Do I need to treat my cat or dog for fleas and ticks even in colder months?

Yes, although the likelihood of your cat or dog being affected by fleas decreases in the winter months, climates can vary and result in mild winters, favoring the survival of fleas outdoors for much longer. Fleas can also continue to develop indoors in homes thanks to warmer temperatures. Ticks can also be a problem year-round with some species of ticks attempting to acquire a host when temperatures are just above freezing. Therefore, it’s important to keep protecting your cat or dog throughout the year.

My cat or dog doesn’t go outside much, do I still need to treat them for fleas and ticks?

Yes, even ‘indoor-only’ cats or dogs can become exposed to fleas. For instance, ‘indoor-only’ dogs still spend time outdoors whether it be to go on a walk or just going to the bathroom outside. Your animals can pick up fleas and ticks in your own backyard! Your pet could also be exposed if an untreated cat or dog visits your home or if you or a friend brings in fleas on shoes or clothing.

Why might I see fleas and ticks on my cat or dog after treatment?

FRONTLINE® SPRAY kills fleas by affecting their nervous system, making them hyperactive before dying. These dying fleas often rise to the top of the cat’s or dog's coat. So, if you feel like you may be seeing fleas more after treatment, it could actually be a sign that the product is working! FRONTLINE SPRAY kills ticks, but after treatment, ticks may still attach to your pet. If you see an attached tick on your cat or dog, it is recommended for the tick to be removed and discarded (please see CDC recommendations on Tick Removal).
