PetArmor Flea & Tick Protection

Like many pet owners, we have battled with fleas so we know how important flea protection is. We have tried every brand of flea prevention available and have had good results with some and very bad results with others. When PetArmor offered me their “Take a Hike” gift pack along with the chance to review their flea, tick and lice protection, I was happy to try it out; not only because it’s always nice to test this type of product without the upfront investment, but because PetArmor is priced well below other leading brands, so if it worked and we liked it, it would save us money in the long run.

PetArmor is the first EPA approved generic fipronil product used to treat both dogs and cats. It is sold through major retailers, such as Walmart, and offers a substantial savings to leading flea protection. PetArmor is available in two forms: PetArmor which kills fleas, ticks, and chewing lice and PetArmor Plus which kills fleas, flea larvae, flea eggs, ticks, and chewing lice.


I’ll admit that I was skeptical about whether PetArmor would work or not. We have been buying our flea/tick protection in a pill form because the topical kinds just don’t work for our animals. Happily, though, PetArmor proved me wrong. To do the study thoroughly, I gave one of my dogs the pill form, one an old tube of Frontline, and one PetArmor. The dog with Frontline still had fleas 3 days later, so I put on PetArmor and they disappeared within hours. My dog that was given the pill was flea free longer than the dogs that had PetArmor, but PetArmor is much more inexpensive, so that’s fine by me. Overall, I was very pleased with how PetArmor performed and will be purchasing it again.

You can buy PetArmor for dogs and cats at Walmart, Amazon.com, and Sam's Club.  Also, visit PetArmor on Facebook to take the PetArmor Pledge to protect your pets.  Each pledge taken will prompt a $1 donation to the ASPCA, up to $100,000.
