Amazon BasicsFlea and Tick Topical Treatment for Small Dogs (5-22 pounds), 6 Count (Previously Solimo)

Purchased for a friend that was low on funds and took in a dog . I was pleasantly surprised to see the ingredients were the same as a brand name ! I will be now purchasing these for my own dog as well . Very effective on flea prevention & treatment, no skin irritation, and no fur loss noted . Great for any pet owner, especially on a budget.

I know many people have different mixed emotions on this brand, however, this has worked well for my animals. I use it as directed and I have never had any issues with fleas or ticks. None of my dogs have ever broken out or had a bad reaction and it seems to work just as well as the name brands that you pay triple for.

I'm so angry at Amazon and they've caused me to have to remove ticks and get medicinal meds because this product doesn't work at all! I've NEVER had a problem with the topical meds for ticks and fleas on all of my dogs throughout the years, this is the first time I literally had a problem. The first time I used it, I swore it dried to fast so the second time I put it on, I timed it and the product dried before a half hour was up – NO product like this dries that fast, I asked both Petco & Petsmart employees and they said "that sounds like a bad product" and when asking the vet, they told me just to go back to my old meds because they wouldn't trust that just on that fact alone. And during the last two months of use, my poor pup has suffered so much itches and I had to pick so many ticks off him while we walk - I can literally see them jump on him while walking and remove them instantly, but I never had that with the other brands. It also looks like there's hardly any product in each tube - it comes out like water and it dries within ten minutes! Just ridiculous - I don't like that I have to wait a whole day to pet my pup on the upper back area when I put the good topical meds, but at least I know it's working; Amazon basically is selling a dangerous product that doesn't work. Very upset because this is my baby, a family member - it's not like the wrong size t-shirt or something. And then buying some of the medicinal shampoos on here became a fiasco too and just made the whole experience even worse. I just highly recommend you don't buy this med if you love your pup because it will not protect them and no way is it waterproof, I just know that is a bogus claim after all of the other issues above. Very upset and hope this helps prevent other pups from getting sick.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great product, I’ve bought it about 3-4 times right now. Good price and ACTUALLY works.

I've been using this flea and tick treatment on my dog for several years and it works just as well as the stuff you'd find on the frontline of flea and tick repellants. Very simple to apply (start at the nape of the neck and then heads towards the tail until the vial is empty). No adverse effects noted from application - no itching scratching, rash, hives or otherwise. My dog has been, and remains bug free and that's good enough for me!

We were looking for something to use on our puppy who was infested with fleas when we got her. At first this worked great, she didn’t seem to have any fleas so we were very pleased with the product. But the effects only lasted about 3 weeks and then she seemed to have fleas all over her once again. In the products defense, it does say “up to 30 days” but if I’m putting something like this on my dog to keep away fleas and it says to only apply every 30 days, I don’t want to have a week of lapse in protection. We did end up reapplying it a few days after the 3 week mark after reading other reviews and answered questions from others who had similar experiences. The results from the second application were lacking. The fleas might have diminished a little but were still very easy to spot and I don’t think I’m even going to bother using the 3rd dose. This product might be good as an added layer of protection but it’s not a good first line of defense in my opinion. It is a cheap alternative to other flea topical treatments though, so if someone was wanting to try it, I’d recommend using a flea shampoo first and then apply the topical and continue to be proactive with using sprays in the house to keep the fleas away and maybe even a flea collar (definitely check with your vet first about using the combination of products).

Works great for my dogs. Been ordering them for a couple years now.

I’m on the second month dose and I’d say it work just fine. No issues with fleas or ticks. Worth the money.
