FRONTLINE PLUS® Spot-On Flea and Tick Treatment for Cats
FRONTLINE PLUS® Spot-On Flea and Tick Treatment for Cats is a powerful topical solution designed to eliminate fleas and ticks upon contact. This means that fleas and ticks do not need to bite your cat to be killed. Suitable for cats from 8 weeks old and weighing at least 1kg, as well as ferrets from 6 months old. It is also safe for use on pregnant cats.
This treatment is highly resilient, maintaining its effectiveness even with weekly bathing or water exposure. However, avoid bathing your cat for two days after application for optimal results.
Key Features
- Kills fleas and ticks
- Prevents flea eggs from hatching
- Fast-acting formula
- Boehringer's FRONTLINE Spot On is the UK's leading flea and tick protection
- Contains fipronil and (S)-methoprene for a double-action approach
The active ingredient fipronil eradicates fleas and ticks directly on your pet, while the additional IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) technology with (S)-methoprene halts flea eggs from hatching, thereby breaking the flea life cycle and offering comprehensive household protection.
FRONTLINE Plus ensures fleas are killed within 24 hours by targeting their central nervous system, causing them to become more visible before dying. The non-systemic nature of this treatment means that fleas and ticks are killed upon contact, without needing to bite your pet.
Ticks may still attach to your pet, but they are killed within 48 hours, significantly reducing the risk of disease transmission. This easy-to-apply spot-on solution provides ongoing protection when used every 4 weeks.
Application Instructions
Apply the product directly to your cat's skin at the base of the neck, in front of the shoulder blades. This ensures effective killing of adult fleas and ticks on the pet. For continuous protection, use FRONTLINE Plus every 4 weeks.
Important Considerations
If your cat or ferret is unwell, consult your vet before applying any flea treatment. FRONTLINE PLUS® is not suitable for use on rabbits.
For optimal results, avoid bathing your cat for two days after application. Efficacy against ticks lasts up to 2 weeks in cats, with a minimum treatment interval of 4 weeks.
