I was wondering if anyone uses Triforce for their cats or has any information about it good or bad?

I am looking for something that repels mosquitoes as well as fleas and ticks for my cats who travel and go outside on leash... Most of the spot-on treatments for cats I've seen don't include mosquitoes. Triforce does but I have not heard anything about it so I wanted to know if anyone had any experiences before I use it.

You might as well use Hartz - it's in the same category as far as how dangerous it can be. It is newer, so not as many people may have heard of it.

Personally, I wouldn't put it on my cats and wouldn't want to be around a cat treated with anything like that. To actually repel mosquitoes the levels of the pesticide would have to stay fairly strong on the cat's skin.

I can't say I've ever heard of it...but I'm up in Canada. I would strongly suggest using a vet reccomended flea control (advantage, revolution, program, etc)

These pet store brands scare me, not only can they be dangerous, but also not effective!!

I've heard that Bayer is now selling Advantage through pet stores in the USA....is that true? Causing a but of an uproar here in our Canadian clinics, but all I can say is that as long as you're using it properly, have the right dose for the right weight, then it's only fair, I suppose (just my thoughts)
