What is PetArmor® (Generic to Frontline® Top Spot®)?
As seen on TV, PetArmor® is a flea and tick preventative that works just like Frontline® Top Spot®. It contains the same active ingredient, fipronil, as Frontline® Top Spot® and protects pets for 30 days against pesky fleas and ticks. PetArmor® comes in an easy-to-use, squeeze on applicator and is waterproof after 24 hours of application.
Not only does PetArmor® kill fleas and ticks, but it also kills chewing lice and controls mites that may cause sarcoptic mange.

How it works:
Just like Frontline® Top Spot®, PetArmor® is specifically formulated to kill fleas and ticks per your pet's weight. So picking the right package is important in getting complete protection for your pet. The main ingredient fipronil, also found in Frontline® Top Spot®, is a broad-spectrum insecticide that disrupts the central nervous system of fleas and ticks. Once PetArmor® is applied, the fipronil spreads by a process called translocation. It is gradually spread by your pet's natural oils, accumulating in the oil glands and absorbed into the hair and skin. It then kills adult fleas and ticks within 24 hours. PetArmor® works best when your pet's skin is in optimal condition.
Cautions:
For external use only. Do not use PetArmor® on Rabbits or other animals. Use only one pipette per application and do not reapply sooner than 4 weeks. Keep out of reach of children.

5 words! It doesn't work at all. Tried for 4 months, with pest control company doing their part.

Not worth it
Put it on ten days later still scratching. My poor guy has slept outside the last week. We have already sprayed the yard for prevention and we have cleaned all his bedding. he looks restless and uncomfortable. Gona do a dip for him. And consult our vet.

Works for us
We used to have an annual "infestation" and have learned to use a product like this monthly. We've found PetArmor to be effective and relatively speaking inexpensive.

Should spend extra for a better product
I have been using this for my dog (1yr old black lab) and my five cats. The cats seem fine, but my lab is scratching a lot. I live in Louisiana and this product does not seem to be fit for Louisiana summers. I recommend spending some extra money and going for a better brand name product.

Works Awesome
I have three dogs, two Min-Pins and a Husky. I had fleas really bad tried everything including Frontline and nothing worked. I finally tried PetArmor and it works great and less expensive too.

Here in Wisconsin, humans & pets are the minority, compared to the mosquito population in the summer time. My dog is a walking magnet for them, as am I, and my backyard is a feasting ground. Is there some type of repellent I can use on him and/or a fogger/spray that actually works longer than 10 mins?
Here in Alaska we rarely have ticks and fleas, but we do have a huge amount of mosquitos. So my question is what will work to keep the animals from being bitten by the misquitos?
I recently socialized a feral female cat and she had kittens 3 weeks ago. Is this product safe to use on a lactating mother cat? Thank you for your help.
