Amazon Basics Preventative Flea and Tick Topical Treatment for Medium Dogs (23-44 lbs), Up to 30 Days Protection, Fast Acting, 6 Counts, Packaging May Vary

Repels bugs on dogs

My two dogs are happy with the flea medicine! Easy to use, no leaking, no side effects (no scratching, hot spots or hair loss)! Works great! No bugs!

Here's the gist: My dog became immobile and was put through hellish pain. Yes, this is a normal poison we use on pets for fleas/ticks. Pay attention to your pet immediately after applying this garbage. Wash them immediately if something seems off. Do not ignore them. Long story: My 26lb,10 yo corgi got a bath, 2 days later, I put this Amazon Basics (23-44lb) liquid between his shoulder blades, squeezing out the liquid exactly where the directions stated. We've used Frontline for years, this is not a new concept. Was applied at night so he'd be all nice and dry before morning when he gets love and pets. The next morning, he started yelping in pain when we went down the steps, like he'd hurt his leg. This limping, then lethargy, and yelping grew, and I didn't know what happened. Acorn shell in the paw pad? Secretly tripped and got new hip pain he's never had before (but corgis are definitely prone to with age)? Three days pass, he's progressively worse. Morning of day 3, he can no longer stand up, can no longer walk. I can't pick him up because he yelps in pain. He lays there with bloodshot eyes, panting nonstop in my 74F house. His sides, his back, legs and paws are in pain. He would still eat, but he couldn't get up off of the floor, so I fed him from my hand. I'd already called the vet the night before, but they were closed. I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out what's different. Me, the idiot, didn't remember that this Amazon Basics liquid is NOT the same the Frontline he'd used for almost a decade. The vet calls back, I tell her I think I know what it is, and that another negative reviewer said they gave their dog a bath 30 min after application and it improved. She says to give him a bath immediately and see if it does anything. It had been 3 days on my dog, I had little hope. I gave him 2 long baths in Dawn dish soap, and about 6 hours later, he started standing again. 8 hours later, he was slowly walking again. No idea if this is a quality control problem, was this mis-dosed for a bigger dog? The active ingredient in this is the same as Frontline. I don't even know if this kills fleas or ticks. He was so lethargic he couldn't life his leg to scratch anything if his life depended on it. A week later, he was about back to normal. I will not be using this again, or giving it away. This is trash and a waste of money. Maybe you'll have better luck, but keep in mind the reviewers who put their pet's lives at risk to save money. Don't do it.

Works for our dogs. Yes we have a slight irritation but it is short lived. This brand (basics) is a subsidiary company that makes Capstar, Nextstar and PetArmor. It’s affordable & helps to keep the fleas away for our dogs. As all always, keep an eye on your pet when applying & if you notice any issues, quickly bathe & seek medical attention.

Great affordable option! We use it every month and have seen no adverse reactions (or fleas/ticks). Great results!

This topical flea product did not work for me. Maybe because my dog is 42 lbs close to the maximum weight. I dosed him one tube where there were active fleas on my pup. Two hours later, fleas were still hopping around and I had him contained. In my opinion, I do not think this product kills on contact. A day later, there were more fleas. I can't say if it works or not. Either way, Amazon Basics was kind enough to return in for a full refund. I'm also very sensitive to smells, I noticed no odor at all, nor did my pup get an allergic reaction from it, like other reviews posted.

Better than all the expensive brands. My dog runs through Kentucky woods areas and we have lots of ticks. This stuff keeps them away or turns them to dust if they do bite my dog.

Jazz isn’t scratching… yeah…She doesn’t seem to have any issues with it… except rubbing her back in the grass a lot… not sure there is a connection.
