Protection against ticks

Excursions into nature can bring unpleasant guests for dogs such as fleas, ticks and lice.These arachnids often wait in tall grass to attach themselves to a host.In order not to bring unwanted guests home with you, you should check your dog thoroughly after every walk and carefully remove any ticks you find.A tick repellent such as Frontline Spot On is recommended to kill the arachnids before they bite.Frontline Dog also works against other parasites.

How does Frontline work?

The Spot On contains fipronil, which is distributed throughout the dog's body through the sebaceous glands in the skin.This process is harmless to dogs and people.Fipronil has a highly selective effect only in the nervous system of the parasites.The active ingredient takes effect from the first contact with the treated animal and kills the ticks and fleas.This means that a bite does not have to occur before the protective agent takes effect.This reduces the risk of disease transmission.

How long does Frontline last?

Frontline Spot on Dog should be reapplied to your pet's skin surface approximately every four weeks.After this time, the effect wears off, allowing arachnids and fleas to survive on your pet again.Even if your four-legged friend doesn't go outside often, you should keep the treatment at this distance.

How do I use Frontline?

Bend the tip of the pipette at the perforated area.Part your four-legged friend's fur until the skin is visible.The best place for this is between the shoulder blades so that your dog or bitch cannot lick off the active ingredient.Place the pipette tip directly on the surface of the skin and empty the pipette completely with the solution.

What should I pay attention to when using it?

Always treat all pets in the household.Otherwise, untreated four-legged friends become a risk for new infections.The pipettes are weight-matched - if your dog weighs more than 10 kilograms, you will need a larger size.Do not bathe your animal for 48 hours before or after treatment.

Application recommendation

Frontline should be used regularly to ensure complete protection.It remains effective against adult fleas for 8 weeks and against ticks for up to 4 weeks.The spot on principle is easy to use in 3 steps: Take the pipette out of the blister and bend the pipette tip, part the animal's fur in the neck region until the skin is visible, and place the pipette tip directly on the skin and empty the contents completely.

How does Frontline work?

After application, the active ingredient spreads over the upper layers of the animal's skin within 1-2 days.The active ingredient is stored in the sebaceous glands and is continuously released into the dog's fur and skin along with the sebum.Parasites absorb the active ingredient through the shell when they come into contact with fur and skin and are thus killed.Frontline Spot on can be used on dogs weighing more than 2 kg, regardless of the animal's age, including pregnant or lactating bitches.Physical contact with the treated animal is harmless once the application area has dried.
