We live in a Lyme Disease tick area, so I have used this on my cats for years now. Once, some years back, I was neglectful and forgot a monthly application, and one of my cats got Lyme's Disease. Fortunately, having had it my self, I knew how to treat her, and she recovered. But I learned my lesson and have diligently applied it on the first of every month, and we have remained disease-free ever since. That was frightening enough to keep me from screwing up again, and I'm glad to report that I have found Frontline Plus continues to work very well in killing any ticks that attach to the cats, clearly before the ticks can transfer any disease. In addition, I buy the large dog size tubes and then use a syringe to measure out the right amount for each cat, applying it to their scruff area using the syringe. Doing it this way makes treating them extremely economical, especially given the low price that this 3-pack sells for. I'm thrilled to that this affordable product really works.Read full review

I have used this product about 8 years ago and it worked really good. This time, not so much. My dog still has fleas. I bathed him before then after he dried applied the frontline. He is acting like they didn't kill any of them. So.... I wish I would of bought something else. After looking up the website, it says that the fleas should be gone within 24 hours. I saw no difference.

This is a good product so long as it's used continously. It does a good job of keeping the fleas and ticks off of my cats and dogs. It works well as a preventative, meaning you don't already have an infestation. If you're infested with fleas, then I'd reccomend using this product as well as treating the environment and maybe getting a capstar from your vet to get rid of the fleas from your pet. There's been some talk of fleas showing some resistance to it in my area and as I said, it has worked well for me so long as I keep them current on it and start it when there are no fleas present. Always works great for ticks. Just a side note-never put flea collars on your pet-they often contain dangerous levels of irritating chemicals (they are completely unregulated) and they only work where they are applied (i.e. the neck region). The best use for flea collars is in your vaccuum bag when vaccuuming if you have fleas in your home, then make sure to throw the bag away, in an outside trashcan, when you are done.Read full review
I have been using Frontline Plus for more than 1 1/2 years now. It will help get rid of lice on dogs and cats, in addition to being effective to eliminate fleas and ticks. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR VETERINARIAN PRIOR TO INITIATING ANY NEW FLEA, TICK, LICE, and/or MITES treatments for your pets! My only personal complaint is the way Merial measures it for various pets' weights. A more effective measurement is .5 ml per 10 pounds. This is easily accomplished and will save a person money if he/she buys the large dog size; then empties the vial into a container with a seal to store for later. Small syringes without needles work fine to measure the dosage per pet; then apply it per Frontline Plus instructions. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR VETERINARIAN PRIOR TO INITIATING ANY NEW FLEA, TICK, LICE, and/or MITES treatments for your pets! Also, many pesticide products for dogs are toxic to cats.Read full review
The great thing with this product is that it is NOT absorbed by the skin of the animal and transmitted throughout the animals body. It actually spreads externally over the hair of the animal where you expect to find the fleas and ticks. Another wonderful feature is that it starts killing fleas within 12 to 24 hours. I can pretty much assume (and have checked by using a flea comb) that fleas will be dead in 24 hours. If I see a living flea on the animal in the month following application (as the animal will pick them up outside), I know that the flea will die within the next day or two. I don't madly try to catch the flea. Since it also kills flea larva and eggs, I know that the animal won't be bothered where they sleep by biting fleas. I have purchase some of the cheaper products at the grocery store in the pet medicine section, but I find that the animal is still covered with fleas a week later. With the cheaper products, I found that I had to still use flea powder regularly to keep the animal from scratching themselves constantly. With respect to ticks, I don't know if we don't have any in our area or this product just works silently eliminating them also. I have never found one on my pet. The best way to treat the animal is to do it on the first day of each month. You don't have much special to remember if you always do it on the first of the month. I skip treatment in the coldest months. My pet likes to stay inside then. If your climate is warmer however, keep a visual of comb your pet with a flea comb in the winter to make sure they have no fleas. Some folks believe that the fleas are somehow "gone" in the winter. Their life cycle slows down but they do not disappear. You don't want your pet starting Spring loaded with little annoying creatures. Hope the above helps somewhat. Jim in So CalifRead full review
