Review: Off brand is great no fleas and no issues - I was hesitant using an off brand for a product like this, there are risks for low quality flea prevention! But I Have been using this brand for about 3 years on my 3 dogs. My dogs have never had fleas. No adverse side effects. They've only had the occasional tick but that's always after theyve been out in tall plant growth areas, you can't really prevent a tick landing on them in that situation but I've never had to pull a tick out of them, we've always found the tick on the outer layer of their coat rather than dug in. Very happy with this brand. Just wish they'd STOP RAISING THE PRICE Review: great product - read the directions and do research. - this flea medication works! a few things to note that i’ve seen in the reviews and it doesn’t seem like people do too much research - not to be abrasive but don’t miss out on a good product because people don’t read. this product is easy to use, effective, and provides protection from all life stages of fleas when used continuously. 1. your dog is still itching after you apply the medication because they have flea bites. they will continue to itch for a few days or weeks until the bites are gone. you can use a oatmeal or anti itch shampoo to help. itching doesn’t necessarily mean continuing biting. 2. you need to get it on to their skin and follow the directions which includes continuing in a line down their back from collar to beginning of tail. 3. if you have an active infestation you should couple this product with a oral medication. it is safe to mix most oral and topical preventatives/treatments. you also need to wash their bedding and vacuum. you can treat these items with diatomaceous earth - put it on bedding or carpet and then vacuum it up. if you don’t feel like doing this just throw the stuff away. you also need to empty your vacuum canister in a bag and take it to the garbage for best results. you should also bathe your dog (ideally before applying this medication but if not, after it’s been a few days so not to wash the medication off), it is acceptable to do this with dawn dish soap which is especially effective for fleas. 4. fleas have a life cycle so if you are struggling with an infestation you probably need to repeat the above directions in #3 every week for about 6 weeks in order to kill the fleas. you should readminister an oral medication once a week as well that kills adult fleas. 5. yes dogs die from preventative flea medication. they also die from tapeworms that they get from fleas and fleas are miserable and pesky. it is a cost benefit analysis. dogs die from all sorts of flea medication, generic, oral, topical, or collars. dogs also die from annual vaccinations. it is a possibility that is listed in the information on this preventative - people simply don’t think it’ll be their dog. one of my dogs gets seizures from oral flea medication which is why we practice prevention from everyone else in the house and we have her on topical only. 6. this is a generic version of a brand name product. it is the same dosage and ingredients as frontline. the big makers of pet medications have spent billions of dollars in advertising and litigation to make generic pet medications difficult to find and utilize. this is worth a try and it’s a great value for the price. just remember before panicking at the reviews that we have a literacy crisis in the US. ## Features -

How can the cat version be safe for cats?** A: Ive done this before and it Will harm your cat. I thought since it had same ingredients that I’d save money by using 1 for my dog & the other two for my two cats A few days to a week later my cats had these huge wart looking things on their face, it scared me but I never thought about the flea med til I had to take both cars to vet. The vet looked at the cat and asked ‘did you use flea med for dogs on your cats’ so he instantly knew what it was, had to buy meds for cats and the vet bill & meds were crazy. Horrible mistake on my part but they were well in a few days. I hope this helps someone to not make the same mistake I did. (I read directions-was nobody’s fault but my own) **Q: where is this manufactured?** A: If country of origin is not on the box, it's because it's made in china. Only Amazon trusts chinese products. **Q: Does this help repel mosquitos? It doesn’t say on the box but just wondering, I live near a lake so mosquitoes are really bad.** A: ASIN : B07NXTTVW5 is the six 0.045 fluid ounce tubes withOUT mosquito repellent, currently priced at $29.99. Ingredients listed are: "Contains fipronil, and (s)-methoprene, the same active ingredients used in Frontline Plus." ASIN : B0842PD15K is the six 0.085 fluid ounce tubes WITH mosquito repellent, priced at $39.99 as of March 16th 2021. Ingredients listed on page say: "Contains Imidicloprid, Permethrin and Pyriproxifen, the same active ingredients used in K9 Advantix II Topical Flea, Tick & Mosquito Topical Prevention and Treatment." Copy and paste the ASIN's into Amazon's search box. **Q: I've heard this will make your dog have seizure is this true** A: My dog did not have a seizure. But I cannot answer that for all dogs. Just be sure to get the correct dose for your dogs weight. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Off brand is great no fleas and no issues *by L***O on April 16, 2026* I was hesitant using an off brand for a product like this, there are risks for low quality flea prevention!

The only hitch is, the packaging is quite finicky. Each dose is in a plastic tube that is difficult to open, quirts the meds out when you don't mean to, and rips through my rubber gloves. It makes the process frustrating, especially with a wiggly pup. I am hoping they upgrade the tubes somehow, but otherwise, great product and great price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Amazon Basics Flea and Tick Topical Treatment for Small Dogs (5-22 pounds), 3 Count (Previously Solimo) - Amazon Basics Flea and Tick Topical Treatment for Large Dogs (45-88 pounds), Unscented, 3 Count (Previously Solimo) - Amazon Basics Flea and Tick Topical Treatment for Medium Dogs (23-44 lbs), 3 Count (Previously Solimo) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/169373513-amazon-basics-preventative-flea-and-tick-topical-treatment-for-dogs](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/169373513-amazon-basics-preventative-flea-and-tick-topical-treatment-for-dogs) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
