Purina Total Care Heartwormer, Allwormer & Flea Control for Cats
Verified3 reviews
Honestly, I am very disappointed with this product and would recommend AGAINST buying it as this has caused some serious health concerns with my 1yo, perfectly healthy, indoor cat!! The product was applied and within 24hrs my cat reacted to the treatment. I noticed a very large chunk of fur missing from his tail. It's now been 2days and he is still losing fur around his tummy, groin and inside of his legs where he is constantly licking at the site causing more discomfort.
I have also noticed his urine to be very cloudy and when investigating the cause of this, it appears that its a possible UTI.
All of these symptoms are in line with another person who has posted here stating the exact same reactions as my cat to theirs after using this product.
I am so very upset I didn't read the reviews before applying the treatment as my cat was perfectly fine and healthy and I go to extreme lengths to ensure his health and safety at all times. Now I will need to find funds to take him to the vet as recommended by your 'customer service team' I spoke with on the 1800 number provided as well as, any treatment cost to get my cat healthy again.
The whole experience has been very unpleasant firstly with the product and again with the appalling service I received over the phone. I'm wondering how this company is able to get away with poisoning our pets yet taking no accountability leaving the emotional and financial stress up to the consumer???
10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!
DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT! The instant I put this poison on my 13yr old cat, it burnt her skin and all her hair off. She now has a urine infection, this product needs to be taken off the shelves.

Don't Buy this Product – Treated my cat 2 weeks ago and am still finding live fleas on him. We have treated all bedding, flea bombed all rooms, washed everything and vacuumed everywhere. He is still infested. Absolutely useless product. I am so annoyed at myself that I didn't go and get Advocate. Now have to wait another 2 weeks to treat him with something that actually works, at which point we will have to do the cleaning process all over again. I am at least so thankful that he has had no physical reactions as other reviewers have sadly experienced. Thanks for nothing Purina.
