Advantus (Imidacloprid) Chewable Flea Treatment for Large Dogs, 7 Count, 23-110 Pound

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 worked Noticed 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.

Works great, always a good way to clear an infested pup, however please note, this is not a monthly prescription treatment pill, but a daily otc, if I give my pup this daily and then also a flea bath infestations are gone, and pup is cleared up. However the med is only effective for the time they take it daily, if dog is in a flea area fleas will come back fast. This is not for monthly preventative treatment.

I have a Husky and at least once a year he gets infested with fleas. I decided to try this product and with in an hour I saw a relieve on him. No skin irritation, he is picky with treat and he eat this one with no problem. The price was great and worth it

My dogs love it

Worked better than expected. I need to buy more
