Why the Dosage is Important:
Using the correct dosage of Frontline Plus is important for two reasons: one is to make sure the flea and tick infestation is treated correctly; the other is to make sure that your pet's health is not put at greater risk from over exposure to the active ingredients in the product.
How Frontline Plus Works:
Frontline Plus contains the ingredient fipronil, an insecticide that disrupts the insect central nervous system, and the insect growth regulator methoprene, that effectively targets all kinds of fleas, ticks and lice during any stage of their life cycle.
This treatment targets these insects at different stages of their life cycle makes making Frontline Plus a very practical control treatment that will rapidly eliminate the existing fleas, ticks and lice and prevent them from producing more. As soon as the fipronil gets to the oil of the skin and hair follicles, it spreads to reach all fleas, ticks and lice on the dog's body.
When used every month, Frontline Plus for dogs completely breaks the flea life cycle and controls tick and lice infestations. Frontline Plus also aids in the control of sarcoptic mange infestations and can be used to treat mites. Order
