10000000% LOVE
I have had SO many issues with fleas this year for both of my dogs. This stuff works like a gem. I will say it does get a little worse about 30 mins after they take it while the medication gets in theior system. Once the fleas bite they get agitated and they tend to be a little more annoying but then it gets way better. My dogs will scratch and the fleas will just drop off and not even jump or will be dead. I cannot say enough good stuff about the product.

Flea eliminator
Works to get rid of fleas better than the other things I've tried. Had to dose him 2 times for a small dog.

Love them but they are becoming too expensive
I was going crazy trying to find something that wasn't as expensive as the veterinarian. I have multiple fur babies and have to buy 8 packs at a time and it has been really convenient and affordable but now the prices are going up aggressively and now I feel anxiety that I'm not going to be able to continue using it.... praying they lower them so that I can afford to keep them.
