Frontline Plus Flea and Tick Treatment for Dogs

Fleas and ticks are the worst enemies of dog. To protect your dog from the harmful effects of flea and tick infestation, Frontline Plus for dogs is the ultimate prevention treatment. This fast-acting topical treatment kills adult fleas within 12 hours of application and ticks within 48 hours of application. The long-lasting effect makes it work for the whole month against flea and brown dog tick attack, and for up to two weeks against paralysis ticks. Being waterproof, Frontline Plus is effective even if dogs have a bath or go for a swim.

Frontline Plus is suitable for puppies 8 weeks of age and above.

How does it work?

Frontline Plus is a monthly topical treatment for fleas and ticks on dogs. It contains two main ingredients – fipronil and (s)-methoprene. Both the ingredients protect dogs from harmful flea infestation.

Fipronil directly attacks adult fleas and kill them for the whole month. This key ingredient gets collected on the hair follicles and oils of the skin, and it is continuously released from the hair follicles onto the skin and coat.

The other active ingredient (S)-methoprene is an insect-growth regulator. It disturbs the life cycle of fleas and ticks, and prevents re-infestation. Acting as insect-growth regulator, it inhibits growth of flea eggs or flea larvae and stops developing them into adult fleas. Thus, kills all life stages of fleas. It further protects canines from future infestation.

Safe for all breeds of dogs, Frontline Plus is effective for lactating and pregnant bitches also.

Fleas can be hard to spot Your pet’s coat is a great place to hide. Fleas can be hard to detect as they move so quickly. It’s often easier to spot the black grit, or flea dirt, that they leave behind rather than the fleas themselves.
They can cause distress In sensitive dogs and cats, fleas can also trigger an allergic condition called flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), a skin disease that is intensely itchy and can result in hair loss and lead to infections and sores on the skin.
Get rid of fleas fast! You need to eliminate all stages of the life cycle to get rid of fleas from your pet and your home. FRONTLINE PLUS for cats and dogs kills all 4 stages of the flea life cycle, to kill fleas and help prevent infestations.
Start early Start early, as soon as you bring a puppy or kitten into your home, treat all cats and dogs you may have and ensure they are treated all year round.
Why it works
EggsFlea eggs represent about one-half of the entire flea population. They fall off pets as they move, scattering eggs in the environment wherever a pet goes.
LarvaeLarvae make up about 35% of an infestation. After hatching from eggs, larvae hide - in dark places, deep in carpet or in cracks in flooring where they feed on flea dirt. They grow and then spin cocoons where they develop in to pupae in a protected environment.
Pupae (cocoons)Pupae account for about 10% of a flea infestation. Pupae are very well protected in their cocoons and virtually indestructible - waiting for the right signal that it's time to emerge as an adult flea.
AdultsAdults seen on your pet represent just 5% of the flea population. Signals, such as a pet walking by or people moving in the house, alert adult fleas to leave their cocoons and jump onto the pet to feed and mate, starting the cycle all over again. Adult fleas typically stay on their host until they die.
