Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Frontline products are highly recommended by veterinarians for long-lasting, fast-acting flea, tick, and chewing lice control. Within 12 hours of application, Frontline Plus should not only kill all of the fleas, but also break the life cycle to prevent future infestations. Its special ingredient also kills flea eggs and larvae, which, in effect, prevents the development of new fleas. It destroys all life stages of 4 major tick species, including ticks that may carry Lyme disease, which provides your cat and your family with additional protection. Frontline Plus is waterproof, so your cat will still be protected if it bathes or goes for a swim. Merial backs up Frontline Plus with a limited Satisfaction Guarantee. For cats 8 weeks and older. Using Frontline Plus is a simple 3-step process. First, remove the applicator from the child-resistant package, use scissors or just lift the plastic tab to expose the foil, and then peel down. Secondly, open the applicator, hold it upright, and snap the tip away from your face and body. Finally, apply Frontline Plus by placing the applicator tip through your cat’s hair to the skin between the shoulder blades. Squeeze the applicator to apply the entire dose to a single spot on the cat’s skin.

5.0 out of 5 stars finally something that does what it says, May 18, 2005

This review is from: Merial Frontline Plus Flea and Tick Control for Cats and Kittens, 6 Doses (Misc.)

been down the road with flea and tick collars. Most seem to work when they are new. After the first month it's down hill all the way. Also, after having problems with another brand and was looking for something that was vet recommended. This comes with that recommendation. However the proof is in the pudding as they say -- or in this case the pussy cat.

This stuff does what is say. It stops fleas.So do your pets the favor. They will thank you. It's given once a month on their shoulder blades. Nothing I have ever used works this good.

Enough said.

Caution: Some cats get determined to twist themselves in a pretzel to lick this. I can caused them to foam at the mouth and make them hyper for about 24 hours after. Solution is easy. Take an old sock and trim the toes for an opening for kitty's head and the cut two arm holes. Makes a kitty' vest and will keep them from licking their shoudlers. Keep them in it for about 24-36 hours. No problems.

This review is from: Merial Frontline Plus Flea and Tick Control for Cats and Kittens, 6 Doses (Misc.)

INCREDIBLE !!!!!!

I've used powders, I've used flea dips and flea shampoos and sprays flea combs.I then even resorted to garlic in their diets and on their fur..........nothing worked.

Then I tried Frontline, with my discouragement. Fleas are tough !

Frontline got rid of my ENTIRE FLEA PROBLEM.

1.0 out of 5 stars My cat had an allergic reaction to this product..., April 10, 2006

This review is from: Merial Frontline Plus Flea and Tick Control for Cats and Kittens, 6 Doses (Misc.)

My 8 year old cat suffered what my vet called 'a rare allergic reaction' to this product. The vet also said 'too bad, too, as it is the best product of its kind on the market'.

Within 24 hours of its application, my cat had bald burned spot about the size of two quarters. The skin looks like a chemical burn - irritated, pink and bit gooey. The vet said to apply OTC topical hydrocortisone cream and that it is possible the fur will not grow back in the affected area. In any case, the cat is on the mend.

I called the toll free number on the Frontline box and spoke with a vet tech. He documented the cat's reaction and medical condition. He also said to send the remaining product back to Frontline for a full refund, which was a nice surprise.

I am not saying not to use this product, just keep an eye on your pet if you do.
