Our review looks at features, who should buy it, and realistic limitations based on customer feedback.

Key Features

• Multi-pest protection: Defends against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, biting flies and lice so a single monthly treatment covers common external pests.
• Kills on contact: The formula kills and repels fleas and ticks on contact so pests do not have to bite your dog to die, which helps reduce disease risk.
• Fast action: Begins killing fleas within 12 hours of application, which helps stop existing infestations quickly.
• Monthly regimen: Each topical dose is designed for 30 days of protection and the package supplies two months, making ongoing use straightforward.
• Convenience: The easy-to-apply topical treatment is fragrance-free, waterproof after 24 hours and requires no prescription.

Who It's For

This product is best for owners of medium to large dogs weighing between 21 and 55 lbs who want comprehensive monthly protection against fleas, ticks and mosquitoes without a prescription. It is a good choice for dogs that swim or get wet occasionally, since the treatment becomes waterproof after 24 hours.

Owners of very small dogs or those with a history of sensitive skin reactions should consult their veterinarian before switching treatments. If a pet has previously shown adverse effects to topical insecticides, a different class of prevention or veterinary guidance is advisable.
