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

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.

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.

Save your $ Do Not Buy this non-working product
By LPSGD on Nov 24, 2021
Thought I'd save some $ and buy their brand since it had the same ingredients as the Frontline Plus/PetArmor but I have to agree with some of the other reviews on this page - It did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and the flea problem actually got worse. WASTE OF MONEY I think there's nothing but water in the vials I had to re-spot after just 2 weeks with the other brand and fleas under control in a week. You get what you pay for. Do NOT buy

Not effective
By Mountainmama on Oct 11, 2021
I should have realized that a topical treatment that can be used on cats over 1.5 pounds would not be effective for cats 16-20 pounds as many of mine are. The instructions say only 1 vial regardless of cat's size. Well 10 days post treatment scratching and "flea dirt" again began. I hadn't had flea issues until fostering 3 kittens for local humane society even though kittens were bathed as soon as they came home. I buy Seresto collars for the few spayed/neutered outside cats & they don't scratch but $ is a big issue for me. I don't think I got a a bargain.

Wasted money
By PunkyB on Nov 1, 2021
I never write negative reviews, but was so stunned at how this product seemed to do absolutely nothing, I had to make a point to warn other consumers. We treated all or our animals at the same time with Onguard and I would almost swear the fleas actually got worse.

Not working anymore
By Shanon on Oct 24, 2021
I’m not certain why this has stopped working, but my dogs have fleas. I’ve been combing them off, picking them off, and bathing them. At first, I thought it was just ones that hadn’t died yet, but it’s constant and there are dozens.

Affordable and effective!
By Eric on Sep 14, 2021
I don't get the negative reviews for this product. We have been using the original OnGuard (since discontinued) and now OnGuard Plus on our indoor/outdoor cat. Since using he has had no fleas nor ticks. Previously we used a name brand product that worked great on fleas but did nothing for ticks so we would have to pull them off of him which was disgusting. This product works, there is nothing else to say!

Don't even bother
By Thecatlady on Oct 10, 2021
If I could give zero stars I would. I have 15 cats, so you know how many I needed. I don't think it killed not one flea on any of my cats. I have to spend more money on another product. Completely useless. It's a shame Chewy doesn't pull useless products like this one.

DO NOT GET THIS - BUNDLE OR NOT - WASTE OF MONEY!
By Leah on Aug 27, 2021
The capstar pill works great to kill the live fleas biting your kitty. It's also safe to give them daily...but it won't work more than a couple days without a topical so Chewy bundles this Onguard topical that DOES NOT WORK. It's a waste of money, go with Advantage II or if you can get a script from the vet for the Revolution- that's the best. Take my word for it, I'm back on here after having to wait 30 days to give another dose, because I used this bogus stuff, buying the stuff that actually works. UGH. I've gone through 3 packages of Capstar (6 doses each) for my 3 cats in the meantime because I can't stand to watch them suffer!

Effective & Affordable
By Myah on Sep 21, 2021
I have an indoor only cat that I use the Onguard Flea & Tick topical treatment on. While he doesn’t go outside & has never had fleas; I do treat him as I have 2 dogs that are indoor / outdoor. So who knows what the might be bringing in the house. It’s easy to use & affordable.

Didn’t work
By Tina on Oct 12, 2021
Used it on my cats as directed with no visible improvement. After 2 weeks I had to give the cats a flea bath. Not crazy about using chemicals, I’ve been combing them daily. Will not purchase that again

Works on my indoor cats
By Enigma on Sep 17, 2021
I live in SW FL where fleas are out all year. They enter the lanai on my clothing and bite my 2 indoor cats. Not a lot, but 1 every once in awhile. This stuff does not wreak and there is not a huge amount. It seems to only work for 3 weeks.
