FRONTLINE Spot On Flea & Tick Treatment for Cats - 3 Pipettes

Product Information

If you’re concerned about chemicals, particularly for dogs with sensitive skin or health issues, then a natural flea treatment such as Progroom shampoo could be a good option. A formula of colloidal oatmeal combined with essential oils, minerals, aloe vera and fatty acids moisturises skin, soothes itchy or hot patches, detangles matted fur, and leaves your dog’s coat shiny and healthy.

Key features – Type: Chewable tablet; Amount: One dose; Volume: 500mg; Active ingredient: Fluralaner; Suitable for: Puppies older than 6 months; dogs weighing more than 4.5kg Cats and Ferrets:In the absence of available data, the product should not be used on kittens less than 8 weeks old and/or weighing less than 1 kg. The product should not be used on ferrets less than 6 months old. FRONTLINE Plus also contains the important addition of (S)-methoprene which acts as an insect growth inhibitor. (S)-methoprene works to prevent the multiplication of fleas by inhibiting the development of the immature stages of growth (eggs, larvae and pupae) for up to 6 weeks of application. Bathing/immersion in water within 2 days after application of the product and more frequent bathing than once a week should be avoided, as no study has been performed to investigate how this affects the efficacy of the product. Emollient shampoos can be used prior to treatment, but reduce the duration of protection against fleas to approximately 5 weeks when used weekly after application of the product. Weekly bathing with a 2% chlorhexidine medicated shampoo did not affect efficacy against fleas during a 6 week long study. Like spot-on flea treatments, the strength of Bravecto depends on the size and weight of your dog: a 250mg chew for small dogs (4.5-10kg), a 500mg chew for medium dogs (10-20kg) and a 1,000mg chew for large dogs (20-40kg). The chew tastes like pork (apparently!) and will still administer the same results if it’s crumbled up into your dog’s food.Shampoo – Shampoo can do a good job of killing some fleas on a dog’s fur and it can sympathetically soothe any itching and pain caused by flea bites. However, shampoo is not usually the most effective solution when used on its own and it needs to be combined with another topical solution to get the best results.

It’s also important to consider which method will suit your cat’s temperament best. “Choose whatever will be the least stress for you both,” Reay says. “If your pet easily takes tablets in food, then choose those, otherwise go for a spot on and use food or treats as a distraction while it’s applied. The calmer you are, the more you’ll help to reassure your pet.” Do not use in rabbits as adverse drug reactions, even mortality, could occur. In absence of studies, the use of the product is not recommended in non-target species. If your cat is unwell, please see your vet for advice before you apply a flea treatment. frontline Spot On for catsis not suitable for use on rabbits.FRONTLINE Spot On is a veterinary medicine with a robustsafety profile.
