Instructions for use and environment
Intensive bathing should be avoided within 48 hours before or after treatment, as this can impair the distribution of the active ingredient. After the distribution period, FRONTLINE® products are water-resistant.
For dogs, the pipette size appropriate for their body weight must be used.
In the event of a flea infestation, all appropriate dogs and cats in the household should be treated accordingly. In addition, the environment should be cleaned thoroughly. Regular vacuuming as well as washing appropriate textiles, pet beds, and toys at at least 60 °C can support flea control.
