Important Information
Fleas rise to the top of your cat's coat as they die, so consider it a triumph if you start seeing more fleas at first, after treating your pet.
Onguard Plus works to eliminate fleas in all life stages. If you’re still seeing fleas after application, it may be because your cat has picked up new fleas from the environment, which may include other pets, surfaces and outdoor areas. Don’t worry, Onguard Plus starts working immediately on any new fleas that get on your cat, eliminating them within 24 hours from contact. It may take up to 30 days to break the entire flea life cycle. Additionally, you should also treat sources of new fleas (i.e., carpet, yard, etc.) to ensure complete flea control.

About Onguard Plus Flea & Tick for Cats
One Solution, Powerful Protection
Onguard Plus is a monthly topical spot treatment that helps eliminate fleas and ticks and protects your pet from painful bites and infestations. This flea and tick preventative treatment not only stops ticks and fleas in their tracks, but also prevents the hatching of new fleas and keeps fighting off ticks so your cat can find relief from these pests.
Preventing Fleas at Every Turn
Fleas are not only a nuisance for your kitty, but they may also cause bigger problems like flea allergy dermatitis. The best way to prevent and eliminate a flea problem is to attack them at all life stages, which Onguard Plus does efficiently.
Flea finds a home
Once on your cat, it bites to feed within just 2 hours.
Eggs are laid
In 2 days, an adult flea will lay eggs.
Eggs hatch into larvae
Eggs fall off your pet, scatter around the home, and then hatch.
Larvae turn into pupae
Pupae can wait for up to a year before emerging as adult fleas.
2 Powerful Active Ingredients
Onguard Plus uses two active ingredients that are commonly used to protect cats from fleas and ticks. Fipronil and (S)-methoprene work together to stop an infestation in its tracks and prevent future ones. Fipronil kills adult fleas, ticks and chewing lice and aids eliminating flea eggs and larvae by disrupting their maturation. Together the two create a highly effective flea and tick preventative treatment.
One-Step Application
These topical flea and tick treatments are easy to apply and effective for up to 30 days. Choose from three treatments or six so you can keep your pet protected. Simply apply it between the shoulder blades of your pet, and the long-lasting solution will keep protecting them from fleas and ticks. The formula is both waterproof and sunlight-proof, so you don’t have to worry about reapplication throughout the month.

Didn’t work for us
By DaringDarling on Feb 17, 2021
I purchased the six count box for my three indoor cats and this flea treatment didn’t work for any of them. And when I say didn’t work, it did not perform at all. They were still crawling with fleas hours later with no change over the next few days. I ended up giving them Capstar to kill any adult fleas and then had to wait it out for at least two weeks before giving them a treatment of a different brand. Would not recommend or purchase again. Thankfully it was on sale when I purchased!

Used to work
By Christy on Feb 28, 2021
I was purchasing Onguard for my indoor cats which go out on a leash every 10 days or so. It was working well. I just purchased the new Onguard Plus since it has been changed. It seemed like the ingredients are the same but 15 days after treatment I'm still finding fleas on both my cats. I'm not sure what changed but it should be Onguard Minus now.

A decent option
By Napier on Feb 25, 2021
Does the job it is supposed to do. No fleas in the house nor on the cats. Our cats are indoor only, so fleas come in on our clothes and whatever we bring in the house. But, this keeps them off the cats!! No negative problems either. Like the fact that works for both cats--one is about 5 lbs. the other 15 lbs.

Keeps Luna Safe
By YvetteR on Feb 26, 2021
I love that chewy saves me a trip to the store or to my vet by having this available online. Luna is almost always an indoor cat but she enjoys some strolls and has had a bit of an itch lately. So I ordered this for her and it worked like a charm. Definitely adding this to my favorites for quick reference.

Great product and worked for my cat
By Yichen on Feb 27, 2021
I’ve been using Frontline and decided to switch this. Works just as well and haven’t noticed any fleas. With any flea treatments, it’s not going to kill existing fleas instantly or deter fleas. I’ve tried other brands as well but sticking to this as it’s great value.

Works great and easy to administer
By JonahVon on Feb 26, 2021
My poor kitty has been plagued by fleas for the past month. She also seemed to reject any other treatment I tried - until now. I am already starting to see positive results. Easy to give to my little Cora, way cheaper than the vet, and effective. I’d recommend!

No complaints!
By CatMom on Jan 13, 2021
My cat is primarily an indoor cat because of all the wildlife we get around here (i.e. coyotes), but I do take him out in the backyard on a leash every day, and we've definitely encountered fleas in our yard before. So far no fleas on my cat, though! I like that this stuff really is only oily on my cat's fur for the first day when I apply it. After that, his coat is back to normal, and he even smells nice because of the flea treatment!

It works great !
By judes on Feb 23, 2021
I have 2 indoor cats and one small dog who goes in and out. I use this product on my cats and they have not had any fleas since. This is my 3 round of me buying it. I buy the dog one for my small dog too. Very pleased.

It is working
By AnabellP on Feb 21, 2021
I bought the 6 doses. I put the first doses to my cat and so far it is working. My cat can go outside now and I have the peace of mind that he won't be getting bugs anymore. I will buy it again after 6 months.

Would not recommend
By Brooke on Dec 1, 2020
I purchased this flea treatment for our two formally feral kittens. Until then, they had been getting twice-weekly baths with dish soap until they were old enough and large enough for topical flea treatments. Upon application, the Onguard topical treatment was very runny. Weeks later, there still no difference in the amount of fleas on the kittens, compared to how many I found with just dish soap baths and treating our home. I will continue to give them twice-weekly baths (they are now old enough for medicated shampoo), and treat our home until enough time has passed to try another topical treatment. I would not recommend, because I see no signs that it is effective, and because I now have to I purchased this flea treatment for our two formally feral kittens.
