Johnsons 4Fleas Tablets for Cats and Kittens, 6 Treatment Pack, 14D083

I was recommended these by a family member after I rescued a kitten that came with a flea infestation. It was a nightmare trying to get rid of them, I tried those spot-on gels and various sprays on furniture, but nothing seemed to work but these! Within an hour of giving the tablet, the fleas starting dying. When my kitten got up from laying down on my desk, there was many incapacitated fleas left behind, which proves it really does work, and that you need to be constantly hoovering! I hid the tablet inside a meat stick treat and gave one to both of my cat with no issues, so they are very easy to administer. Your cat might get hyperactive and start itching frantically for the first few hours, and this is normal and it means that the fleas are interacting with the tablet, dying and falling off. Also, cleanup is key, these do kill the fleas on the cats, but you must vacuum your house regularly to catch stray eggs. The fleas might return after a week or so (from hatching again), so you may need to give a second dose and continue the treatment as per the instructions. At £7 for a pack on sale, they are price competitively with other treatments, and this has multiple doses so I’d argue that it’s way better, given that it actually works. Worth every penny.

Long story short, we have two cats and one of them had managed to pick up fleas and pass them to the other. Luckily it was detected early so no flea infestation in the home. I kept pulling a few fleas each day out of their fur using the fleas comb but we needed a solution. I had never heard of this medication before and vets always want to charge £50 for flea treatment… So how affective could a £7 packet of tablets be? Well, the answer is VERY. I ground up a tablet (right or wrong it’s the only way I can get them to eat it) in a creamy cat treat and within half an hour, exactly as claimed I saw things happening. As they state will be the case; The cat started scratching a lot more which is apparently due to the fleas becoming poisoned and wriggling around. Shortly after that, for the first time ever, I saw two fleas right at the surface of the cat’s fur, just sitting there. Fleas stay right near the skin where they are protected and can feed, so they were obviously wandering around as the ‘poison’ kicked in. A day later and for the first time I’m not getting any fleas off of either cat with the fleas comb. Touch wood, they seem to be gone and neither cat has been scratching since. This is an incredibly effective treatment, vastly better than expensive nonsense like Frontline (just impossible to apply well enough to be effective) and at a very reasonable price… It’s actually a really nice change to buy treatment for an animal which works exactly as claimed and I don’t feel ripped off. A combination of diatomaceous earth as a preventative and these tablets as a quick solution if fleas appear is cheap and extremely effective. Brush your cat every couple of days with a flea comb to ensure you catch any fleas early, and have a packet of these on hand… Total peace of mind.

I've tried a few products to get rid of the fleas but nothing worked ,even the treatment I got from the vets. I was almost giving up hope when I saw the reviews on this product . I thought let me give it a try even though it was doubtful it would work . Well , within minutes of giving it to my cats the fleas were falling off . This is the best one I've come across so far. My babies can rest in peace at last.

I have a young (10 months old) cat and she developed a flea problem. I had seen similar pills on the net so I thought I would try these. My cat weighs around 4kg. I gave her a whole tablet crushed into some food which she ate easily, then drank quite a bit of water.Within a few minutes she started to look a bit lethargic and lay down , her pupils dilated so she looked like puss in boots off Shrek with the massive eyes. I wanted to keep an eye on her so all doors were closed. After about 10 minutes she went a bit hyper, running around, lying down for a few seconds then running around again.She then started scratching profusely, looking almost confused as to where to attack next. You could see the fleas coming off her, rising to the surface off her fur as they tried to escape. As the fleas fell they could no longer jump, they walked around in a daze slowly dying. She started panting and became very loving, climbing up my back and lying around my neck, with these fleas still coming off her. After a few minutes I took her from my neck and there were about 10 dying fleas on my T shirt. (I'm now itching as I write this) . We kept coming her until eventually we couldn't find any . We fed her the tablet at 6, we gave up combing around 9.30. Her pupils were still dilated the day after and it was probably another day before she returned to her normal self. The panting and erratic behaviour is scary, there's no doubt, but to get around 60 fleas off her it was worth it. Bear in mind we had never seen a flea on her, I was shocked at how many there were. The tablet worked brilliantly but I think I would only give her half next time, (comments on here say 1mg per kilo, tablet is 11mg or so ) even if it meant repeating the dose the day after . My cat had a flea collar on and spot on treatment. The spot on stuff I used was made by a company called Armitage, it obviously offered no protection. My cat now has Advantage spot on treatment and after combing her we found no fleas a week later. I have a cat that barely scratches and appears completely free of fleas....... unfortunately I am still itching from writing this

Been using these on my cats for a while now they are brilliant. My cats hate having drops so the tablets are so much easier to crush up and sprinkle on their food and they work fairly quickly too. Plus you can give them to your cat as and when you need to

Having tried many different flea treatment options, including many different spot on solutions I was very skeptikal about this product as nothing seemed to really work. However, I must honestly say this product works the best out of anything else out there. Our female cat had got fleas so bad to a point that she was getting covered in cuts and scabs from scratching so much, her fur was getting so bald and thin in places it was awful, but we could no longer try spot on products due to the fear of the product getting into a cut / open wound. She would not eat any food this was hidden in, whether broken up, crushed up, or whole.... she knew it was in there and wouldn't touch the food, so I reluctantly resorted to dropping a whole pill into her throat. For the first hour or so she was super itchy and excessively grooming herself, which I thought was a good sign that something was happening. The next day however, she is noticeably much much more calm, and on inspection of her fur there seems to be no fleas at all on her already. You can give these tablets as often as you need to as they don't offer 'upto 6 weeks protection' like the spot on solutions claim...... but it's not too expensive to just give her another as and when needed to keep the fleas under control. I think this treatment, combined with regular hoovering / cleaning of the house seems to finally be the answer to our cats comfort, and keeping those pesky fleas at bay! This definitely deserves the 5 star review, fantastic stuff.

Have have 2 cats. Both were strays and while they are affectionate and neither like the neck administered flea treatments. Boy Boy needed only 1 tablet. I used the other 3 tablets on Buster but they failed to work. I will continue to use then when needed for Boy Boy because they are so easy to administer hidden in his food.

I don't often write reviews for products bu for this I felt I had to. I have spent nearly £150 in the last year battling fleas on my cat and in my home. I have used some of the top recommendations from the best brands, numerous flea treatments for the cat spray, powders, flea traps and so on. Then I can across these tablets as a last ditch effort. I could have saved myself £130. Gave to may cat on the 28th December, there was no fuss he ate the tablet up with his treat,( understandably not everyone’s cat is this easy to take tablets), within the hour there were some dead fleas on his sleeping spot. I brushed him through with a nit comb and more fell off. Treated the house again with sprays and washing bedding etc on high temp. It is now 3rd January and no fleas on the cat or in the home. My cat is now happy and content. Bottom line this tiny tablet rid our house of pests and has saved me spending another fortune on treatments.
