Frontline Plus for Dogs

By Yvonne Ralph


Not only fleas and ticks are a bother to your dogs, it can also cause a number of health-related issues from weightloss to peel sores to even unfavourable changes in the dog's behavior. At The Pet Lovers Network we advocate Frontline Plus for Dogs as the best flea treatment for dogs. It's an, a useful flea and tick treatment product.

What's Frontline Plus for Dogs?

Frontline Plus for dogs is a strongly veterinarian recommended topical medication for destruction and prevention of fleas and ticks. It has two major ingredients- Fipronil which is an insecticide and S-methoprene, an insect growth inhibitor. These chemicals are proved to be less toxic to dogs than other widely utilised treatments.

Is Frontline Plus for Dogs safe?

Frontline Plus has been medically endorsed for all dogs apart from geriatric and fragile dogs. It should be applied only on puppies that are older than eight weeks of age and is also safe to be applied on pregnant and lactating dogs.

How does it work?

Frontline Plus for Dogs kills adult fleas, flea eggs, larvae and even ticks inside a 48 hour period. Unlike other products Frontline Plus disrupts the life cycle of the flea by killing the eggs and larvae. The fipronil present in the product gets soaked up into the oil glands and follicles and are later released on to the dog's coat. This helps in impedance of further flea infestation. A single application works for a complete month.

The right way to use Frontline Plus for Dogs?

The product is extremely convenient to use and widely commended by members of The Pet Lovers Network. You just have to part the fur at the rear of the neck, between the shoulder blades and then apply the complete product directly on the area.

Are there any complications?

The product has been approved by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and hasn't got any significant complications. Some dogs although do whinge about minor irritation on the area where the product is applied, these are often non permanent in nature. If in case the issue still continues, it's best to contact your veterinarian.
