Activyl plus tick

Day 2 post application applied it Tuesday it's now Thursday (technically Friday morning lol) n the "slick" spots r still visible which the vet warned me they last longer than advantage or frontline!! Combed her out last night got maybe 3 fleas n they all seemed lost n dazed!!! Tonight I actually watched a flea bite her n literally start walking up her belly n die he was the only one I saw!!! From my understanding activyls active compound indoxacarb is a marketed insecticide that is safe for animals bcuz it is only harmful to insects that can convert indoxacarb into IN-JT333/DCJW which is basically a neurotoxin for insects!!!! Sounds scary but so far I haven't had an issue!! She's been kinda itchy (side effect in 10% of dogs) but I examine the site twice a day n haven't noticed any excoriation or hair loss!!! Well just wanted to jot some stuff down for anyone looking for info on it

Haha I know it is kinda cool to read how it works tho n it's important to know its safe for humans bcuz the greasy spot stays for some time!! I combed her again today n not a thing no flea dirt no fleas just a pretty brushed puppy

It's rx only right now so u have to get it from ur vet but it really does work well n I believe it's cheaper than frontline n advantix

I saw it on 1800 pet meds, i don't think it showed it needed a prescrip, but it was six months for 80 something

Ohhhhhh maybe my vet said that so I'd buy it thru them lol idk but it is really good so far either way totally worth it (I should be a spokeswoman lol)

It could have still needed a prescrip not sure, but i think i'll head to the vets and just get a month or two to try since our luck with everything else hasn't been good!!
