If you own a puppy or dog, you want to keep your pet safe, healthy, and happy. Fleas and ticks can make your dog miserable, as well as possibly cause serious illnesses. Frontline Plus, a once-a-month product, will help you protect your furry friend. Designed for topical application, Frontline Plus controls fleas and ticks, killing 100 percent of adult fleas within 18 hours and 100 percent of all ticks within 48 hours. Frontline Plus also has an ingredient to eliminate the flea eggs and larvae.
Available for use on all dogs over eight weeks old, Frontline Plus utilizes fipronil, a broad-spectrum insecticide and slow-acting poison, to destroy fleas and ticks, and s-methoprene, which kills flea eggs and larvae, preventing future infestations of these annoying pests. With Frontline Plus, the fipronil actually hyper-stimulates the fleas, so they will probably seem overactive just before they die. Frontline Plus also takes care of all four major ticks that can transmit Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Because the active ingredients stay in the sebaceous glands and are excreted through the hair follicles, Frontline Plus is continuously re-applied to the coat for lasting, waterproof protection throughout the month. Frontline Plus has been proven safe for puppies over eight weeks as well as lactating and pregnant dogs.
To apply Frontline Plus, separate your dog’s hair, place the applicator tip in between the shoulder blades and apply the entire vial in that location. Don’t rub in the solution, as that will lessen the effectiveness of the medication. With Frontline Plus, you can bath your pet as usual, but wait for at least 48 hours after the application for best results. Most people begin using Frontline Plus as the weather heats up, from early spring to late summer, since that is the prime time for fleas and ticks.