A great product for your pets-BUT I have one dog with no reaction to the medication, and one dog is sensitive, both dogs are of the same breed/bloodlines, both weigh over 150lbs. each. I have tried other products on my animals, one product killed two of my cats and caused seizures in two others-three others were unaffected, so I will not use anything but the Frontline on them now.I got what I paid for and my cats paid the price of my actions. The dog that is sensitive we have to put half doses every 3-4 weeks but at least it keeps the bugs at bay, and we don't have to worry that he is not getting some type of protection from the fleas.We cannot use a strong enough dose to avoid ticks, so we have to keep an eye on that. This is my dog's problematic sensitivities, not the product's fault.Product rates 5 star with me in effectiveness and ease of use.Read full review
In my experience having dogs for many years, there is nothing on the market that can compare to Frontline. There are "me too" products that look like Frontline, but are not as effective. Frontline contains the ingredient fipronil. Fipronil gets in the oils of the skin and hair follicles, and is continually released from the hair follicles onto the skin and coat. It starts to work within 18 to 48 hours of application. This results in a long-lasting treatment against all stages of fleas and ticks. Read more: About Frontline for Dogs | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/about_5106458_frontline-dogs.html#ixzz2EEVVw8Li The Plus version also contains S-Methoprene. Methoprene does not kill adult insects. Instead, it acts as a growth regulator, mimicking natural juvenile hormone of insects. Juvenile hormone must be absent for a pupa to molt to an adult, so methoprene treated larvae will be unable to successfully change from a pupa to the adult insect. This breaks the biological life cycle of the insect preventing recurring infestation. Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methoprene If you have a flea problem, this stuff works well. The fleas just go away, your dog stops itching. You can save money buying it in the big dog dose packages, and use a syringe to measure the proper dose for your dog or cat. Cats get a flat .5 Milliliter. Dog dose varies as to weight. Dogs 11-22 pounds - 0.67ml Dogs 23-44 pounds - 1.34ml Dogs 45-88 pounds - 2.68ml Dogs 89-132 pounds - 4.0ml .036 to .04 per pound if you shoot for the middle of the weight range. Read the label instructions, do the math, and save money. Frontline is readily available on Ebay at a much reduced price. A big dog 89-132 pound 3 dose package can be had for about 30 bucks. Some sellers include a syringe, gloves, and a handy container for leftovers as well as instructions as to how to measure just right for your dog. This review is the sum total of my experience. I am *not* a vet, and my opinions should not replace common sense, instructions for use on the package, nor should you follow my suggestions blindly. Plenty of good information is available on the net and you should check it out and verify for yourself. Ebay is not responsible for foolish misuse of the product. Read the instructions before use.Read full review
THE KITS DON'T WORK LIKE THEY SAY!!! THIS IS AN ABOVE AVERAGE TREATMENT THAT DOES VERY WELL BUT IT IS GOOD TO SWITCH IT UP EVERY NOW AND THEN. I HAVE 7 DOGS AND IT WORKS, HOWEVER, THE KITS DON'T WORK UNLESS YOU USE THAT BROKEN DOWN APPLICATOR IN THE SAME DAY. ONCE THE FACTORY SEAL IS BROKEN ON THAT APPLICATOR, IT STARTS TO GO FLAT LIKE A PEPSI OR COKE DOES. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE "KITS" I WOULD GIVE FRONTLINE PLUS A 5 STAR. I ONCE DID A KIT AND I STORED THAT LITTLE VIAL WITH THE LIQUID IN MY CABINET. AFTER 3 MONTHS, ALL MY DOGS WERE COVERED IN FLEAS AND FOUND A TICK ON ONE OF MY 7 DOGS. THE KIT WORKED THE FIRST MONTH BUT WOULD NOT DO THE JOB AT ALL AFTER THAT.
We purchased this product for our cats. Buying this way (larger qty of product) is far less expensive. Far less! It is the exact same product offered for cats and dogs, just in differing quantities. Same strength however. It is the best product we have found for treating our animals for fleas,ticks etc... Our animals show less signs of irritation or allergic type reactions with this brand/product. After opening the original packaging it is stored in a small amber vial. A 1cc/ml syringe(no sharps)is used to draw up the product and apply to the animal. Much easier than using the original package to apply. Instructions for application/amounts/animal weight would be helpful for first time buyers. A dose of .3-.5cc/ml per 8-15 lb cat is our standard application rate. That is .3-.5cc. Not 3-5cc. We will definitely purchase again.Read full review
Always look up the flea and tick product you purchase for your pet! I bought a VERY expensive flea and tick remover at Petsmart and it made my rottweiler extremely sick! I looked it up and found out it was very common with this product and was even known to kill cats, so always do your research! Frontline is the absolute best kind you can get! Make sure the dates are good, if it's not listed, ask. As soon as we put it on our Rottweiler, my husband found 2 fleas, and we hadn't seen one before, so I know it started working immediately. If we don't use frontline, my dog will itch his bottom until his hair falls out. Frontline is the absolute best product out there for fleas and ticks!
