I applied the flea medication to my dog today at 8pm. As stated in the instructions I applied the medication directly to the skin from the top of his shoulder Blades to the base of his spine. In less than 10 minutes my dog was visibly uncomfortable. He attempted hide from me and curled up into a ball. Upon inspecting his skin it had turned deep red and had sores at the site of the application.
No other part of his body was affected after the application of the medication. I immediately rushed my dog into the bath tub to remove the medication. The medication made my dog's skin and fur extremely greasy at the site of application. After spending 15 minutes thoroughly rinsing and washing my dog's skin, his fur was still greasy. I then spent an additional 45 minutes washing the medication off of my dog. I had to thoroughly wash and rinse my dog's skin 4 times, in order to be certain that I had thoroughly washed away the medication.
After bathing my dog I applied aloe Vera to the affected area. After an hour later his skin looked much better. This lead me to believe that it was an allergic reaction that my dog experienced. I feel that my dog could have experienced a more extreme reaction had I not been closely monitoring him and reacted so quickly.
I bought this product earlier this week from Walmart and thought I was simply getting a great deal compared to what the vet offers. I was so wrong! As soon as I applied the drops on my week old kitten, she was very distressed and acting very off. I was going to leave her be but my gut instinct was telling me that there was something wrong with these drops.
After a quick search, I found that this kills cats and dogs! For goodness sake, people's adults' cats are dead, what would this do to my kitten?!!! I right away gave her a bath and I am so glad I did that! It's been a week since I applied this, and everyone in the house can still tell that something is still off. It's horrifying to read that people's cats suddenly died 3 months after using this product. Yes, your vet will offer flea products at a bit more expensive rate, but nothing is worse than a dead pet so we can save a couple of bucks.
There are a couple of issues with this product which I can't understand why they haven't fixed it since the recall. The same amount of medication is applied to an adult cat, as it is to a week old kitten! As a scientist, I am appalled that this company can be so careless about this. This is NOT acceptable at all! Don't risk it, and even after giving baths for the fleas, please take your pet to the vet. The fleas are WAY worse after this medication, and her skin is bumpy and raised.
Furthermore, the vet will be applying Revolution or something similar based on your pet's weight! You will get that assurance that the product is given according to weight.
I really hope someone can raise awareness about this even more because this company is killing our beloved pets so they can make money.

Although adult fleas are not seen on the animal, the sub-adult stages eggs, larvae, pupae may be developing within the house carpet, upholstery. Typically, dogs are most susceptible to ticks while outside. Ticks are found in yards, dog parks, hiking trails and anywhere they can quest for a host on blades of grass or vegetation.
Ticks can be brought into the home by pets and humans, so it is important to do regular body checks after spending time in a high risk area. Always consult with a veterinarian before applying flea and tick treatment to a sick, nursing or debilitated dog.
Example: Protection is one month for topicals and seven months for collars. Always read the label directions; typically only one flea and tick product should be used on your pet at a time. A heartworm product can be used but you should consult your veterinarian. Likewise, flea and tick products labeled for cats should not be used on dogs. Pull off cap.
Turn the cap around and place on top of tube. Simply press cap down to break the seal of the tube. Remove cap carefully. Position the tip of the tube on the dog's back between the shoulder blades. Use the tip of the tube to part the dog's hair so that the product will be applied at the skin level.

No joke. My dogs do not have ticks thank you chewy. It is recommended to offer your feline a Silver Vine toy twice a week to keep your cat interested and stimulated. It is also recommended to keep Silver Vine toys stored while not in use to help preserve the effectiveness of the Silver Vine. It is a fun alternative to Catnip especially for cats that do not react to Catnip or have grown bored with it.
Similar to Catnip , Silver Vine brings euphoric feelings to cats, but more effectively. Typical behaviors include rolling, licking, rubbing, staring, purring and meowing, and generally acting playful-- followed by a period of relaxation. Although it is safe, it is still recommended to supervise your feline when playing with toys that contain Silver Vine. Silver Vine is an alternative to Catnip , and has been used as an effective cat attractant in Japan and China for many years. The vine grows in the high, mountainous regions of eastern Asia.
Silver Vine can be found in cat toys. Cat feces may contain a parasite that causes toxoplasmosis, a potential health concern for pregnant women and immunosuppressed individuals. Care should be exercised when cleaning the litter box, including thoroughly washing hands afterwards. At-risk individuals should seek advice from their physicians for more information.
Do not flush litter in toilets or dispose in gutters or storm drains. It was specifically designed to eliminate cat urine odors in and around the litter box. Unfortunately, this is not an easy question to answer. Your cat can have a reaction to the first exposure to a product, to a later application of the product, or never.
While reactions to topical drops are rare, they might result in mild skin irritation. It is important to observe your pet for the first 24 hours and contact your veterinarian if you note any abnormal reactions.
Yes, indoor cats can also get fleas. Please work with your vet so they can determine which product is best to use on your cat. Additionally, vacuuming will help to reduce flea eggs that develop into adult fleas. This will provide you with an additional layer of protection for your cat. Be sure all products have dried before you allow your cat back into the area. It is important to apply the product in a location that your cat cannot easily reach while grooming.
It is also recommended that you prevent your cat from grooming immediately after product application. If your cat does happen to groom itself, you may see some drooling or foaming at the mouth due to the product taste. If these signs continue or become more severe, contact your veterinarian.
If your cat does get a few drinks of the water before you can stop it, this should not likely cause a problem because the bath water will have diluted the shampoo.
However, it is possible to have some gastrointestinal upset vomiting or diarrhea from the soap in the shampoo usually within 24 to 48 hours of the bath. Contact your veterinarian if the signs persist for longer than 48 hours or if they become worse.
