‘Cat stored itching’ till pal beneficial vet-approved free flea remedy
Dog and cat parents have praised Itch’s ‘fantastic’ product and now customers can get their initial month free by merely covering postage
Cat owners say Itch’s product is ‘great’
Merely five fleas on an untreated pet can rapidly escalate into a massive infestation, generating over a million eggs within just weeks. This occurs because fleas breed at an alarming rate, with a single female capable of laying up to 50 eggs daily, beginning just 24 hours after mating.
In the warm, humid conditions typical of many UK households during the recent warm clammy weather we’ve been having, these eggs develop into larvae, then transform into pupae before emerging as adult fleas. The entire lifecycle can span just a few weeks, which explains why a minor flea issue can swiftly spiral into an uncomfortably large infestation without prompt intervention, but there is a treatment that can help.
Specialists at Itch emphasise that due to this rapid reproduction, pet owners must treat both their beloved companions and their homes on a regular basis. Pet treatments eliminate adult fleas and prevent eggs from developing, with monthly flea treatments for dogs or cats providing ongoing protection against infestation.

To simplify pet care responsibilities, Itch provides a subscription service delivering treatments on a scheduled basis. The initial month is currently available at no cost, helping people establish continuous protection while temperatures stay elevated.
To claim this complimentary offer, customers need only cover postage costs of £2.99. For those subscribing to the ongoing service, monthly charges start from £8.50, with free delivery included, reports the Daily Record.
To guarantee that your cherished pets remain itch and flea-free throughout the year, the specialists at Itch customise the correct dosage for each cat or dog according to their breed and size to ensure you get the ideal safe and effective treatment for them. Customers simply need to respond to a few brief questions about their pet and Itch will suggest the appropriate remedy for them.
The vet-endorsed treatment features fipronil, which eliminates adult fleas, and (S)-methoprene, which prevents eggs and larvae from maturing. It’s demonstrated to tackle and ward off infestations, though owners should also treat their homes with a spray, vacuum frequently, and wash pet bedding at 60°C or higher to completely eliminate fleas.
Vet endorsed and scientifically validated to destroy and prevent fleas, it also eliminates ticks as well. Providing protection without obligation, Itch also permits customers to pause, adjust or cancel their subscription whenever they wish.
There are numerous well-established flea treatment brands that can be utilised as alternatives to Itch. One of the most recognised is Frontline, which is readily obtainable on Amazon priced at £14.09 (was £17.49) and employs the same active ingredient as Itch.

If your pet cannot tolerate that ingredient, Advantage presents another choice for £17.93, utilising imidacloprid to effectively combat fleas in both cats and dogs. Nevertheless, these alternatives may demand more investigation to locate the correct product and dosage, while Itch streamlines the process by pairing treatments to your pet automatically.
Itch boasts of receiving thousands of five-star reviews from pet owners. One purchaser commented: “I have been using this for only a couple of months and I’m very impressed with the results. I have found no fleas on her since using this, unlike some others I have used.
“My cat hates having flea spot ons, as in the past they have caused irritation to her skin and the loss of her fur. Itch flea treatment works a treat. So easy to use without any issues.”
Another commented: “Takes the Stress out of flea and worm treatment for my dog. I know that he is due for treatment when it lands on the doorstep and I am confident it is the right dosage for his size, lifestyle and weight.”

A third remarked: “Fantastic…the only product that actually worked.” Some customers were less satisfied though, with one three-star review observing: “Service and delivery excellent. Unfortunately the treatment did not work on my dog.”
Despite this, someone else said: “My friend recommended this brand, my cat kept itching and I used another brand but this was brilliant. Great product, highly recommend.”
Another thrilled customer shared: “At first I was sceptical about paying monthly for treatments but it’s actually the best way to do it. The medication arrives monthly and I’m sure I would forget if I relied on myself to keep track of things. Thank you my little girl has no fleas or worms and she’s always up to date with her treatments.”
