Product Overview
Frontline Plus for Dogs is a topical flea and tick treatment designed for large dogs weighing 45 to 88 pounds. This fast-acting, long-lasting, and waterproof solution effectively kills fleas, flea eggs, flea larvae, chewing lice, and ticks, including those that may transmit Lyme disease. It is formulated with fipronil and (S)-methoprene to break the flea life cycle and prevent further infestations. Trusted by pet owners for over 20 years, Frontline Plus can be used on puppies as young as eight weeks old, weighing 5 pounds or more. Applied monthly to a single spot on your dog, the treatment spreads across the body and is stored in the sebaceous glands, providing continuous protection even if your dog gets wet.

Maintenance
Consistent monthly application is key to maintaining effective flea and tick control. Ensure all pets in the household are treated appropriately and regularly to prevent re-infestation and break the flea life cycle. The product is waterproof 24 hours after application, allowing normal bathing and swimming routines to continue without compromising efficacy.
Troubleshooting
While Frontline Plus is generally well-tolerated, individual sensitivities can occur. Observe your dog closely after application for any adverse reactions.
Potential Adverse Reactions (Rare):
- Restlessness
- Itching
- Vomiting
- Difficulty Breathing
- Lethargy
Important: Should any of these symptoms occur, immediately contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary clinic.
If you notice fleas or ticks after application, ensure the product was applied directly to the skin and not just the hair. Also, confirm that the correct dosage for your dog's weight was used and that monthly applications are consistent. Severe infestations may require additional environmental control measures in your home.
