FRONTLINE® Gold for Cats Flea & Tick Treatment (Cats over 1.5 lbs.) 6 Doses

Nothing else we've tried is as good as Frontline Gold, no matter the cost. The Gold version of Frontline has a 3rd chemical that further helps to block and kill the nasty bugses that wish to slurp your kitty's precious bodily fluids. Our fur babies and our wallets are much happier since we found Frontline Gold at a decent price here (vs the vet). We apply it every month, without fail. There is no scent that I can detect, and my smeller is pretty good. It's easy to apply... if your floof doesn't freak out for no reason like our crazy kitter. Each time we put it on her, she hates it less and forgives me quicker, but for some reason she couldn't stand it at first. But seriously, I'm sure it's a quirk of our fluffball, and not the product. It's dead easy to use and your keyboard loungers will get used to it, I promise.

I don't remember why I decided to change from the product I was using as it had always been effective but after reading about FRONTLINE GOLD, I thought it might be better as they advertise that it not only kills fleas but eggs and flea larvae and ticks. My cat has never been outside but still manages to get an occasional flea or two. Well, dear Lord, what a huge mistake it was to buy this product. The house became completely flea infested!!! My poor kitty was covered with fleas from top to bottom and they were running all over his body and in his eyes. He was completely miserable. I had never seen flea eggs before, but I started seeing tons of them everywhere (especially on my black desk pads). I thought the product was working and that the eggs were dead. NOT!!! Little fleas started hatching and jumping all over the place, even on me. I’m in the process of treating the whole house and have gone back to using what I used before which works... but this has been a costly mistake. I paid $96.56 for 6 doses plus the cost of treating a flea infested house. I might just as well have put water between his shoulder blades for the good this product did. It's too late for Amazon to refund my money, but you can bet the manufacturer is going to hear from me. DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU LIKE FLEAS!

Frontline Gold Flea & Tick Treatment for cats receives high marks from me. I appreciate its unscented formula and ease of application. I have 8 cats that I treat with Fronline monthly.

10 Dec 2024: All four of my cats had a rash of fleas and the vet recommended Frontline Gold to aid in breaking the flea lifecycle, advising that this will take a few months to tamp down. I'm into my third month of doses and am still fighting fleas. The treatment works well on a large portion of the cat's body, but nightly combing reveals lively fleas still about the head, the throat, forward shoulders, and behind the ears. Additionally, I have a big boy (16 lbs) and the dose seems to only last 3 weeks before I begin finding fleas on the rest of his body, but suspect this is because the dose has a lot more territory to cover... Will be trying another solution as Frontline Gold is only partially effective... 31 Dec 2024 Update: I asked my vet if I could step up to Revolution, and they recommended and prescribed the similar NexGard COMBO. Six (6) doses for $130 versus the FrontLine Gold at $90, but the extra $40 was well worth it, as after only two (2) days, not a single flea on any of the cats whereas up to that point in time, I was easily picking off a dozen each night on each cat...

I have used other products. This one clearly works much better than other products I have tried in the past. The duration of effectiveness, at least in my home, is about three weeks. Then I have to hit the cats up again. It is likely there are some pernicious flea eggs around. I just treated my cats for the third time. I use flea powder on couches and rugs; and wash blankets. But they still come back. I wish this island had flea bombs. I'll keep at it for a while, and maybe with luck eventually the problem will diminish for good. For now, these work better than all other brands; and seem to have a duration of about three weeks. The cats don't seem to mind. I used one different product in the past, and one of my cats didn't feel very well for about day after treatment. However, this product has not cause any visible negative effects on either cat.
