Description

This product is sourced in the United Kingdom and is intended for use in the United Kindgom only.

Stronghold provides one of the most complete parasite treatments available in one easy spot-on application. The contents of one pipette are emptied onto the skin of the back of the neck once a month. The active ingredient is absorbed through the skin and for 1 month it will kill fleas, lice, worms and mites wherever they are, either inside, or on the surface of, the body. In areas where heartworm is found, Stronghold prevents this too, which is important for dogs and cats traveling to Europe on the Pet Travel Scheme.

For a full explanation of the parasite control provided by Stronghold, read the relevant datasheet by clicking on the individual products below.

55 Cheaper than the vets
Verified Purchase

By on 28 June 2022

This works and there are no side effects, does leave the area a little crusty for a day.
But once its on you can forget it for another month.I have started to buy this by a prescription as it still works out cheaper than buying direct from my vets.

Q & A

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Stronghold Spot On for Dogs & Cats, including answers from our team.

13 February 2023 at 6:17pm

Can I reapply a few days early?

Marie

Our New puppy had her first one at 6 weeks and is now 9 weeks 3 days, we brought her home 2 days ago and I’m sure I’ve seen fleas on her. They did supply an extra one so I’m wondering if I can apply now. Many thanks.

  • VioVet Staff

The datasheet for Stronghold states the following regarding dosing:
Stronghold should be administered at monthly intervals throughout the flea season.

Using the product sooner than this is off license and so we cannot advise this. If applied correctly then the medication should still be active up to when the next month's dose is due, applying more before then is unlikely to help and may be an overdose. If you are concerned about fleas then it is suggested you see a professional who can diagnose the issue. Your local vet or vet nurse can help you with this.

Do I need a prescription?

Lashes81

Do I need a prescription for stronghold plus? It's just flea and worm treatment so I don't get why I'd need to pay high prices to get 3 cats a prescription

  • VioVet Staff

Yes you need a written prescription to purchase this medication from us. There are over the counter non prescription flea/worm treatment options though. I recommend checking out Advantage/Frontline Plus and Dronspot to flea/worm your cat if you would like alternative options.
It is worth noting that over the counter products will not cover mites though, only prescription products like Stronghold will do this.

Usage for kittens under 1kg

Kittens under 1kg

Can I use this for kittens under 1kg and from how many weeks onwards?
Thank you

  • VioVet Staff

This is a prescription only medication so you should run any use past your prescribing vet. The datasheet for this product only states 'Do not use in animals under 6 weeks of age' and it does not reference a minimum weight, implying it should be safe for use in a kitten under 1kg if over 6 weeks of age.

Which Stronghold

Patricia Baker

Will all the Stronghold flea treatments also treat ear mites or only Stronghold treatment plus.

  • VioVet Staff

Yes, the normal Stronghold Spot On is licensed for the treatment of ear mites (Otodectes cynotis).

Out of date flea treatment

Caesar’s Mum

Spotted a flea on my dog. Applied stronghold flea treatment before realising the treatment was an old one, 1 year out of date. The day after application I found a wriggling flea-not jumping. Also the same a day later. Today is 5 days after application I have found a jumping flea on my dog.
Has the treatment been unsuccessful, should I reapply a new treatment?

  • VioVet Staff

It is not recommended to use a medication beyond its expiry date as it is unknown whether the medication will work properly or not. Stronghold is a prescription only flea medication so I recommend running this question past your prescribing vet as giving a dose now could be an overdose.

Lungworm

leanne

does this prevent or treat lungworm (as only heartworm prevention is mentioned)?
if not what other products do i need to prevent AND treat it please?

  • VioVet Staff

Stronghold Spot On contains Selamectin as the active ingredient which is not indicated for the prevention and treatment of lungworm. Products containing either Moxidectin or Milbemcyin will cover this.
Canine lungworm is within the UK and it is advised to prevent against clinical infestation where possible. Only prescription wormers will cover this so you should chat to your vet for a written prescription if you wish to purchase any with us.

Tapewormer?

Gilly

I use stronghold plus on my cat. Do I have to use a different tapewormer as well as this?

  • VioVet Staff

Normal Stronghold will cover fleas/lices/mites and roundworms. Stronghold Plus covers the above and ticks too. Neither will cover tapeworm so we recommend using a tapewormer alongside this ideally every 3 months for the average cat. Droncit Spot On or Beaphar WORMClear Spot On are products that will do this.

Diabetes and IBS

Fliella18

Hi I have a cat who has diabetes and IBS. Is this safe to use on him? Thanks

  • VioVet Staff

Yes this product can be safely applied to your cat with Diabetes and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Stronghold for cats

George my cat

How long does it take before I see no more fleas on George ?

  • VioVet Staff

Good Morning,

Thank you for your question, it takes 2-3 hours to kill the fleas. We do recommend that the house is treated to, to help prevent the cat from getting re-infected as fleas lay the larvae in sofas, blankets and other household items. We also recommend putting all blankets ect. in the washing machine on a boiling wash to kill any larvae and fleas present.

I hope this helps, if you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact us.

Photosensitive

bonjour

is stronghold still effective when they are in the sun bathing everyday?

  • VioVet Staff

It is true that ultra-violet radiation tends to degrade many compounds, but the active ingredient of Stronghold (Selamectin) is absorbed hrough the skin and so is out of reach of the UV. I am sure it will remain effective despite sunbathing.
