Overview
A 10 ounce foaming shampoo formulated for cats and kittens that combines a cleaning wash with methoprene, an insect growth regulator, to address fleas, ticks, flea eggs and lice in one step.
Methoprene works by disrupting flea egg and larval development rather than only killing adult fleas on contact, which is why the listing calls out flea eggs specifically alongside live fleas and ticks. It's a shampoo, so any protective effect is tied to the wash itself rather than lasting for weeks like a topical spot-on.
- 10 fl oz foaming shampoo
- Kills fleas, ticks, flea eggs and lice
- Contains methoprene insect growth regulator
- Light fresh scent, cat and kitten formula
Who it's for
Suited to cat owners dealing with an active flea, tick or lice problem who want a wash-in treatment as part of their regular bathing routine. Not a substitute for a monthly preventive if the goal is ongoing protection between baths.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Foaming formula for easier coat coverage during bathing
- Methoprene targets flea eggs, not just adult fleas
- Manufacturer satisfaction guarantee within 90 days
- Protection is limited to the wash, not an ongoing preventive
- Not a stand-alone treatment between baths
Performance notes
The foaming format is designed to work through a cat's coat during bathing, with methoprene targeting flea eggs and larvae so the treatment interrupts the flea life cycle rather than only removing adult fleas. Because it's rinsed off, any protective effect ends with the bath rather than continuing afterward.
