What is Frontline Plus?

Frontline Plus is a monthly topical flea and tick preventative for pets. It kills 100% of adult fleas on your pet within 12 hours and 100% of all ticks and chewing lice within 48 hours.

Frontline Plus for dogs comes in four different pipette sizes for different weight ranges and you should use the whole of the pipette on your dog. For dogs you should apply it on the back of their necks and on their back in a line, this will ensure your dog is fully protected.

Frontline for cats is just as effective and comes in a smaller variety as cat sizes don’t vary drastically from one another. Frontline is applied to the spot between your cat’s shoulder blades on the skin, and then they will be protected for the next month.

How does Frontline Plus work?

After an application, fipronil and (S)-methoprene spread through the oil-rich surfaces of the skin and concentrate in the oil glands to form a reservoir. A small amount is then continuously released onto the skin surface and hair. This provides long-lasting protection and makes it resistant to the effects of water and shampoo. It is not absorbed into the bloodstream of your pet.

Frontline Plus combines fipronil to kill adult fleas on your pet and (S)-methoprene to kill flea eggs and larvae and stop pupal development.

What are the side effects?

Pets may experience some temporary irritation after application.
