Frontline Spot On Cat (6 Pipettes) is used for the prevention of infestations by fleas and ticks in cats and is part of a treatment strategy for Flea Allergy Dermatitis in cats - where this has been previously diagnosed by a Veterinary Surgeon.
Frontline Spot On Cat controls infestations with biting lice and it is effective against fleas for up to 5 weeks and ticks for up to 1 month. It also controls lice within 48 hours. Routine treatment is advised to prevent flea infestations. More vets are choosing Frontline than any other flea treatment. They trust Frontline products to kill parasites fast and to go on protecting your pet.
Frontline Spot On Cat can be used in kittens from 8 weeks of age and weighing at least 1kg. It acts by direct contact with parasites and not via your pet’s bloodstream and it kills fleas within 24 hours without requiring them to bite your pet.
How does Frontline Spot On work?
Frontline Spot On acts by direct contact with parasites and not via your pet’s bloodstream. It kills fleas within 24 hours without requiring them to bite your pet.
Frontline Spot On is applied externally to your pet’s skin on the back of the neck.
The active ingredient, fipronil, quickly dissolves into the natural oils of your pet’s skin and coat, dispersing over the entire body surface within 24 hours and concentrating in the skin's oil glands to form a reservoir.
Fipronil is then secreted with the natural oils of the skin and hair, continuously coating your pet’s skin and hair for several weeks after application – in fact it’s the longest-lasting spot on flea treatment available without prescription.
Directions for use:
- Hold upright.
- Tap the narrow part of the pipette to ensure that the contents are within the main body of the pipette.
- Break back the snap-off top of the spot-on pipette along the scored line.
- Part the coat between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible.
- Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze gently to empty its contents onto the skin, preferably at two spots, one at the base of the skull and a second 2-3 cms further back.
- Care should be taken to avoid excessive wetting of the hair with the product since this will cause a sticky appearance of hairs at the treatment spot. However, should this occur, it will disappear within 24 hours post application. It is important to apply the dose to an area where the animal cannot lick off.
