FrontlineŽ
is applied topically directly onto your pet.
It comes as a spot on preparation supplied with a set
of applicator tubes containing the medication, or as
a spray on product.
Treatment with the spot on preparation consists of
one tube emptied behind the neck, in-between the shoulder
blades. If the spray is chosen, a certain number
of "pumps" with the spray applicator per pound
is used all over the pet.
Application is done on a monthly basis for flea control
in the cat, and for tick control in the cat and dog.
It can also be done once every 2-3 months for flea control
in the dog. The pet must not be bathed within
2 days prior to or 2 days after the application of FrontlineŽ.
Once applied, bathing frequency does not affect the
effectiveness of FrontlineŽ.
FrontlineŽ works to migrate along the oil layer
of the skin binding to the skin's oil layer and the
skin glands. It is not absorbed into the system.
Fleas coming into contact with FrontlineŽ are repelled
from the pet, and then die as a result of the contact.
The flea does not need to bite the pet to be affected
by FrontlineŽ.
This product works for both cats and dogs, puppies
and kittens 8 weeks or older. If your pet is
allergic to fleas, this product is a good choice
for flea control. Flea saliva is what pets are
allergic to when bitten by the flea, and FrontlineŽ
does prevent the fleas from biting your pet.
Check with your veterinarian for recommendations on
what's best for your pet.
