Amazon.com Product Description
As the top choice of veterinarians, Merial Frontline Plus provides fast-acting, long-lasting flea and tick control for your dog. 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. It’s proven to kill all life stages of 4 major tick species, including those which may carry Lyme disease. When you apply Frontline Plus, the active ingredient, fibronil, is stored in the oil glands beneath the skin. It is then distributed continuously to the skin and hair of your pet through the hair follicles. Frontline Plus offers total protection for 30 days. It’s waterproof, so your dog remains protected during and after baths and rainstorms. For dogs 45 to 88 pounds.

Flea and Tick Free
By K. Hill
My dog is a Chow mix and very furry. Ticks are impossible to find under her two layered coat until it’s too late. At first, I tried cheaper brands. They work on ticks but do nothing for fleas. Then my vet recommended Frontline. I later tried K9 Advantix since they claim to also kill mosquitos, but I didn’t notice any difference with the little bloodsuckers. And the protection from K9 Advantix didn’t seem to last as long so I switched back to Frontline.
Frontline works great for us. My dog is an outdoor dog and our county reportedly has more deer than people. And with deer come deer ticks. I’ve seen deer in my back yard and my dog’s house is very near the woods for shade. And she likes to take the occasional jaunt through the woods. Still I rarely find a tick on her. And when I do, they’re usually dead (or soon will be).
I wish I’d known Amazon was selling Frontline for a better price sooner. I’ve been purchasing only 3 months worth for about $50 from another site for the last 2 years. Very frustrating since before you know it, you’re out. With 6 months worth I only have to remember 2 times a year instead of 4.

The Best There Is!
By G. Reid
Frontline Plus is the best way to keep fleas and ticks off your dog. It is applied once per month in about 3 minutes. It seems to have little or no side effects on the dog. It has been used for many years on dogs without problems. I checked all products and asked various vets and everyone agrees that Frontline Plus is the best way to keep ticks and fleas off your dog. The Plus even kills the flea eggs.

Once a great product, but is losing its effectiveness
By R. Moser
I have used Frontline every year since it first came onto the market to control ticks and fleas – I was always very happy with the product and it worked well.
Something, however, HAS CHANGED WITH THIS PRODUCT – last year it was less effective and I chalked it all up to a different house, a different neighborhood, and the addition of yet another rescued dog. This year, however, I realize that it is not me, not how I am using it, and not the new environment – it simply doesn’t work like it used to. My poor 16 year old cat could not get rid of his fleas and I had to switch to Advantix, which worked well for both my cat and my dogs.
I called Frontline’s customer service number, and they were rude and inevitably insisted that it was wrong doing or incorrect usage on my part, which is funny given that I have used this for many years on dozens of animals with -surprise – no problem until this year. I highly recommend going a different route, even if you are a faithful Frontline customer; something is different about the product only just recently that has caused it to be less effective and it will not get rid of your problem.
