Hello, I am using Frontline Plus on my cats. One of then has a flea allergy develop about 1yr ago. She has started going out more, sitting in the garden with her sister. She is scratching much more now. Are there better treatments for fleas that woul
I would personally use one of the oral pills like Comfortis or Bravecto. I like Bravecto because it's newer and the fleas haven't been exposed to it yet so there is no resistance. It is also nice because one dose lasts 12 weeks. All the other products only last 4 weeks. https://us.bravecto.com/for-cats.aspx The Adams spray does not work for long term use and you are just dousing her chemicals every time you use it. It is not bad for spot treatment here and there but I would not use it all the time. I would recommend you use this Flea/tick mousse maybe 1-2x a week. It is easy to apply and not as "chemically" as the Adams Spray. It is more natural. https://www.chewy.com/vets-best-waterless-flea-tick-cat/dp/148050 Also, I know you said you treated the house which is great but I'm not sure what product you used so I will recommend one. You also need to treat the yard. I like this house spray. I find it works the best: https://www.chewy.com/virbac-knockout-es-area-treatment/d

Hello! I bought Adams plus flea and tick spray to fight a flea problem I’m trying to overcome. I was told this product is safe for use on home surfaces if you have cats, so long as it’s allowed to dry before cats come into contact with it, due to pyr
Hello. Porous versus solid surfaces will vary, but if you do not apply it too heavily, your carpets & furniture should dry within an hour or so, depending on temperture in your home. If you can set up fans, this will speed drying. Then, just use your hand to judge how dry the cloth surfaces are. Once it feels dry to your hand, your kitties can enter the room. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Just bought Adams Pentagon flea and tick spot on for dogs wondering if it was safe because she's 11 years old about 18 to 19 lb
It appears to be a canine product, although for a smaller weight catergory, so should be ok. Do not give it to cats however! I do prefer Advantix and prescription flea/tick products, however, due to the reactions seen with Adams and similar products.

How long after I treated my cats with Adams spot on flea/tick (Methoprene, Etofenprox) can I apply Advantage II (Imidacloprid, pyriproxyfen)? I had only one Advantage left so 2 of the 3 had Adams instead, but it is not working for them (one stopped s
I would say 14 days but you should call Adams as they are most familiar with their products. heir website states that it depends on the product you are switching to. Please contact the Adams consumer response line at (800) 234-2269 for more information. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

What are the best flea and tick medication for our 16 pound mixed breed cat? Thank you!
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! In my opinion, the best two flea and tick preventative medications are Bravecto and Frontline plus. Any of those would be good options for him. Good luck and have a good night!
