Anyone ever used Zodiac brand flea and tic drops for cats?

I have always used Revolution, but with four cats to care for now, it's getting a little expensive.Anyone ever used Zodiac brand flea and tic drops for cats?
Revolution is expensive, but when you go for the cheaper brands, you can put your cats at risk. When products are sold by veterinarians, they back them up, and they are safer because they are prescription strength. It's always better to go with products from a veterinarian such as Frontline Top Spot, or Revolution. OTC brands could potentially harm your cats, or simply just not work as effectively.
I prefer Frontline because it works the best. My mom is a vet tech. She got me to use this product. If you keep your cats indoors, you could get away with one month. I was able to. I haven't had to use it since.Anyone ever used Zodiac brand flea and tic drops for cats?
i have and it seems to work just the same as anything else without costing me a ton.
I'd stick with Revolution. Over the counter products are less effective and more toxic.Anyone ever used Zodiac brand flea and tic drops for cats?
I have used Zodiac, but my cats HATE it--it seems to burn their skin. I use flea collars for my two cats who do not seem to be bothered by fleas, and Frontline on the one that gets flea dermatitis. Yes, Frontline is expensive, but it works the best and my cat does not mind it.
Zodiac is cheap junk. Stick with the Revolution or use Advantage or Frontline Plus. You get what you pay for.
Things you buy from the grocery store and what not usually aren't good-quality and contain more harmful chemicals than things you get from the vet. Either stick with Revolution or get Frontline.
Whatever you do just dont use Hartz Cat Flea medicine

because it is causing very bad problems for cats. I know this from experience. I put it on my male cat and he ended up with a very bad abcess on the side of his face and my poor baby had to have surgery.Also my friends cat which is his sister started having bad seizures and she died from it, this is some really serious stuff.Also here is a blog i found about it.

My wife is a vet and I went with her on her rounds to check on the patients this evening. Two of the cats were violently convulsing all day long and required constant sedation, muscle relaxants which helped but still did not stop their tremors. My wife told me the owners had used Hartz over the counter flea medicine, she said unfortunately she sees this alot. I could not believe it. I used to use the stuff on my cats before I met her and she told me it was a neurotoxin luckily my cats never had the horrible effects. I am completely amazed at the massive amount of press and attention given to the pet food recall which no doubt was a big issue. But the fact that this issue, which is equally problematic, has gone on under the radar for so long with no huge recalls, lawsuits, ect. It is quita appalling and I am greatful that this website is helping to get the word out. I think most people just have no idea. Everytime I go to Walmart now i leave little post it notes on the Hartz cat flea and tick medicine warning whoever may purchase it that it could cause seizures or even kill their cat. I would recommend that many other people do the same. "



So at this point i would say it's alot better to stick with advantage and frontline.
zodiac is toxic to pets especially cats. DO NOT USE OTC FLEA CONTROL!!
