How It Works
Frontline Plus contains two active ingredients for comprehensive parasite protection:
- Fipronil (100g/L) – Kills adult fleas and ticks on contact.
- (S)-methoprene (90g/L) – An insect growth regulator that prevents flea eggs and larvae from maturing, stopping future infestations.
Once applied, the treatment spreads within 24 hours, storing in the hair follicles and skin oils. It is then continuously released, ensuring ongoing protection for your dog.
Directions for Use
- Read the inner carton panels for full instructions before use.
- Suitable for dogs and puppies from 8 weeks of age.
- DO NOT USE on rabbits.
- Snap off the top of the pipette along the scored line.
- Choose an area your dog cannot lick, such as the back of the neck.
- Part the coat until the skin is visible.

Treatment Frequency
- Fleas: Apply monthly to prevent infestations.
