Frontline Spray - 250ml

Product Information

While fipronil is considered a safe product for use in cats, application of the spray does introduce a lot more variation in dose for a cat, making it easy for too much (or not enough) spray to be applied. A pet parent must estimate the number of sprays to use based on weight and other factors. This is different from the single measured dose of a spot-on product. When considering use of either the Frontline Spray or the Frontline spot-on products, it’s important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each. This does mean that eggs and larvae may still develop into adult fleas, so it may be possible to see new adults emerge after a couple of weeks of initially killing the original adult flea infestation. The manufacturer recommends applying the spray from a distance of 10 to 20 centimeters (about 4 to 8 inches). The spray should be applied against the lay of the coat so that the spray can be worked down toward the skin more effectively.

Head Area: For treating the head or for young or nervous pets, spray onto a gloved hand and gently rub it into the coat. When you receive the medication, it’s important to read and understand the dosage instructions. The strength and dose of the medication may depend on the size of your cat or dog. Frontline Spray contains only fipronil, which means that it doesn’t provide as much prevention coverage as the newer spot-on product innovations Frontline Plus and Frontline GOLD.You and your cat will both be happier once those pesky fleas are banished from sharing your home.

Frontline Spray for cats is considered waterproof, but the manufacturer does recommend waiting 48 hours before bathing, and to use a soap-free shampoo. Ruffle the Coat: Particularly for long-haired pets, ruffle the coat to allow the product to penetrate to the skin level. Application is also generally messier, requiring gloves and possibly keeping a kitty that has had the spray recently applied in a confined area like a bathroom for at least 24 hours until the spray fully dries to prevent it from ending up on upholstery and furniture. When treating your pet’s head or when treating small animals, spray the solution onto gloved hands and then rub the product in, rather than spraying directly. Once the product has been applied, make sure to allow it to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area and don’t touch or handle your pet until it’s all dry.This also presents a challenge for multiple cat households where lots of co-grooming occurs. Compared to the spot-on, it would be even more important to separate housemate kitties for up to 24 hours after application to allow the product to fully dry. The second disadvantage is in the application process. Keeping a kitty still for a single spot-on application is feasible in most cases, though some kitty parents even have trouble with this. Generally, applying a spray liberally to a cat’s body and needing to work it into the fur coat is intensive and many grown cats may not sit still well for it. IF SWALLOWED: Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Lastly, topical products like Frontline have been known to cause skin and eye irritation in people. It is best to wear disposable gloves when applying the spray and to wash your hands after.

Following application of any Frontline product, it’s important to note that because fipronil causes neurologic overexcitement in the flea prior to killing it, more fleas may become visible and active following application of the product.IF INHALED: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice. The main difference between Frontline Spot-On and Frontline Plus is that Frontline Plus contains an additional active ingredient, (S)-methoprene, which prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing. This means that Frontline Combo can provide more comprehensive protection against fleas, as it can help to break the flea lifecycle. CONTAINER DISPOSAL. If empty: Nonrefillable container.
