Death to the dreadful flea
I have tried many products, spent a lot on these pests. This product works as advertised fleas just fall off dead. This is not prevention, it is a very good remedy to kill fleas within an hour or so. Fleas will get back on, so treatment to the house and yard needs to be done. Product is not cheap but if it means for my loved pet to have relief it is worth every penny! I will be buying this product again definitely.

Actually, works very well and no prescription.
We give our dog one of those pills in every bowl as recommended he nose dives to the bottom of the bowl to chew it up first, He likes the smoky flavor I'm guessing, and the fleas were gone very quickly.I also sprayed the yard with bug and flea stuff as an extra measure.

Worked to get rid of fleas on my dog
I'm giving this 4 stars because I'm not entirely sure how effective it is because I used it in conjunction with other treatments. Also unsure how well it handles serious infestations. My dog had a handful of fleas and it workedNoticed a few bugs on my 25lb corgi. Immediately gave her a bath with flea shampoo hoping that would do it. It didn't, found bugs the next day. Applied a topical flea treatment and applied some clove oil spray that is supposed to kill them. Next day, still had some fleas. My corgi has a very thick coat, and they were all on her thickest hair by her corgi tush so I think they were able to evade a lot of the topical treatments. I ordered this product as a last ditch before I go to the vet for prescription grade stuff. I don't really trust oral meds for flea prevention, especially off a marketplace like Amazon instead of my vet. But I was desperate, I have a fear of parasitic bugs.Came the next day, gave a dose to my corgi and a dose to my shepherd, who I never saw any fleas on but wanted to be safe. Both liked the taste and took it with no issues as if it was a treat. Monitored them both closely over the next few hours for any side effects, neither had any reactions. That evening I did a bug check, found one flea that was clearly expiring. I was able to pluck it off by hand.Next day, couldn't find a live bug on the corgi. There was still some flea scat that I combed out of her fur. Gave her another dose to be safe, as well as her brother. The following day I couldn't find any scat or signs of bugs. Gave her another dose. It's been 4 days now since over seen a bug. I have a few doses left, going to give her another today just to make sure any hatching eggs I missed get taken care of.I'd like to say this product was the reason we got rid of the fleas but I can't be 100% sure so I'm giving it a 4 star. I also had a very very mild infestations, like a couple bugs total. I don't know how this would work for serious infestations.

IT WORKS!! hoorayy
I'm going to be completely honest, I bought this item back in August of 2024, and it's about to be August ...again...so almost 1 whole year went by before I really tried this with my Boston Terrier, Pups. I DID try at first to get him to eat it but he just...wouldn't and I even tried smushing it up into his food and he still wouldn't go for it 50% of the time so I gave up on it and just left it on my bedroom table... up until today. I was so TIRED of the fleas on his body. They don't make me love him any less but the fact they think they just have free reign on his coat.. that I try to clean, and bathe him, and there they come again. So, anyways, I was looking around, and suddenly I get a tiktok ad, this woman was talking about how her dog wouldn't take his medicine unless she covered it in peanut butter and I was like OMG, could that be the answer after all this time?? So, I told my mom, we both went to the kitchen, I got one tiny spoon of peanut butter, lathered the chewable in there, and gave it to him and LO AND BEHOLD, HE ATE IT...no questions ask. Then, I waited. I think it took about 3-4 hours for it to take effect, and lemme tell you, all the adult fleas he had on his body rised to the surface and they were completely still and falling off his body. We were SO delighted. We immediately took him outside and brushed the rest out. Like, guys, this was ONE chewable. One. All this time I thought "man, I spent so much money on this product for nothing.." Anyway, THANK YOU to the creators of this product. Thank you. My buddy got so much relief. (=

Bad side effect reactions; loose stool with blood
Both my dogs, one is a mutt mix of like three dogs; Australian Shepherd, American pit and Border Collie (9 yrs old and 50lbs) the other is a Frenchie (2yrs old and 28lbs) I've been giving them these chewables for about 6 months now and they're both suddenly having side effect reactions.I took them both into the vet on Friday to get them current on all vaccinations and have a bunch of screenings with their new vet. Everything comes back great (blood, urine, fecal, etc). I give them their tablets on Tuesday evening, by Wednesday evening our older dog is exhibiting all the side effects listed underneath the label, Thursday morning I wake up to a mess, from both ends presumably, all over light beige carpet and neither dog is eating, while the older one continues to have loose stool. It happened once before like 2 months ago and then just a suddenly went away.The only thing it could possibly be I'm thinking is this medication. I don't understand why sometimes it affects them more than other times. They're both taking the correct dose for their weight, at the correct time, from the same bottle. (I bought the year supply one). I'm definitely going to go back to topical applications. 83% effectiveness is better than 99% effectiveness with the occasional mornings of scrubbing a 5x5 chunk of carpet which is absolutely ruined from dried bloody stool or vomit now, for sure.(Scrubbed with Dawn, scrub with vinegar, scrub with resolute pet stain remover and this is the best I could get it)

This product really works!
This was a great flea medication when our local area was out of Nexgard. It in fact does start killing fleas within one hour. It is out of the animals system in 24 hours meaning you can repeat as needed. I was highly impressed!
