Frontline makes flea and tick treatments for dogs as well as cats. Make sure you use the medication designed for your pet. The dosages are sold according to the weight of the pet. Check the weight recommendations on the package and get a dosage appropriate for your pet’s weight.
There are perforated lines between each applicator. You can separate the applicators by tearing or cutting along the perforated line. Be careful when separating the applicators. You want to make sure you do not tear an applicator and spill a dosage of Frontline.
Make sure to do this away from your face to avoid getting the chemicals in your eyes. If the tip does not come off easily, you can use scissors to cut it off.
Place the tip of the applicator onto your pet’s skin. Squeeze the vial and empty all of the liquid onto your pet’s skin. Try to avoid getting any liquid on your pet’s hair.
If you get any Frontline on your hands, quickly wash your hands in soap and water.
Do not bathe your pet after applying Frontline. Frontline should be effective on its own to treat fleas and ticks. A flea bath or dip is not necessary. Do not let your cat or dog swim for 48 hours after applying Frontline.
It’s important to reapply Frontline regularly. Even if an infestation has cleared up, fleas and flea larvae may be present in your home. You want to make sure your cat or dog is continually protected from fleas and ticks.
If your pet has any underlying health concerns, you should talk to a vet in addition to reading the instructions manual.
If you accidentally used Frontline on the wrong type of pet, contact your vet immediately. Your pet could have an adverse reaction. If you want a product that can be used on both cats and dogs, look into Frontline spray.
