Looking for Answers about FRONTLINE FRONTLINE Plus for Dogs?

Yes, as long as she is 8 weeks of age the Frontline Plus Orange is the safest and appropriate dose for her size. Don't forget the heartworm prevention as well! Frontline doesn't prevent heartworms so they'll need a separate prevention for that! :)

no try thje shootags they are green and work great!!

YES! The "orange" is for 0-22 lbs., so this is exactly what you need! Provided, of course, your baby is older than 8 wks. Frontline Plus is the safest I've been able to find, especially for the little ones. (I have 2 Yorkies, one is 4 lbs and the other is 5 lbs.)

No because of her weight

i have a mini daschund also. yes u wanna get the orange frontline. its for all dogs under 22 pounds.

absolutely. i use tri-heart plus. i give this to my dog year round, as instructed by my vet. i've also done a lot of research on this and i believe giving heartworm meds year round is essential.

YES!! There are several options for heartworm prevention. There is Heartgard, Iverhart, and Interceptor. All are similar in that they prevent heartworms and intestinal parasites. The difference between the products is the type of medication used, and the fact that Interceptor prevents roundworms and hookworms as well as whipworms, where as Heartgard & Iverhart do not prevent whipworms. But whipworms aren't always a problem with dogs, so doing a fecal exam each year would be good to check for them. If your dog tests positive for whipworms, I would use the Interceptor.

D E F I N I T E L Y !!!!

yes

also you should use program with capstar as capstar kills the adult fleas only

No she is not too young. There is a minimum age to use the product, but it's 8 weeks. Each Frontline product goes by weight as well. So she would more than likely need the Orange 0-22lbs. dose. It is perfectly safe and recommend getting them started as soon as they're old enough. Make sure you start her on a type of heartworm prevention as well! There are many different products to choose from. Heartgard & Interceptor are both good products. Heartgard is a chewable that looks like a treat, and also prevents roundworm and hookworm infection. Interceptor is a chewable flavored tablet that also covers roundworm and hookworm infection but also prevents whipworms. There are 2 other products to consider if you don't have a tick problem...Trifexis and Sentinel are both products that prevent heartworm disease, fleas, and intestinal parasites like roundworms and hookworms. The only thing with heartworm prevention is that it is only sold by veterinarians you can't get it at any petstores. Just some helpful information to consider from a licensed veterinary technician at your service! :)

get shootags .they are safe and green ..no chemicals i love them!!

Nope! In fact, you should go ahead and start her soon as we're closing in on flea/tick season here (I'm in Milwaukee). Frontline Plus is for dogs 8 wks and older. Just make sure you get the appropriate one for her weight....I'm assuming that since she's a Pappilion and a puppy at that, she'll probably need the Orange, which is for 0-22 lbs. Both my girls (4 lbs and 5 lbs) use the Orange. I've actually found fleas on them, BUT they were in baaaaddd shape and empty (meaning they hadn't bitten them).

Yes, she's too young. The dosage is based per pound and is very precise. Too much can make your dog sick although it would take a very big overdose to kill an animal. Just not worth taking the chance when so small. I work with a Humane Society and small puppies are not given this treatment until they are 5-6 months old. I suggest bathing the dog every three weeks in Dawn dish detergent and then spraying with a good flea treatment.

If used more than once a month it does have the potential to cause harm to your dog. BUT, if you ended up putting it on 3 weeks after you applied the first dose you shouldn't have any problems. Just try to keep it at every 4 weeks since that is the optimal and recommended administration.

according to my Vet, every 3 weeks is OK if you are controlling (rather than maintaining)the critters

When I have done this in the past (bathed the dog with flea shampoo after using flea drops), it had dried out my dog's skin. Watch out for dogs with sensitive skin.

I believe the answer is, Yes, as long as you wait the mandatory time after applying the Frontline, and the chemicals in the shampoo are NOT the same as in the frontline.

Part of the fur on the back of your dog's neck. The position should be where your dog cannot lick itself. Apply the solution onto the bare skin in that spot. I'd recommend holding the dog still so that it doesn't wriggle and you end up with the precious liquid everywhere!!

If your dog has very thick fur like mine take off the collar and part the fur just under the skull bone and part the fur gently. Put a few drops onto the skin, part the fur further down, half and inch or so and put more drops if you can fit more than a few then good. Part the fur down another half inch and more drops on the skin. Try to continue to part the fur and put more drops onto the skin until the tube is empty. Don't use the product on skin that your dog can lick off. The product is usually harmless to your dog when dry.

I like to use Advantix on my dog every month on the same day at night (especially during the warm months when ticks and fleas are more active). Make sure to wash your hands and keep the kids away until the product dries.

Frontline Plus Purple is intended for dogs weighing 45-88 lbs. Frontline Plus Red is intended for dogs weighing 89-132 lbs. So as long as your dog doesn't gain any weight he is technically able to use the Purple dose, although using the Red dose at that weight wouldn't hurt him since he is so close and if your dog is like most dogs in America his weight make fluctuate by a few pounds.

The ingredients are the same; however the Frontline for cats has a higher percentage of (s)-methopene (11.8%); whereas Frontline for Dogs contains only 8.8% (s)-methopene. The other active ingredient (fipronil) is 9.8% in both products.

Yes, you can use Frontline plus on your cats. The dosage is 0.5 ml. for a 10 pound cat. Just be very careful that you are giving your cat the proper dosage. If in doubt, don't do it and ask your vet.

As long as you apply it either 3 days before giving him a bath or at least 3 days after. Frontline works by being stored in your dog or cats sebaceous (oil) glands. So if you give them a bath before the product has a chance to "translocate" (or be stored over the entire body) you will wash most of it off.

No, Frontline Plus does not guard against heartworms.

Yes, Frontline Plus absolutely safe for dog and cats alike.
