TevraPet Activate II Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs | 4 Count | Extra Large Dogs 55+ lbs | Topical Drops | 4 Months Flea Treatment

What a life saver! My dogs ended up getting fleas so I immediately took to Amazon in search for the best product that was affordable but still effective. I found it! This product began to kill the fleas within 24 hours. By the second day, I saw fleas crawling to their final resting place. It did not irritate my pitbull's sensitive skin. It is easy to apply and the odor is minimal. Never let cats get the dog flea treatment on them, keep cats away for at least 24 hours.

I have really gotten tired of paying the vet so much for flea tablets so I decided to try this Activate II product. It says comparable to advantix II so I figured I would get it and see. I actually was surprised that it seems to work after only a week of use. It's easy to apply and I don't have to fight with my pup to take pills so it's a win-win for both of us. The product goes on easy and doesn't have a bad smell. I didn't notice any side effects and I have enough in the box for 4 months. So with the cost being so much less that what the vet charges I will definitely continue to use this.

The product worked great start with but after about the first week it started losing it as effectiveness and my dog started getting fleas and ticks again so I am going to have to treat them earlier than 4 weeks because they're already infested again I put a four but it's more like probably a three killed ticks and fleas instantly soon as they got treated but did not work like it says

After just 1 day, I see an major improvement.Our dogs are very important companions to us. I was almost hesitant to purchase the product, but after reading several reviews here and looking at the mfgs. website. I decided to give it a try. I usually want more feedback before trying a product on my beloved dogs. I am glad, that I decided to forge ahead and be the one to give feedback for everyone else.The wife and I have multiple huskies whom we share our life with. I certainly love the price point. It works just as good as other name brands. I say other name brands as this product will certainly be a name brand, and it is one we now trust. My huskies tolerated this product very well, and showed no signs of any reaction at all. Well except for a major reduction in fleas. After 24 hours, I checked our dogs and I couldn't see any visible movement. I know its not a 100% product on the first go and it will take few applications to completely stop the cycle. With further applications for preventive too. That price sure makes it easy to provide those. I/we literally cut our monthly medication bill in 1/2. So we will 100% be purchasing this product again.Being basically a rescue, (our vet classifies us as one) due to taking in multiple huskies over the years. We have tried to be frugal with some things but food and flea medicine are things we don't cut corners on. I would recommend this to any rescue groups out there whom may have tight budget constraints. We know the more you can control costs the more you can help other animals.Being as how passionate we are about our pups, I will be sure to update this review as needed.** edit:I wanted to notate we have used this on dogs as young as ~1 year, to senior dogs 13+ years of age. All have faired well and tolerated the medication well.Its now October 2017, and we are well outside our normal flea flare up season. The pups are doing well, the medication continues to be a vital part of our medication regimen. I saw no ill affects at any time in its use across as many as 13 huskies. Yes we have 13 huskies as pets. They are all rescues and not used for breeding purposes. Actually all are fixed.Edit 2:Its now December 2017 and we are still continuing to purchase Activate II, everything is still going well for our huskies.**** I will continue to suggest this as an alternative to some of the other higher priced medications. Having said that all users should be on the look out for adverse reactions when any medication is given. I would recommend placing an animal poison control number in your phone. Remember that pets are just like us, I may react differently to a medication, that you can easily tolerate. The same goes for the pets. The vast majority of the population may likely see no ill effects, but you have to be prepared if they are in the minority group and cannot tolerate a medication.

Update: 2025 is a very bad tick year and I've had to remove one tick and found a handful on my dog's coat before attaching themselves. I've not decreased my previous 3-star rating for this, but now that I've been using the product a couple of years I have found my dog becomes very loopy on the day of application :( In truth, I wish there was a better alternative than liquid absorbed into their blood stream and I don't like breakaway collars because too many things can go wrong with a collar.I switched from another leading brand 3-month chew to this topical brandy for safety purposes. I've not seen a flea or tick since I began using it five months ago (repeat buyer here). Positives - It's less harmful than any chew. It's cost effective. Negatives - it can temporarily burn your dog's skin. After the third use I noticed my dog itching. I checked his skin and found red patches. I showed my vet and he said the topical was slightly burning his skin (which I found out is not uncommon with topicals - ugh! Topicals and Internals each have their drawbacks). Month four and five we are back to normal. It is NOT easy to apply to a dog with an undercoat. It smells and because it needs to dry for a good amount of time we won't pet our dog on the back for 24-28 hours after application. You can't let them get wet (think rain, snow, groomer/bath) for 24-48 hours after application. I miss the ease of the chew, but even with the negatives with Activate II it is much safer for my dog!

This was very easy to apply, very effective and gentle on the skin. The price point was a great deal!

Took my dog to the dog park and brought fleas back! Advantage was not working so I switched to this. Within the week I see nothing so far on my three dogs and one cat. I will update on a few more weeks! The only thing I was not a fan of was the opening of the vile. Usually you just break them but had to use scissors, but that also means they were sealed well so I can manage! I DO recommend this !
