SENTRY Fiproguard for Dogs, Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs (23-44 Pounds), Includes 3 Month Supply of Topical Flea Treatments

A large old mutt, an Aussie, a YorkiePoo and a Choodle. I actually only used this product for 2 months last Summer. I had no fleas or ticks over that period. I quit applying it too early in the fall and found a few ticks after that. This year I will start as soon as I see bugs and stop only when fully into winter. I take my dogs walking on trails frequently, so they gave it a good test. My primary concern is with ticks as these can be life threatening to a dog, and I did not find one tick while using it. I check my dogs frequently for these blood suckers. I did not have a flea problem either, even after I quit using it in the fall. Perhaps fleas do not come out like ticks in late fall warm spells. I found ticks even in February a couple years ago during a very mild Midwestern winter. Regarding the bad reviews, go figure. My understanding is that this is a preventative, if you have a preexisting problem on the dog or in the home getting that under control can be a more arduous task. However people trash Frontline as well. Frontline is incredibly more expensive. The active ingredient is identical, although I know that does not always guarantee products to work identically. However this worked for my 4 dogs, I certainly would have found ticks on them had it not worked, after about 50 or so trail hikes, including at the large dog park that we go to. Regarding fleas, I had none, but I had none to start with. In my experience all other topical flea/tick treatments have been ineffective, only the active ingredient in this product has been effective. I will wait until the end of this year before I firmly decided that brand is great stuff, if not as good as Frontline, close enough. My new Chiwennie adds a 5th test subject to the mix. However I do feel pretty strongly that it is based on my last year's experience. I realize that Frontline also has a product that kills eggs as well, but feel that if you don't let the problem get started, that is probably not super consequential, not enough to justify the dramatically increased cost of that product.

This has been the only flea protection that has worked for my pets for the last 10 years only compatible to Revolution which is veterinary prescribed only.

I really was thrilled when "frontline"'s patent or whatever expired and generics of the over the counter drug became available at reasonable prices! because "frontline" has been on the market a long time, ive heard of resistance to it from some people. BUT I've found that if I use this product monthly it works REALLY well for my dog, and we live on many acres including woods with deer ticks. of course, the tick has to bite the dog to die from the product, so if a tick is just crawling on her fur i have to remove it, but they also have to bite to transmit disease, and no product I know of will repel ticks without lots of xtra chemicals i don't really want to be dealing with. I also have never seen a flea since using this. good stuff.

I have been using Sentry Fiproguard in my dog rescue for many years and have never had an incident with it. It has not once failed to keep my fogs flea free, and I have had no medical issues with them from sing it. Just today I was talking with another rescuer who used another brand, a well known name, on one of her poodles and it had a seizure. The vet said that there was no doubt it was a reaction to the flea med. I'm grateful nothing like that has happened with the Sentry product. I've never had to waste out a dose because the ampule was badly made and the med leaked out. And I'm grateful for it's lower cost, I go through a lot of this stuff here!

Mi perro lo usa es buenísimo nada de bichos

The first time I bought this product for my two small Chihuahuas I brought two 6 months, one box for each of my small dogs for 3 months. The first box worked very well the first three months on both dogs, I was impressed. When I opened the second box the tubs where all sucked in but I could squeeze out the medicine for the next 3 months but my dogs did not started showing any signs of relief from scratching fleas for the next 3 months from the second box of fleas medicine did not work. I stored this flea medicine in my desk in the house that has AC and Heat and could not understand why the second box all the tubs were sucked in and did not relieve my dogs from Asian. The next 6 month I reorder 2 more boxes 3 months on tub for each of my dogs the second time because the first order one box did work very well. Another note: before I put flea medicine on my dogs (who are not outside animals) I gave them both flea baths once a month each time. The next day I applied this product. I found this product again did not work my dog started again scratching the first month. The second order 2/ 6 months has not worked. I am now convinced this product does not work and my dogs had to suffer with fleas. Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you.

I've been using this product, Sentry Fiproguard, on my dogs for several years now. It is considerably cheaper than Frontline and Advantage.I don't always think it is the most effective product, but neither are the brands made by their competitors at higher prices. Living in damp Kansas, the area is hopping with fleas. You can't stick your foot out the door without getting chomped on. So I have to also apply an insecticide to the yard. And after bathing, which I do for mine every two weeks, I apply a holistic spray by Vet's Best spray with peppermint and cloves to kill off eggs. Sentry's does not kill eggs. This routine keeps mine flea-free as well as the house.My main complaint about Sentry's product is that an expiration date cannot be found anywhere on the product. Not on the outside of the box. Not on any of the tubes. Each time I buy the product, I have to call them directly to ensure whomever I purchased it from has not sold an expired or counterfeit product. It would be great if Sentry could start listing an expiration date on their products. This is a normal thing to do with pharmacological products.
