Flea & Tick Protection for Cats

Paws Plus^® for Cats

• What’s in it?

  Our Paws Plus® for Cats topical product is produced in USA and Germany, and contains the same active ingredients as in Boehringer Ingelheim’s Frontline Plus(r) for Cats: Fipronil & s-Methoprene. All PetFriendly products are EPA-approved safe and effective, featuring the same vet-quality ingredients, at 20-40% less than the Big Brands.

• What does it do?

  Paws Plus® for Cats:

  • Rapidly kills and repels ticks, mosquitoes, lice and — critically — all three life-cycle stages of biting fleas (eggs, larvae, adults). 

  • Kills new fleas within 2 hours and existing fleas within 12 hours.

  • Kills and repels all stages of deer ticks, which may transmit Lyme disease.

  • May reduce the incidence of flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), a hypersensitivity skin disorder which may be induced by the feeding activity of fleas.

• Does it require a prescription?

  Nope! Paws Plus® for Cats is EPA-approved safe and effective, without a prescription or trip to the store.

• How much does it cost? Is delivery free?

  Paws Plus® for Cats is $8/month per pet — 20-40% less than the Big Brands.  Delivery and tasty treats are free!

• How long does it last?

  One application of Paws Plus® for Cats is effective for 30 days. We deliver your next month’s shipment on application day!

• Is it waterproof? What about bathing?

  Paws Plus® for Cats is waterproof, but requires the natural oils in your cat’s fur and skin to properly distribute the active ingredients. We recommend avoiding bathing or swimming for 48 hours before and after treatment. If you bathe your cat often, we recommend using a mild shampoo.

• How do I apply?

  Applying Paws Plus® for Cats is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Follow the full instructions.

• How is it dosed?

  One dose of Paws Plus® for Cats is EPA-approved safe and effective for cats weighing at least 1.5 lbs.

• How old does my kitten need to be?

  Your cat should be at least 8 weeks old and at least 1.5 pounds before using Paws Plus® for Cats.

• Is it safe for dogs/rabbits/other animals?

  No, Paws Plus® for Cats is a product for cats only. Never use Paws Plus® for Cats on dogs, rabbits or other animals. Dog parents: PetFriendly’s Wag’s Advance® for Dogs is for you!

• Can I use other flea and tick treatments (collar, shampoo, etc.) in combination?

  We recommend you pick one treatment to use exclusively. If you’ve already applied a flea & tick shampoo, but want to switch to Paws Plus® for Cats, you can bathe your cat in a mild degreasing dish soap, such as Dawn® to remove the other product. Give it time to work and consult your veterinarian before considering applying additional treatments.

• Why don’t you offer oral flea and tick treatments?

  We proudly offer topical (AKA spot-on, squeeze-on) — rather than oral — treatment for three reasons:

  • Oral treatments reside in your cat’s bloodstream, requiring the pest to bite before working. That bite can lead to other not fun problems for your pet, such as Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD).

  • The FDA recently connected oral treatments to potential neurological side-effects. PetFriendly’s Paws Plus® for Cats is EPA-approved safe and effective, with no neurological side-effect concerns. If you choose to use oral treatments, please consult your veterinarian about potential risks.

  • Oral treatments require a prescription, and are more expensive. PetFriendly’s Paws Plus® for Cats costs 20-40% less than the Big Brands, in addition to saving the cost and time of a vet visit.
