Reviews

They took the cat to the dacha for a walk in the fresh air, and then greatly regretted it. Fleas disturbed not only the animal, but also us. Tried a lot funds for catsuntil you came across Stronghold - drops on the withers for dogs. It is not cheap drug. However, if we recount how much money we spent before, without observing the result, then it is even relatively economical. And if you take into account the double effect (the cat also had worms), then the drug is just super! I recommend the effect on the face the very next day.
