Amazon Brand - Solimo for Dogs XLarge Dog (89-132 pounds) Flea and Tick Treatment, 6 Doses

So typically, I would spend an arm and a leg buying either Frontline or AndvanTix (Advantage kills the fleas and eggs/larvae plus it also fights off ticks) and I have never diverged from this rule. (You get what you pay for. )Money was tight that month so I decided to give the Amazon brand a try. Especially because I somehow got stuck with a second large dog-the bigger the breed, the prices the monthly treatments are! What was once a three month supply, became less than two. I noticed no icky smell, like with the other two. They tend to have a chemically smell to them and it lingers on the fur. It keeps their back greasy, for at least a day and it can get on the furniture or the carpet or even the worse, the dog can get curious and begin licking it off if it is on there too long.This brand had none of these inconvenient side effects. It wasn’t greasy, didn’t linger and was easy to use. The quicker you can put it on, the less the dog fights with you; making its functionality nearly perfect. I also noticed there have been no ticks on either pet. So for the price I paid, and even though it’s only been a month-so far, so good. I will update in three months if anything bad comes to pass… but so far, I’m extremely happy with this product. Never thought I’d stray from the name brand. But you get tired of paying $70-100 for less than two months. And so for me, this was a no brainer. I recommend anyone wanting to save a few bucks, without losing out on quality and especially if you hate that smell that comes with the other stuff, to try this out for your pet.

Haven't notice any live ticks embedded in my pets. Good product for the price

TOTAL DISASTER! I HAVE SPENT $3K TO GET RID OF ALL THE FLEAS IN MY HOUSE. DO NOT BUY THIS! TOTAL WASTE. I think is the same as Frontline, but have heard that Frontline has changed their formula and gotten bad. All I do know is that i used this stuff and all 3 dogs and my entire house came down with flea infestation. Had to throw away rugs, go to the vet and buy a year supply of the good pills (which are now working), capstar pills, tons of flea spray, tons of daily vacuuming, had to freeze clothes and sofa cushions to kill them. Miserable 2 weeks, so i had to stop and leave this review! All just my opinion of course...

I've used this brand for a couple years now. I administer them basically about every 3 weeks bc it's my experience that these work really well for a good 3 weeks, not 4. But for the price & how well they work , they are well worth it. I've paid much more & watched my fur babies suffer thru the entire month w no relief. So if you're looking for something that truly works, this is a winner. Just don't wait the full 4 weeks to give the next dose. Watch you're pet & you will see them not scratching & biting, & when you see them start to scratch again you know it's time for another treatment, & that's about 21 or 22 days. I'm pleased w these.

Used for years and never seen a tick or flea on any of my dogs.

This product has the exactly the same active ingredients as the name brand. However, it feels like the medium in which the active ingredients are delivered, is different. When using the name brand, you will notice that the medication would coagulate when it dries, whereas this Amazon Basics product remains liquid. I am speculating that function in the name brand prevents it from running off the dog's body. Some reviewers commented that this Amazon Basics product is less effective than the name brand. I am thinking this is happening, because when the user fails to apply the entire medication on the dog's skin and some of it runs off -- effectively reducing the amount of medication that is on the dog's skin. If you take the time and care to apply it, so that all of it is actually on the dog's skin, there should not be a problem. Remember. The active ingredients are the same, which means, the only way this Amazon Basics product is less effective is if less of it makes it to the dog's skin. I will continue to use this Amazon Basics product, I will just have to be more careful in applying it on my dog.

The problem with the reviews that i see is people dont understand how Fipronil works. As a retired 25+yr vet tech who was part of the control group when they invented these products i can say there seems to be a HUGE misunderstanding on how this product works.This product will not give you the quick kill like Advantage does when a flea comes in contact with it. If your pet has horrible flea allergies (like some of the photos ive seen people post here) or is infested then use Advantage (or the generic for it).NOTE: Fipronil will cause an INCREASE in flea activity until they run out of energy and die. It can cause fleas to bite during this excitement period. This does not mean there are more fleas or the product isnt working, its quite the opposite.Why do i use this instead of Advantage ?Several reasons:1) It is held in the sebaceous glands and re-applies itself after a bath, swimming or rain.2) it lasts up to 3 months, a little less if you bathe the pet.3) the s-methaprene an environmental egg desiccating product and translocates to all corners of the room after a few hours, turning your pet into a walking flea egg/larva killer.Tips: Bathe your pet first and let them thoroughly dry prior to application. Wash all bedding in hot soapy water.If it seems like youre seeing more fleas then the product is working.IF you want a fast kill, use advantage or the generic form.If you want a longer term solution that cuts out 3 of the 4 stages of a fleas life cycle, use Fipronil.
