FRONTLINE® PLUS for Dogs contains the active ingredients fipronil and (S)-methoprene. The dual action protects your dog against fleas and ticks.
FRONTLINE® PLUS for Dogs spreads from the single point of applidogion, rapidly covering the entire dog and localizing in the hair, on the surface of the skin and in the sebaceous glands. These glands act as a reservoir, continuously replenishing FRONTLINE® PLUS for Dogs onto the skin and hair coat, so it keeps working even if the dog gets wet. Fleas and ticks are killed quickly after coming into contact with a treated dog. Fleas and ticks do not need to bite in order to die.
FRONTLINE® PLUS for Dogs also has the additional ingredient (S)-methoprene. This ingredient is an insect growth regulator (IGR) which prevents all flea stages (eggs, larvae, and pupae) from developing.
One dose (pipette) of FRONTLINE® Plus for Dogs should be applied once per month to protect against fleas and ticks. Year-round application is essential for pets in many parts of the country.
No, FRONTLINE® Plus for Dogs is an effective treatment against fleas and ticks that works for a full month. If applied correctly and on a regular monthly basis, you do not need to use any other treatments while using FRONTLINE® Plus for Dogs.
Yes, although the likelihood of your 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 dog throughout the year.
Yes, even ‘indoor-only’ 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 dog can pick up fleas and ticks in your own backyard! Your dog could also be exposed if an untreated animal visits your home or if you or a friend brings in fleas on shoes or clothing.
You are likely seeing NEW fleas on your pet, which are jumping on your dog as it moves through infested areas in and around your home. These fleas will be killed by FRONTLINE® PLUS for Dogs before they can reproduce. Depending on the severity of the existing infestation, you may continue to see new fleas jumping on your pet for three months or more. To prevent new infestations, continue to apply FRONTLINE® PLUS for Dogs MONTHLY throughout the year.
FRONTLINE® PLUS for Dogs kills fleas by overstimulating the flea nervous system, and hyperexcited fleas may move to the top of the haircoat before they die. So, seeing fleas on top of the haircoat after applying FRONTLINE® PLUS for Dogs can be an indication that the product is working.
FRONTLINE® PLUS for Dogs kills ticks, but after treatment, ticks may still attach to your pet. If you see an attached tick on your dog, it is recommended for the tick to be removed and discarded (please see CDC recommendations on Tick Removal).
Flea infestations are unpleasant for you and your dog, and can take three months or more to resolve, so be patient. Follow these steps to help resolve the problem:
Apart from visually seeing fleas on your dog or in your home, other signs that your dog might have fleas include increased itching, scratching, licking, nibbling and over-grooming which can lead to damaged hairs or patches of hair loss. You may also see small dark red or black specks on your dog’s skin, bedding or on furniture.
Dogs pick up fleas from anywhere untreated dogs have been – indoors or outdoors. Fleas on an untreated dog (or other animal host) can lay many eggs. Each female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day. These eggs fall off into the environment, and over a period of weeks to months, these eggs develop into new adult fleas ready to jump onto your dog.
Using the correct pack size ensures your dog receives the optimum dose for which the product has been shown to be effective.
Your dog needs to be dry at the time FRONTLINE® Plus for Dogs is applied and remain dry 24 hours after application.
FRONTLINE® Plus for Dogs has no expiration date.
A study showed that within 12 hours, FRONTLINE® Plus for Dogs killed 100% of fleas.
Read entire label and enclosed directions before each use.
Keep cats away from treated dogs for 24 hours or until product has dried. If applied to a cat or ingested by a cat, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Yes, FRONTLINE® PLUS for Dogs can be used on any breed of dog.
FRONTLINE® PLUS for Dogs is approved for use in pregnant and lactating dogs.

Fleas rise to the top of your pet's coat as they die, so consider it a triumph if you start seeing more fleas at first, after treating your pet. If you’re still seeing fleas after application, it may be because your pet has picked up new fleas from the environment, which may include other pets, surfaces and outdoor areas. It may take up to 90 days to break the entire flea life cycle. Additionally, you should also treat sources of new fleas (i.e., carpet, yard, etc.) to ensure complete flea control.
My poodle has been on Frontline Plus monthly since she was 2 months old. Today at 10 months she has tested positive for Lyme disease and will need to be treated with antibiotics for a month. This could have canceled her surgery today as Lyme can affect platelets, but thankfully did not in her case. Cannot recommend.
This is the second time I received frontline from Chewy where the box holding the medicine was already open. Not ordering from them again. Who knows what someone might have switched the medicine for. I have had other companies tell me they no longer sell this because someone tampered with their medicine. I thought Chewy would be more careful with their products. Guess not
I tried a different flea treatment and it didn't work. Chewy had the one that we've used in the past. It came in time and I was able to ward off additional infestation.
I have two dogs, thought I would try it out. I have used three months supply for both of them and yet I continue to find fleas crawling in their white fur. Would not recommend.
We live in a tick infested area of the country. Product is easy to apply and repels ticks in my dog who spends a lot of time outdoors. While we find an occasional tick crawling on his fur after hikes in the woods, the ticks do not attach to our dog. Very happy with this product!
Dog still has fleas. Waste of money. Hi fffffffffffffffffffffffff
We have used this product for years. No adverse effects on our dog with no fleas or ticks. Works well.
As always your delivery was prompt and correct. Thanks!
Love everything about this- no ticks, easy to apply, dries quick, doesn't smell. Chewy.com pharmacy worked directly with my vet to get it approved, had it in days!
I had to switch to prescription, this does not work.
