It seems to be the best of the choices out there. It's a little bit hard to pick the right spot on the cat for application -- between the shoulder blades, as the instructions advise, and the cat can turn its head around and lick the stuff off. Too much higher and it can irritate the cat's eyes and make it foam at the mouth. Lower down on the neck, but just above the shoulder blades, seems to be most effective, and wearing latex exam gloves will keep your own skin from absorbing it. If you have more than one cat, keep them separated until the Frontline dries, or they'll lick it off each other. Finally, make sure it's really, really dry before putting any collar back on your cat. Wet Frontline can melt the plastic in a collar, causing it to adhere to the cat's fur. Not fun for the cat when the collar rotates. Basically this is about as good a product for flea control as you can find. Not perfect, but a lot better than anything else on the market. Frontline seems to be more effective than Advantage at controlling fleas both on my cats and in my house. In winter it works fine for the entire month, but during warmer times of the year it seems to be effective for about 3 1/2 weeks -- for the remainder of the month, I have itchy cats, but still nothing like they'd be without using it.

Frontline used to do the job, but this summer and last, other than stinging my cats when it is applied, it doesn't appear to do anything. Combing fleas off my cats everyday.

I would say this product will probably work better if you treat your entire house and the pets at the same time. I will try this product again because it did work better than the products I bought from the store.I have 3 kittens. I used this product on all of them and to my surprise it didn't work that well. It seemed to work the best on my long-haired girl kitten because she stopped scratching for a few days but now has started back. It seemed to reduce the population of the fleas but it didn't eliminate them. And I notice that all of them are scratching their ears now. Maybe they ran in there?

I have three cats and I use Frontline for all of them. It works well for two of the cats, but not for the third. I am not sure if the problem with my third cat has anything to do with Frontline, but she still suffers with fleas even after application. The other cats are fine. I will still purchase Frontline and use it.

This is a product that we have used for several years. It has thus far proven effective. We will continue to use it as long it continues to work. I was a little surprised to see the cost of this product go up over $10 from our previous purchase from Amazon.
