FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why might I see fleas on my pet after applying FRONTLINE PLUS ®/FRONTLINE TRI-ACT ®/FRONTLINE ® SPOT ON?

FRONTLINE PLUS®, FRONTLINE TRI-ACT® and FRONTLINE® SPOT ON kill fleas by affecting their nervous system, making them hyperactive before dying. These dying fleas often rise to the top of the pet’s coat and bounce, so if you see fleas after treatment, it’s often a sign the product has got to work. Find out more about why you may still see fleas after treating your pet.

If you have any concerns, please contact our technical services team at petsuk@boehringer-ingelheim.com or your veterinary surgeon.

Does FRONTLINE PLUS ®/FRONTLINE TRI-ACT ®/FRONTLINE ® SPOT ON stop fleas from jumping onto my pet?

No, in fact no product stops fleas from jumping onto pets. However, fleas are killed after contact with your treated pet: within 24 hours for FRONTLINE PLUS® and FRONTLINE® SPOT ON, or within 6 hours for FRONTLINE TRI-ACT®.

Do fleas and ticks need to bite my pet to be killed by FRONTLINE PLUS ®/FRONTLINE TRI-ACT ®/FRONTLINE ® SPOT ON?

No. FRONTLINE PLUS®, FRONTLINE TRI-ACT® and FRONTLINE® SPOT ON act topically, which means that fleas and ticks are killed through contact with your pet’s skin and coat – they don’t need to bite to be killed.

There are no known health risks associated with applying these products to your pet during pregnancy. As a general rule, pregnant women should wear gloves to avoid direct contact with the product.

How does FRONTLINE PLUS ®/FRONTLINE TRI-ACT ®/FRONTLINE ® SPOT ON work?

Once applied, FRONTLINE PLUS®/ FRONTLINE TRI-ACT®/FRONTLINE® SPOT ON is stored in the sebaceous glands in your pet’s skin and spreads over their whole body surface with their natural oils. Fleas and ticks are killed through contact with your pet’s skin and coat – they don’t need to bite to be killed.

My dog weighs more than 60 kg. Can I use A FRONTLINE ® treatment?

Yes. FRONTLINE PLUS® for extra-large dogs can be used on dogs over 40 kg – there’s no upper weight limit for this product.

What happens if my pet gets wet straight after applying FRONTLINE PLUS®/FRONTLINE TRI-ACT®/FRONTLINE® SPOT ON?

Once FRONTLINE PLUS®, FRONTLINE TRI-ACT® or FRONTLINE® SPOT ON has been applied, it’s recommended to keep your pet out of the rain and away from water (including the sea, streams, rivers and ponds) for the next 48 hours. Don’t bathe them either. If they do come into contact with rain within 48 hours after treatment, it’s unlikely that they’ll get so wet that the product is washed away. However, if your pet gets soaked to the skin then the effectiveness of the treatment may be affected and reapplication may be needed. If this is the case, please contact your veterinary surgeon for advice.
