How long will it take for this product to begin to work?
The product should begin to kill fleas within 24-48 hours but may take up to 72 hours to reach its full effectiveness.

What is the difference between this product and oral flea products?
This product is applied to your pet topically and kills fleas through contact with the product on your pet’s skin, so fleas don’t have to bite to die. With oral flea medications, fleas must bite your furry family member and be exposed to the medication in the pet before the fleas are killed.

No. This will put your pet at risk of an overdose of flea/tick product.
This flea product will kill fleas and ticks for up to 10 days without any other additional flea products.

Permethrin attacks flea and ticks’ nervous systems – paralyzing and ultimately killing them
Piperonyl Butoxide is a synergist that works with other pesticides to increase their effectiveness
