Best treatment for my garden cats!!
by Nofar D.from Israelon 20 Nov 2022
Firstly I would like to say thank you for this site that allows me to take care of my outdoor cats and provide them good health :)
So, regarding the product..it works perfectly! My cats almost never at home (they have a whole gang outside) ..I used to buy much more expensive products that definitely didn't work quite as well as this one. No fleas, no ticks , no worms (usually, it did happen once for one of them so I bought a worm treatment also from this site that worked perfectly).
I would appreciate a faster shipment:)

absolutely safer to use than other products that I have tried. Simple to use and apply, and great for peace of mind , especially when Allergic reactions create anxiety and more emergency visits to the vet Now I have two pest free pets, and far more economical than I would have thought.

It is very hard to find a flee and tick product that really works as good as stronghold plus and the price is an extra bonus

Stronghold for dogs

Stronghold does everything the higher priced medication for heart worms does. It essentially treats every parasite and keeps my old girl healthy. There hasn’t been any type of adverse reactions to her or at the site of application. Since I began using it over 6 months ago. She has been heart worm tested during this time and had fecal worm test. Nothing, completely clean. I highly recommend this product.
