What is Flea5X Plus - Generic to Frontline Plus?

Flea5X Plus contains fipronil to quickly kill adult fleas, ticks and chewing lice on your pet. Flea5X Plus also contains (S)-methoprene, an insect growth regulator that kills flea eggs and larvae to help end the flea life cycle. In addition to killing adult fleas and preventing reinfestation, Flea5X Plus is effective against ticks such as the brown dog tick, the American dog tick, the lone star tick and the deer tick, including those that may transmit Lyme disease.

did not prevent fleas or ticks
I've been using Frontline successfully on my 3 dogs for 9 yrs, 7 yrs and 5 yrs. When ordering, 1-800-Pet-Meds recommended I try their generic for less money, so I did. With no change in our routine of outdoor play and walking, all 3 dogs got multiple ticks and a small case of fleas.

Horrible odor!
This medicine has a nauseating smell, and this is after it's dry! It's been 24 hours and it is still overpowering. I'm washing it off my dog--poor thing. She can't get away from it like I can.

We'll see
I have been using the 4X for a couple of years on two dogs with good results. We don't do treatments throughout winter so this is the first month application for this year. We are now using the 5X and down to one dog. When I applied this, our dog went nuts, like he was trying to run away from himself. He would sniff around and lay down in one of his resting spots then jump up and move to another spot, sniffing around and repeat from room to room. This lasted about ten minutes before he went outside and rolled around, then came back in and finally settled down after about 15 minutes. We have been pleased with the previous version of this product. Hopefully this reaction was due to being the first application of the season and not due to changes in the formula.

Not Fragrance Free
Very strange.....this product smelled like maple syrup. On both my dogs. So, I called CS and was happily surprised when they refunded for the complete order of this product even though one box was used. I swapped it out for Frontline Plus which is what I've used for years. I'm very impressed with this company...just not with this product.. The CSR said it's the first time she had heard this complaint so I don't know what the cause was but I won't be using it again. Thank you 800PetMeds for your professionalism. :-)

Does Flea 5X Plus kill mosquitoes.
Flea5X Plus is a monthly topical flea and tick preventative for dogs and cats over 8 weeks of age. It contains the same active ingredients as Frontline Plus which does not cover mosquitoes. Flea5X Plus contains fipronil to quickly kill adult fleas, ticks and chewing lice on your pet. Flea5X Plus also contains (S)-methoprene, an insect growth regulator that kills flea eggs and larvae to help end the flea life cycle. In addition to killing adult fleas and preventing reinfestation, Flea5X Plus is effective against ticks such as the brown dog tick, the American dog tick, the lone star tick and the deer tick, including those that may transmit Lyme disease. You may want to look into the K9 Advantix II which combines imidacloprid and permethrin to repel and kill fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. You may click on the link below to view the K9 Advantix II.

I ordered the frontline for my dog I put it on him and noticed he still had a few fleas in him. What can I do ? Should I put another dose in him ?
As long it has been at least two weeks, it is safe to apply another dose. For best results, you may want to treat your home and the pet bedding as well to prevent a re-infestation.

Why only good for 30 days?
I have a package of Frontline Plus that says it controls fleas and ticks for 60 days. Why does the Fleas 5xmgeneric with the same ingredients have to be reapplied every 30 days?
Because it doesnt work.

what is the other ingredient of 81.40% in this product
as my local petstore informed me after it was too late and I should have stuck with Advantix.....the other ingredients is added garbage that does nothing, kinda like olive oil companies adding vegetable and canola oil to there 100% pure product!...lol

Should I still see fleas on my cat after 2 days?
It's possible to see one or two. Theoretically it should kill eggs so that they don't hatch at all, but there's always a possibility of one. More likely, your home is infested and they jumped on the cat from somewhere else. You should treat your fabric furniture, carpeting, etc. If you have an outdoor kitty, your yard might need some clean up too.

Do I need a prescription?
No RX needed.

what happened to flea4xplus
The Flea4x plus did not do the eggs and larvae. It was replaced by flea5x plus which now does the eggs and larvae.

cat flea treatment, designed to work by weight
CAT IS 30 POUNDS, WHICH OF THE FLEA TREATMENTS ARE DESIGNED TO GO BY ANIMAL WEIGHT?
Hi there, this is for all weights so you will be fine unless you have been directed by your vet to administer flea and tick medication a certain way. You would follow the directions he/she gave you.
