ShieldTec Flea and Tick Protection for Pets

Lisa Broomall: This product really works. We gave to two stray cats that have moved in on our back deck. No more scratching, no more tick's. We were purchasing from Rural King, but they ran out. The price of them here was a bit higher, but had to have it. We put it on, a clear day without rain. The Protection really works and we are sticking to this brand.

Cj: So I've been buying this product for about three months now and I wanted to wait to write a review to see how it did and I can honestly say that this stuff works very well the Price Is Right compared to some of these high value products that don't work thank you for your great product please don't change it

Susan: I have a mixed review, I have 2 cats. I used it the same way on both… it worked just fine on the shorter hair cat, but my younger longer hair cat it really didn’t work, I did place it in the same spot, and let it dry as it said, kept them separate. And made sure it was where and how it was to be placed… you would think if it worked on one it would work in the other since it was from the same package… but my recommendation is if you have a short hair cat you will have decent luck… long hair, you may want something else like a flea dip or a pill.

Eugenio Sanchez MedinaEugenio Sanchez Medina: My kitten was a stray cat that had minor fleas. Before applying this product I take him a bath and comb them out. I allow him to dry completely and apply this product. Within a few hours I notice the fleas actively trying to run up towards his face. Usually the next day he stops itching and scratching and no sign of fleas. It seems to be working very well. However, I did apply this treatment on May 26th and I am writing this review today on June 20th because I notice fleas coming back and had to do the monthly treatment a few days earlier. This product seems to be safe for the most part I did not notice any irritation to his skin or fur. I will definitely order this again.

Peggy: Two stars because I do think it worked on the few fleas they had. Will update if I catch sight of any in the near future though.

Onto the review..

My cats hated this stuff the second I applied it and seemed very irritated by it compared to other topical products we've used in the past. I'm not sure where the reviews about it being less oily are coming from (the same place most positive lies come from on Amazon, I suspect), because it took nearly a day for it to dry, leaving my cats' fur clumped up and wet at the site of application.

The long drying time bothered me quite a bit as I have two cats who are very close and bathe each other and I worried they might lick the application site trying to help each other out--thankfully they did not.

When it finally did dry, it left their fur feeling very rough and unpleasant to the touch, almost like there was old hair gel in there. Not a fan, and I gotta think they probably aren't either.

My biggest issue with this product, however, is that within a few days one of my cats developed a bald patch at the site of application, accompanied by a light rash. I have never had this problem with any other topical...
