The s-methoprene has a similar effect, but on the flea eggs and larva – it stops the growth of fleas before they reach maturity and can bite your dog. Before moving on, we’ll leave you with the comments of ASPCA veterinary toxicologist and senior vice president for animal health services, Dr. Steven Hansen following a 2009 study: However, it is important to keep these anecdotal reports in perspective. They rarely include all of the information one would need to properly assess the situation, and veterinary documentation positively linking Frontline Plus (or the active ingredients it contains) to serious illness is similarly rare. Based on the information submitted, our Suitably Qualified Person may, on occasion, be required to call you to obtain additional information prior to us being able to supply this product.This chemical basically goes undercover and acts like a growth hormone to fleas and other insects – but instead of accelerating affecting growth, it stops the biting bug’s development cold. We also found a few additional studies that examined of other flea treatments that use the same active ingredients(fipronil and s-methoprene). Based on larval hatch (Table 1), excellent control (>95% efficacy) was achieved with the fipronil/(S)-methoprene combination product and (S)-methoprene alone for 6 and 5 weeks, respectively. Excellent control of adult flea development was achieved with the combination product and (S)-methoprene alone for at least 8 and 6 weeks, respectively. “ However, the scientists performing this study didn’t compare Frontline with any other flea treatments. Generally speaking, the peer-reviewed literature reflects as much. For example, a 2011 study found that:

dogs treated with FRONTLINE Plus had 100% efficacy at the 12, 18, and 24 hour assessments on day 1 post treatment, and on days 7, 14, and 21 post-infestation. On day 28, 100% efficacy was achieved by 24 hours post-infestation, and efficacy was >99% at the 12 and 18 hour time points.” Frontline Plus, as the name implies, improves upon the original product (Frontline), and it is designed to take fleas out before they reach maturity. Do not bathe your dog or let them swim for 2 days after application. If your dog is unwell, please see your vet for advice before you apply a flea treatment. FRONTLINE Plus® is a veterinary medicine with a robust safety profile. It can be applied to dogs from 8 weeks of age that weigh at least 2 kg. It can also be used in pregnant and lactating bitches. Prevention isn’t free, and neither is Frontline Plus. While proven to be effective, it’s on the high end of the price spectrum. While it may save you money by avoiding the potential costs of flea shampoo, vet visits, and treatment if you encounter a flea infestation, prevention is still an investment.

The medicine comes in a plastic applicator tube, which is easily snapped open for application to your pup’s shoulders. For continued protection, it’s advised that you reapply it once each month. The reported incidents demonstrated that many but not all pet incidents took place because the products were misused, bolstering the need for clearer labeling. The number of doses included in the box varies. We’ve seen boxes that contain three, six, or eight doses, and it is possible that you may encounter other quantities.
