What is Frontline PLUS Spot-on for Small Dogs?

Frontline PLUS Spot-on for Small Dogs is an effective medicine used to kill fleas and ticks and treat infestations of biting lice. It is the best advanced formula from the Frontline range (the original spot-on formula used by vets). It works to kill fleas, and also stops their eggs from hatching and therefore stops them from spreading in your home.

The solution works rapidly to provide quick relief from flea and tick infestations. It kills ticks within 48 hours and fleas within 24 hours and it even helps to reduce the risk of tick-borne diseases. The solution is also effective at killing lice and can be used on puppies from 8 weeks of age and/or weighing above 1kg.

Frontline PLUS Spot-on for Small Dogs comes as a pre-filled pipette of solution, designed to be applied directly to the skin. The medicine has been developed specifically for Small Dogs. This is for dogs that weigh between 2kg and 10kg including breeds such as a cavalier king charles spaniel, jack russell terrier or pug. 

If you are looking to treat a parasitic infestation in a dog of another size or a cat then be sure to request a suitable alternative instead.

For year-round protection, be sure to use Frontline PLUS Spot-on for Small Dogs on a 6-8 weekly basis to avoid and prevent further parasitic infestations.

How does Frontline PLUS Spot-on for Small Dogs work?

The active ingredients in Frontline PLUS Spot-on for Small Dogs are Fipronil and (S)-methoprene. Fipronil is the active ingredient in other Frontline products, and it works to over-stimulate the nervous system of the parasite on contact. It works to kill 98-100% of adult fleas within the first 24 hours and keeps working for up to 8 weeks in dogs.

The addition of (S)-methoprene in Frontline PLUS helps the treatment to not only eliminate adult fleas, but also their eggs, larvae and pupae to prevent multiplication.

Instructions for Frontline PLUS Spot-on for Small Dogs

When you receive the medication, it’s important to read and understand the dosage instructions. The strength and dose of the medication may depend on the size of your dog.

Always use medications as directed. The content of a full pipette needs to be applied directly to your dog’s skin, so begin by parting their hair. Apply the solution to your dog’s neck, just at the base of the skull.

If you have more than one pet, ensure that animals do not lick or groom each other until after the treatment has dried. Apply the solution every 6-8 weeks for ongoing flea and tick protection.

Important: Do not use on rabbits as this could cause severe side effects or even death.
