FAQs

How do I apply Stronghold Plus to my cat?

Part the fur at the base of your cat’s neck and apply the entire contents of the tube directly to the skin, between the shoulder blades. Ensure it is applied to the skin and not just the fur

If you miss a dose of Stronghold Plus, apply it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to the time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular monthly schedule. Do not apply two doses at once

What happens if a cat licks Stronghold Plus?

If a cat licks Stronghold Plus, it may experience hypersalivation (excessive drooling) due to the bitter taste of the product. This reaction is usually brief and self-limiting.
