Why Frontline?
- Veterinarians recommend Frontline products. Frontline is the number one veterinarian-recommended product for flea and tick protection for both dogs and cats.
- Frontline is fast and effective. Extensive testing has proven Frontline to effectively kill all fleas within only 12 hours of application. Frontline not only kills adult fleas, but also inhibits eggs and larvae from developing, effectively breaking the flea and tick lifecycle.
- Frontline is long lasting. Unlike flea baths and other products that protect your dog or cat for a just a few days or weeks, Frontline continues to kill fleas, ticks and their eggs for an entire month.
- Frontline is safe. Frontline products are gentle enough for use on puppies and kittens (eight weeks or older), as well as on dogs or cats that are pregnant or lactating.
- Frontline is waterproof. Frontline products are specially formulated to resist water, which means that Fido can go swim in the lake and Fluffy can groom all she wants without affecting product performance.

Frontline Plus is a spot-on treatment that is applied between your pet’s shoulder blades using an applicator. The active ingredient in Frontline products, called fipronil, is stored in your pet’s oil glands and distributed through their hair follicles. Within 12 hours of application, Frontline kills adult fleas and ticks and prevents eggs and larvae from developing, continuing to protect your pet for a full month.
As you can see, there are many reasons to use Frontline for flea and tick protection, but don’t forget that in order to completely eradicate the problem you also need to clean and treat your home, including the indoor and outdoor environment. Any surface that your pet has come into contact with could harbor flea or tick eggs and larvae. Left untreated, these will develop into adult fleas and ticks. While your dog or cat will remain protected, thanks to Frontline, the rest of your home and family will not. Several sprays, foggers and other products are available to treat your home.
There are no known reactions between Frontline and other pet medications, and side effects are rare, but it doesn’t hurt to consult with your veterinarian about which product is best for your pet.
