Do not recommend

It stinks and is very greasy. It is applied to a very small area, then it spreads out, allowing him to reach and lick. We hated this product!!

My cat had a bad reaction to this. Shortly after I put it on her, she acted sick and then had a bad reaction on her skin where I put the medicine. Her skin was real warm and red like it burned her. I tried to wash it off with Dawn soap, but it already did it’s damage.

Barrier is great!

We were spending so much money on flea and tick medication until our cat had ear mites. That’s when we realized most of the popular medicines didn’t even prevent ear mites. Then we found Barrier! Barrier works just as well as the other expensive treatments. Actually, it’s better, because it prevents ear mites. I’ve seen reviews from people who have had a hard time opening the product. We found the directions to be clear and easy to open. Barrier just doesn’t open the same way as some popular products. It’s a little different because the top doesn’t come off. Barrier is a product that works! It costs less than the other popular products, fleas and ticks are not accustomed to this product, like they are the other products. Just to make sure this product would work, we asked our vet. Once we got the confirmation, we ordered. We have had a happy cat and a happy wallet ever since we switched to Barrier!

No Residue Left

I used this for my cats and will be purchasing this for my dog! Did not smell, and was not oily! This also gave my cats INSTANT relief!

Best we have used in a while

It actually killed fleas to the point that when I combed the cats, I wasn't getting fleas anymore.

It seemed like a reasonable flea product

No problem with application, however, we had to use a different product to completely get rid of the fleas.

The ease of opening and applying

Day 1 the cats are insulted, (normal), Day 2, they are not scratching but one is shaking his head. Day 3, both cats are back to normal. Assuming the head tossing

Day 1 the cats are insulted, (normal), Day 2, they are not scratching but one is shaking his head. Day 3, both cats are back to normal. Assuming the head tossing was an effort to shake product off. This is first time using this brand.
