am very happy with the results, and will follow-up with a second treatment at the 30 days mark.One bit of advice—if you have a beard or hair trimmer that is not too loud, and cannot cut skin, I would suggest trimming a quarter-sized spot on the back of your cat’s neck before applying this. (If you can convince your cat to sit for it!) Doing this will allow you to apply the medication directly to the skin/undercoat, allowing it to sink in directly without wicking up too much into the fur. When I did this, the liquid—which has the consistency of a thin oil—sat in that spot and did not run all over. Petting the cat and keeping it in an upright position for a few minutes allowed the treatment to seep and spread at the skin level, which is most effective.A good product at a good price!I will amend this if there is anything negative to report, but I do not anticipate such.Day 7:The fleas are coming back. The frist 1-2 days the numbers combed out of the cats plummeted dramatically. Then the numbers started to rise. I can understand that the flea eggs and larvae that were on the floor and everywhere else might have been rotating in, but that would not explain the dramatic decline, and then rise, in fleas combed out. Figure--if fleas were rotating in, then they should have been rotating in the first 1-2 days as well. Not a problem. But the fact remains that the numbers are going up. The only thing I can think of is that the toxicity to fleas drops off after a couple of days, and thus the ones are simply not dying off as quickly.And after only 1 week, that tells me that by the end of the second week, the fleas will be back in full force, with 2 more weeks before I can treat again.

Works. No doubt the meds last 30 days. Not one second longer.But works.Both cats one 10+ pounds. One 6 pound. Had no reaction. And both clearly enjoyed 30 days flea and tick free. I live in deep woods.Good deal.

I was hesitant to purchase this flea treatment because I wasn't sure about the brand name.A few hrs after I applied the treatment nothing was noticeable with the fleas dying. (My cats were infested with fleas)I decided to give it another day, that's all it needed! no fleas to be found!! Clearly would have like to have it work right away but I was ok with it working a few days into treatment. I will definitely be buying again!!No reaction, no smell.

Worked for all 5 of my cats! We took in a cat that was outside and it went downhill since lol… I searched for like an hour to try and find a flea medicine solution that wasn’t so expensive but not cheap crappy stuff and I took a chance getting this one plus I also bought the other flea medicine called “Capstar” it’s a pill you give them smashed up with a little wet cat can food so the cats don’t even know they are taking the pill. While they are eating the pill in the food I put this that I am reviewing on their neck. You have to make sure to get it on several spots on the back of their neck and “on the skin” or it won’t work if it’s just on the fur, you have to get it on their actual skin in a few spots on the back of their neck and it should work like it did for my cats. I did the combination of the pill and the neck stuff because that’s what the vet did when we went there a while ago from having rescue cats at the time.I’m not sure how good it will work without the 1 day pill that kills all the fleas instantly that only works for one day but forsure if you do both it should get rid of the fleas completely after maybe a few days. I also used a flea brush everyday for a min to get any extra flea eggs off just to help even more. Get a cup of water and put a little dawn dish soap in it and whatever comes out on the flea brush put the stuff in the cup because “dawn dish soap” also kills fleas instantly like 2.5 seconds lol.Hope this helps someone that is trying to just find a solution without taking all the cats to the vet with a big bill that isn’t affordable. Oh and also VACUUM and change sheets, clean the cat towers and bed ect to get rid of any flea eggs that are left in random spots. It’s worth it once they are completely gone!!

Sadly this is not working well for my 3 felines . I've given them 3 doses now and still have fleas, particularly in their feet and face . Really hoping on this particularly for the great price.

Excellent product. Easy to apply, even with my anxious cat. No sign of irritation, or allergic reaction, but even better, no sign of fleas or ticks. No bad smell while applying and easy no drip application
