In order to get rid of all the fleas you will also need to vacuume your house often including upholstered furniture and carpeted and uncarpeted floors. Put flea powder in the vacuum cleaner bag and discard the bag outside in the trash. This will hopefully remove larvae which live on house dust as well as flea eggs. For every flea you see on your cat, there are at least 10 more fleas in his environment. You can reapply the petarmor in a few days. Make sure it is the preparation for cats and make sure to apply it on the skin between the shoulder blades after parting the hair. Unfortunately, there are fleas that are resistant to fipronil, which is the active ingredient of Petarmor.

Pet Armor is the same active ingredient as Frontline. As long as you applied the correct cat product your cat should be fine. The product is very bitter and nasty tasting, that's why she drooled. To prevent this in the future, be careful to apply the product high on the back of your cat's head and neck only. Watch your cat for signs of illness just to be safe.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! In my opinion, the best two flea and tick preventative medications are Bravecto and Frontline plus. Any of those would be good options for him. Good luck and have a good night!

If you want an effective product please use one of newer ones like Cheristin. I don't think you will get any better results with Advantage. It is recommended to wait a minimum of 3 weeks between product applications. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=115569 While you wait you can get Capstar and give him that every couple days if need be. One pill lasts 24 hours but will kill everything on him. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/capstar-flea-tablets-for-cats-2-25-lbs You also need to treat the house or the fleas will keep getting on him. I recommend Knockout Spray ES: https://www.chewy.com/virbac-knockout-es-area-treatment/dp/53856

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Thankfully, you have a few options here. I recommend you consider using a product called Capstar which is to kill a lot of fleas at once to complement a flea preventative product like Advantage. You can go ahead and give another dose of Advantage now as well. I would not give up on Advantage just yet. Continue to use it for now as this flea may be was a one time occurrence and the Advantage was still being effective. Another option is switching to Bravecto now though again Advantage may still be effective so it may be best to exhaust its use. Good luck and have a great day!
