• Position Correctly: Place the tip of the tube on the cat's back between the shoulder blades, directly at skin level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How often should this topical flea treatment be applied to cats over 9 lbs?

Ans: Monthly application is recommended for continuous flea prevention. Applying once every 4 weeks kills adult fleas, disrupts the flea life cycle, and prevents reinfestation, keeping cats over 9 lbs reliably protected year-round.

Q2: How quickly does this flea treatment start working after application?

Ans: The formula kills existing fleas on cats within 12 hours of application. Reinfesting fleas are killed within 2 hours, with protection against further flea infestation lasting up to four weeks from each monthly treatment.

Q3: What makes this treatment effective against flea reinfestation?

Ans: Pyriproxyfen, an insect growth regulator, prevents immature flea stages, including eggs and larvae, from developing into biting adults. This dual-action approach kills existing fleas while stopping the next generation from ever reaching the biting stage.

Q4: Is this treatment safe for cats with flea allergies?

Ans: Yes, this monthly treatment specifically helps cats with flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) or flea bite hypersensitivity (FBH). Killing fleas quickly on contact reduces the allergic reactions that sensitive cats experience from repeated flea feeding activity.

Q5: Is the formula waterproof after application?

Ans: Yes, the treatment becomes waterproof after 24 hours and remains effective following shampoo treatments, rain, and sunlight exposure. However, the cat must stay completely dry for the first 24 hours immediately after application for full effectiveness.

Q6: Can this flea treatment be used on kittens?

Ans: It is approved for use only in cats 8 weeks of age or older that weigh more than 9 lbs. Do not apply to younger kittens or those below the minimum weight, as doing so may cause adverse reactions or potential harm.

Q7: What should I do if my cat licks the application site?

Ans: Proper placement between the shoulder blades minimizes licking. If ingestion occurs, hypersalivation may result. Contact your veterinarian immediately or call the emergency hotline at 1-833-571-1532, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Q8: Can this treatment be used in multi-cat households?

Ans: Yes, it can be used in multi-cat households. However, treated cats must be separated from all other pets for 24 hours after application, and cats must not be allowed to groom each other until the product has completely dried on the skin.

Q9: Should I treat my cat year-round, even in colder months?

Ans: Yes, year-round monthly treatment is recommended. Fleas can remain present or lay dormant even in cold climates and become active when temperatures change. Consistent monthly application is the most reliable way to prevent infestations from taking hold.

Q10: Is this treatment safe for pregnant or nursing cats?

Ans: Consult a veterinarian before applying to cats that are pregnant, nursing, aged, or debilitated. A vet can assess the cat's overall health and confirm whether this treatment is appropriate given the cat's specific condition or any medications currently being taken.
