Flea & Tick Treatment 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® for Cats: Fipronil and 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 that may be induced by the feeding activity of fleas.

• Does it require a prescription?

  Nope! Paws Plus® for Cats is delivered straight to your door without a prescription or trip to the store.

• How much does it cost? Is delivery free?

  Paws Plus® for Cats is only $12/month per cat. Plus shipping is FREE and bonus treats are included!

• 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 pounds.

• 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, or other pets?

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

• Can I use other flea & tick treatments (like flea collars or flea shampoo) in combination?

  We recommend you pick one flea treatment to use exclusively. If you’ve already applied a flea and tick shampoo, but want to switch to Paws Plus® for Cats, contact our friendly support team for advice. Email us at goodbyefleas@petfriendlybox.com.

• 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:

  1. 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).

  2. The FDA has 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.

  3. 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.
