Description
Fleas are not the only issue! Frontline Plus for Dogs also attacks ticks and chewing lice to stop your pet from itching and scratching. This monthly topical medication works thoroughly to kill up to 99.99% of existing fleas within the first 12 hours!
It also effectively eliminates eggs and larvae to stop the flea life cycle and prevent reinfestation. Frontline Plus is extremely effective by combining the perfect combination of fipronil and s-methoprene to eliminate fleas, ticks, and lice for good!
Fipronil is a neurotoxin that spreads all over your pet’s body after application to kill every flea hiding in each corner of fur. As a topical treatment, it kills adult fleas on contact before they get a chance to bite your pet. This gives your best friend additional protection from parasitic transmitted diseases such as Lyme disease and flea allergy dermatitis.
S-methoprene is the perfect complement to fipronil. It is an insect growth regulator that acts as an insect hormone to prevent the development and growth of flea eggs and larvae. Because their growth is stopped, the young fleas eventually die. Additionally,this substance also prevents existing adult fleas from reproducing and laying even more eggs, stopping the flea lifecycle once and for all to keep you and your pet itch-free.
Fipronil and s-methoprene make the perfect couple when it comes to putting an end to flea infestations together. The waterproof formula of Frontline Plus will not force you to leave your canine on the shores while you go for a swim! Don’t worry about them getting dirty on a hike either; you’re able to freely give your buddy a bath afterwards without washing off the topical treatment.
So what are you waiting for? Grab a pack of Frontline Plus and take your pet on an epic outdoor adventure!

Active IngredientsFipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide that is used to control a wide variety of insects. It works by seeping into an insect's cells and binding to their nerve endings, thus stopping the nervous system and paralyzing the insect. Fipronil also spreads across insects, making it an effective solution for treating infestations.
When Frontline Plus applied properly, the solution seeps into the hair follicles and oil glands on your dog which fleas and ticks like to make home. Fipronil is extremely effective and is slowly released over the course of a whole month for complete protection.
(S)-Methoprene is an insect growth regulator that acts as an important juvenile hormone for a large number of insects. It functions by preventing pupa and larva from developing into adults, and forces them to remain in their juvenile form. By doing so, these insects are unable to reproduce and spread, eliminating future recurrences of infestation.
It is technically considered to be a biochemical pesticide since it does not directly kill insects with toxicity, but rather prevents them from maturing and reproducing.2" "Caution/Warning?
