Why Choose
Frontline Plus? |
Frontline is
recommended by more veterinarians for flea and tick control for
dogs and cats than any other brand.
Frontline
Plus offers long-lasting and the most complete flea and tick
control available by quickly killing 100% of the fleas and ticks
on your pet within 48 hours or less.
In
addition to the same strong coverage offered by Frontline Top
Spot,
Frontline Plus also kills flea eggs and larvae.
Frontline Plus completely breaks the flea life cycle by
effectively stopping the development of new fleas and it kills
all stages of 4 major ticks including the one which may carry
Lyme disease. The benefits of Frontline Plus include:
Frontline
kills 98 to 100% of existing fleas in less than 24 hours and
continues to provide fast-acting, long-lasting flea and tick
control for 30 days or more. The active ingredient in Frontline
products is Fipronil, which is stored under your pet's skin, in
the oil glands. As a result, Frontline is continuously
reapplied to the skin and hair through the hair follicles
making it waterproof. Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole
antiparasitic agent. Fipronil's mechanism of action in
invertebrates is to interfere with the passage of chloride ions
in GABA regulated chloride channels, which effectively disrupts
CNS activity.
Frontline
Plus also contains the active ingredient Methoprene which is an
insect growth regulator (IGR). Methoprene works on certain
pests in their immature (egg and larvae) stages, which breaks
the cycle of infestations and prevents re-infestations.
Immature pests exposed to Methoprene do not reach adulthood and
cannot reproduce.
To apply,
simply squeeze Frontline Plus or Top Spot between your pet's
shoulders and the active ingredient, fipronil, will quickly
dissolve into the natural oils of the skin and coat. It rapidly
spreads over your pet's entire body to provide long-lasting,
waterproof flea and tick control that keeps working for a full
30 days. |
