Onguard Plus is a topical treatment containing two active ingredients Fipronil and (S)-Methoprene. When fleas and ticks come in contact with Fipronil it binds to the insect leading to its death. (S)-Methoprene acts like an insect hormone and disrupts egg-laying, egg-hatching, and development into an adult.
When applied once every 4 weeks, these active ingredients spread from the application site onto hair and skin where it enters the glands near the hair follicles and is then slowly released for 4 weeks. This dual action provides your pet one month of protection from incidental encounters with fleas and ticks.

I have a 12-year-old, 20-pound Bichon Fries that constantly gets flea and tick attacks. I applied the Onguard Plus treatment and within five days my dog was free of any attacks from fleas and ticks. I was so impressed by the quality and performance of this product. Since the application of Onguard, and being in the recent wave of hot temperatures in Southern California, the product has been delivered as designed. I have had no instances of fleas and ticks attacking my dog. Its effectiveness has reduced the requirement for frequent baths to ward off fleas/ticks. This is an outstanding product to address flea and tick issues without using harsh ingredients. I am very pleased with the performance of this Onguard Plus product and give it a 5-star Rating.
Since its summer time my dog tends to get some fleas and ticks when she goes outside. She is a small dog and sometimes its hard to find a product that will work on her and not be too much medication for her. I used this spot treatment on her when I saw a few fleas and within a day I did not see anymore fleas on her. It was easy to apply and she really did not even notice when I put it on her. Its been a month and she still does not have any fleas for ticks and the treatments never bothered her skin either.
The Onguard Plus Flea and Tick Treatment effectively eliminated fleas on my two dogs, I haven’t noticed any digging or saw any fleas or eggs anymore anywhere! The application is simple, just squeeze tube and completely empty the tube onto skin in between parted hair. Once monthly is great that I don’t have to use anything else at all!
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I have been using thisbfor about a week now. I have weiner dog who's little chunky his belly hangs down so he's prone to getting ticks when he's out in grass. This was easy tobput on not greasy and absorbed quickly. I haven't found any ticks on him since I put this on him highly reccomended
Very easy to apply. Application is very easy, my boy had no problem with me applying it and no reactions and most importantly, no fleas! I will continue to use this brand. My fuzzy boy seems content with this brand and as long as he is happy and flea free, then everything is good with the world!
Grabbed this Onguard plus flea and trick for our furry Family member, Yeller. She has the occasional issues with both fleas and ticks as she’s an inside and outside dog which makes it more prevalent. Thankfully she responded this this week and we’r is flea and tick free! Totally recommend!
I had never heard of onguard plus for dogs before that works on killing fleas, flea eggs, larvae and chewing lice but I tried it and it works very well. I'm not seeing any fleas or fleas eggs on my little 9 lb white dog anywhere. I really like that's it keeps working even if my dog gets wet.
Got this flea and tick medicine from o guard to trays my dog has fleas this summer. Put it on as directed and about a week later my dog stopped scratching so much. I love that it kills not only the fleas and ticks it also kills there eggs so they do not hatch and reinvest.
I received the Onguard Plus Flea & Tick Spot Treatment for Dogs, 5-22 lbs to try and review. This spot treatment worked so well on my dog. We went camping and no fleas or ticks and it has kept working. This product is wonderful.
This makes protecting my fur baby so quick and easy. No fuss, no muss, just a quick and effective application and no more worries about those pests tormenting my baby. I will definitely recommend this to all my other fur baby friends.
