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

How does it work?

Frontline Plus for Dogs kills adult fleas, flea eggs, larvae and even ticks within a 48 hour period. Unlike the other products Frontline Plus interrupts the life cycle of the flea by killing the eggs and larvae. The fipronil present in the product gets absorbed into the oil glands and hair follicles and are later released on to the dog’s coat. This assists in impedance of further flea infestation. A single application works for a whole month.

How to use Frontline Plus for Dogs?

The product is exceedingly 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 entire product at once on the area.

Some dogs though do complain of minor irritation on the area where the product is applied, these are more then likely temporary in nature. If in case the issue still persists, it’s best to contact your vet.
