The service from the seller was great, and this product has never failed me with my two large-breed dogs who otherwise are nice bait for fleas and ticks. They live indoors with me, and make summers and dry seasons here in the South so much more enjoyable. Easy once-a-month treatment, and unlike topical treatments, you can bathe them/let them swim/get wet without worrying about the treatment’s effectiveness.

“Program” by Novartis is very effective in controlling fleas for the long term, but only after they are brought under control in the home and yard and on the pet with some type of insecticide – as Program does not kill adult fleas. I like Program because it is not an insect poison, but rather breaks the life cycle of the flea so that when an adult lays its zillions of eggs, these never mature into adults but die as larva.
They die because the active ingredient in Program does not allow them to form the proper exoskeleton or chitin. In my research of this chemical, it was stated that no known amount of it ingested by a human would hurt a human. That was good enough for me. I would rather not have my dogs full of insecticide all the time, like with a product like FrontLine, if possible. Also, since we live near a river, Frontline seemed to get washed off all the time, reducing its effectiveness so that I could not control fleas. Then I found out about Program and all is well for several years now with three big dogs on 1 1/2 fenced acres.
If you have ticks, however, as we do, you may want to supplement Program with a standard flea collar.
