Sentry Fiproguard for Dogs, Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs (23-44 Pounds), Includes 3 Month Supply of Topical Flea Treatments

I have two dogs that are under 22 pounds. They hang out often in the backyard where there's many trees and bushes. I've found ticks on myself there after gardening for few hours on many occasions. So it's very important for me that my dogs get good flea and tick treatment so that no one, including the dogs obviously, gets lyme disease in this house. But as we all know, brand name flea/tick medicine gets expensive!! As a grad student with not a lot of money, I was delighted to find this product with great reviews. I immediately purchased this. This product arrived in a plastic seal and looked quite legitimate. When I opened it, I noticed it was just the six applicators without any paper instruction or warning or whatever. It just looked kind of empty to me. So I panicked, thinking this must be a Chinese knockoff and that this is gonna kill my dogs. So I read the reviews all over again and checked out the seller. My seller was "Sentry Industries, Inc" and there's also other sellers on Amazon that are just "Sentry". So I have no idea who is legitimate or not. But I decided to trust the Amazon reviews and apply the topical on my dogs' backs. I stayed home all day to see if they have any sort of reaction, but they didn't. A month later, I used them again and my dogs are still fine. I haven't found any ticks on them since I started Fiproguard (but the weather's been getting cooler also, so there's less ticks). They both got tested for lyme disease last week and both were negative. So I am pretty certain this product works and it works at a fraction of the cost. I am happy about this purchase and will continue to use it.

I used this for my dog for years and never had any problems. It went out of stock for awhile so I had to use other medicines and I eventually circled back to this one bc no other flea meds work as good for my dogs as this one does. Best topical out there & so affordable!

Worked well, no side effects for dogs.

A large old mutt, an Aussie, a YorkiePoo and a Choodle. I actually only used this product for 2 months last Summer. I had no fleas or ticks over that period. I quit applying it too early in the fall and found a few ticks after that. This year I will start as soon as I see bugs and stop only when fully into winter. I take my dogs walking on trails frequently, so they gave it a good test. My primary concern is with ticks as these can be life threatening to a dog, and I did not find one tick while using it. I check my dogs frequently for these blood suckers. I did not have a flea problem either, even after I quit using it in the fall. Perhaps fleas do not come out like ticks in late fall warm spells. I found ticks even in February a couple years ago during a very mild Midwestern winter. Regarding the bad reviews, go figure. My understanding is that this is a preventative, if you have a preexisting problem on the dog or in the home getting that under control can be a more arduous task. However people trash Frontline as well. Frontline is incredibly more expensive. The active ingredient is identical, although I know that does not always guarantee products to work identically. However this worked for my 4 dogs, I certainly would have found ticks on them had it not worked, after about 50 or so trail hikes, including at the large dog park that we go to. Regarding fleas, I had none, but I had none to start with. In my experience all other topical flea/tick treatments have been ineffective, only the active ingredient in this product has been effective. I will wait until the end of this year before I firmly decided that brand is great stuff, if not as good as Frontline, close enough. My new Chiwennie adds a 5th test subject to the mix. However I do feel pretty strongly that it is based on my last year's experience. I realize that Frontline also has a product that kills eggs as well, but feel that if you don't let the problem get started, that is probably not super consequential, not enough to justify the dramatically increased cost of that product.

I used this product for maybe 9 months - we purchased a yr supply because it was cheap and I got free shipping. It was the first time we switched to this product. We used another topical for 13 years. The product does what it says - it did prohibit the flea and tics. I gave it a 1 star rating because I felt my dog had a reaction to the product each time it was applied and that reaction continue to build over time. I hesitated writing a review because I wasn't positive if it was this product. I can say with certainty now it was. I want to make it clear that, for us, it was not a very obvious reaction at first. No one really noticed it, or I would have discontinued use immediately!! Our 13 yr old lab never had issues with other topicals and this product seem to do weird things to her hair in the application area. Our dog never showed any other ill signs. After seeing what happened I can only explain it as a gradual thinning of hair in the application area....not enough to actually warrant a concern or anyone notice. I think we all did notice it to an extent but never thought it had to do with the product. Then it moved to hair coming off in that area when we brushed her. Hair came off in CLUMPS and we discontinued the product immediately and threw away the last few applications. Her hair has grown in fully now and we are using a different product.

It’s probably 3.5 stars. Decent price and decent performance. I suppose it might actually perform well for a lot of people. I don’t think there is anything wrong with choosing this product. I however will only use it in the winter/fall and only spring/summer for a backup. That is why I tried this to begin with; the regular topical solution we use kept being out of stock. It is a little stinky. No surprise, they all are. It actually might smell slightly less powerful than the usual one we use. The stink fades Seems fine. I found no ticks or fleas. I have used the product twice (2 months). I did however notice a couple times a little bug or two flying around the dog’s ears. At the time, I swatted them away and thought hmm maybe it isn’t as powerful… well lol my mistake. I actually just realized this product doesn’t advertise that it deters mosquitoes, so that was my fault. So yes I’ve seen him scratch a few times but nothing major and I never saw/found anything. I think the product does advertise what it claims. I take my dog on at least one adventure a week in fields, tall grass, or other stinky spots, so I thought best to stick with the stronger stuff for summer bug months. Dogs that aren’t as active, might be fine. My dog is a husky that is spoiled rotten with 3 walks a day. It is just as annoying to apply as any topical solution. Ease of application is fine, normal. Wear gloves I attached 2-3 photos. This product, Sentry or whatever, mentions preventing mites and lice. My usual product, Provecta(based on an animal eye specialists advice), doesn’t mention those actually. But it does prevent mosquito bites, and I do find value in that. They are out heavy this time of year driving me nuts. The photos show the active ingredients (minus “OTHER” on both! Notice this sentry has a lot of OTHER… Middle ingredient on Provecta I guess is for mosquitoes and bottom one supposedly is larvae. I didn’t see larvae mentioned on Sentry. Both the other ingredients are broad spectrum versions of insecticides. -fleas -ticks -mites -lice -doesn’t stop mosquitoes -doesn’t kill larvae? Not sure Review over If you need extra details on the specialist thing, here is a short version: Dog was having freaky symptoms in one eye. Ended up seeing an animal eye specialist that asked about his monthly heartworm stuff. (3rd picture is what was recommended). This Dr does not like dual plus heartworm/bug meds together, in general, but specifically for dogs that often get eye issues, genetic disorders, pure breed type things. So cocker spaniels for instance, are known to get thigh problems but also glocoma. Huskies like I have, also are known to develop genetic eye issues…. He told us to stop using a dual plus one in all pill. Always use topical for our case and heartworm separate. I’m not naming the product that caused this scary issue because it was extremely unusual symptoms and any other dual product could have caused similar issue with our dog. Sometimes unfortunately different medicines cause weird symptoms to certain people/animals and may not be common. We are only one of a few recorded cases of this eye issues occurring from a heartworm pill over years of studies. So it is rare. Just be cautious and talk to your vet. We just have to use a heartworm medicine that does not also contain the extra chemicals and have to always do separate topical. Was a huge deal at the time, but since switching, zero issues. Other than price. The vet stuff is expensive

It’s been very effective on our two small dogs 18-12 pounds mix terrier/Chihuahua. No signs of fleas or ticks. No scratching. Happy dogs here. Have been using this brand for a couple of years now.

Seems to work well but our little dog is a 90% inside dog
