FRONTLINE Spot On for Ticks and Fleas Dog M 10-20kg

Protect your dog from annoying parasites! With FRONTLINE Spot On against ticks, fleas and biting lice.

FRONTLINE Spot On offers many advantages:
Reliable protection: Ticks are killed within 48 hours and adult fleas within 24 hours.

Works on contact: Parasites do not absorb the active ingredient by sucking blood, but already upon
contact with the animal. Ticks are killed within 48 hours and adult fleas within 24 hours.

Well tolerated: FRONTLINE Spot On is suitable for puppies weighing 2kg or more and also for pregnant and lactating bitches!

Easy to use: The active ingredient is simply applied to the skin in the neck area with a pipette.

How does FRONTLINE work?
After application, the active ingredient of FRONTLINE Spot On spreads over the entire body surface and is stored there in the sebaceous glands for 4 weeks. The active ingredient therefore does not penetrate the body. When ticks, fleas or biting lice come into contact with the skin or fur, they are reliably killed within 1-2 days. Contact with the animal is therefore sufficient and the parasites do not need to bite to be killed.

How quickly does FRONTLINE Spot On work?**

• Fleas: 98-100% are killed within 24 hours
• Ticks: over 90% of ticks die within 48 hours

How is FRONTLINE Spot On used?
The application of FRONTLINE Spot On is very simple - the active ingredient solution is applied directly to the skin using a pipette:

• Remove one pipette from the packaging.
• Hold the pipette tip upright, tap the tip briefly with your finger (so that the entire solution is in the lower part of the pipette) and break it off at the perforated point.
• Part the animal's fur between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible.
• Place the tip of the pipette directly on the skin and apply the active ingredient solution completely to the skin. Empty the pipette completely by repeatedly squeezing it.

The active ingredient then spreads over the entire body surface of the animal within 1-2 days.

Please note:

• The natural skin condition of the animal is the optimal basis for the distribution and storage of the active ingredient solution. Intensive bathing before or after treatment (within 48 hours) can, however, impair the distribution. FRONTLINE products are waterproof after the distribution period.
• For dogs, also pay attention to the pipette size according to weight. Too low a dosage can impair the success of the treatment. FRONTLINE® products are available for cats and dogs in species-appropriate and optimally matched pipette sizes.
• For the success of the treatment, it is also important that all dogs and cats living in the household are treated simultaneously and regularly. Untreated animals - both cats and dogs - can repeatedly re-infect the others, especially in the case of flea infestation.
• In the case of a flea infestation, it is also very important to free the environment from fleas. Otherwise, your animal can be re-infested again and again. For this purpose, you should vacuum daily and very thoroughly (also in corners and edges), wash blankets, textiles, stuffed animals etc. at min. 60 degrees and use preparations for environmental treatment.
• Important: Never use FRONTLINE products on rabbits and other small animals!

How often should FRONTLINE Spot On be used?
Only if a continuously sufficient amount of active ingredient is present can an effect without a protective gap be achieved. FRONTLINE products should be used monthly. Flea infestation is not only a problem in summer and autumn, but also in winter. In heated homes, fleas feel comfortable even in the cold season. Therefore, we recommend year-round preventive treatment, especially for indoor animals.

Which active ingredient is contained in FRONTLINE Spot On and how does it work?
The active ingredient contained in FRONTLINE Spot On is called fipronil. Fipronil is an active ingredient that disrupts the nerve conduction of insects (e.g. fleas) and arachnids (e.g. ticks), causing the parasites to die. The active ingredient works on invertebrates (arachnids and insects) and not on mammals such as dogs or humans. Within 1-2 days after application, the active ingredient spreads over the superficial, fat-rich skin layer of the entire body. Fipronil is fat-soluble and is stored in the sebaceous glands. From there, the active ingredient is continuously released onto the skin and into the fur with the sebum.
