Flea free food supplement?

[ChristineL]

Hi.

We have been battling with flea problems with our three kitties. We came across this product and was wondering if anyone has tried it and with success:

Thank you!

Hey Christine!

I've never heard of this line of products. From what I can see, they look safe and are worth a try!

@Dr. Jeff - I found another similar products with organic ingredients: Flea + Tick Defense Support | All-Natural Health Supplement for Dogs + Cats

Please let me know what you think!

 

[Dr. Jeff]

This second one is the winner IMHO.

@Dr. Christina, what say you?

Fleas were an issue for me last summer. I used a couple of lighted sticky traps, a steam cleaner on the upholstery and carpets, twice daily vacuuming, and a 2-3 minute combing several times a day - time consuming of course, but all very effective. I live in an area with a dense whitetail deer population so fleas and ticks abound in the yard. The flea(s) apparently hitched a ride into the house on us or the dogs. --Kim in Support

Biologically, this makes no sense. Looks like a massive marketing scam to me.

For instance, thse statements are not true:
“Produces an enzyme.” - not a thing
“Barrier around the protein.” - not a thing
“Must feed every 20–22 hours.” - fleas can go days if not weeks without feeding
“Male fleas don’t bite.” - yes they do

Oh my! I can't believe this (smh & laughing at the same time!). Thank you so much for the clarification.

Oh there's much more they say that's totally ridiculous, but that's a good sample!

Geesh! It's so misleading, my goodness! Thank you for shining light on this!
