  • Doesn't work

    Doesnt work at all. Instore tried to tell me it can take 2 weeks to work and "only something very strong will work within 48 hours and may hurt the cat" not what it says on their website. Rubbish.

    • Defence flea treatment

      Absolutely rubbish used for three months with no results house was treated but fleas on my cat would no die do not get brainwashed by the staff trying to convince you into buying it waste of money and the cat suffers in the long run

      • Had to give it at least 1 star, it would have been 0

        We started using on defense about 6 months ago on subscription. I can say it was a total waste of money. We started to get overrun by the high jumping little bloodsuckers, to the point where I just closed off our spare bedroom (cat room.) We went out and bought some super high strength flea spray and blitzed the whole house. Our cat was still carrying a lot of her hitchhiker friends, so we made the switch to advantage. There was a vast improvement after only a couple of days and the bonus is, advantage is 50p cheaper on subscription. Win win. Avoid ON DEFENSE!!

          • Useless, made no difference in my two cats.

            My two cats were treated with this product the 3dr of March, the entire flat was desinfected and the cats combed every single day, NO difference whatsowever, this product is completely ineffective and now we can not treat the cats until the 3rd of April, absolutely awful, they are still full of fleas and we can't du nothing for another 10 days because of this awful product. Please do never buy this.

            • Waste of money, don't buy

              My puppy still has fleas days after the treatment and it doesn't look like they're dying off anytime soon as they're still running around. I've cancelled my subscription and won't be buying again.
