2. Tap the tip briefly so that the liquid collects in the bottom section.

3. Snap off the tip of the pipette at the marked line.

4. Part the hair between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible.

5. Place the pipette tip directly onto the skin and empty the entire contents by squeezing it several times.

The effect against adult fleas in dogs lasts for up to 8 weeks, and the effect against ticks lasts for up to 4 weeks.

Information on application 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.

In case of a flea infestation, all appropriate dogs and cats in the household should be treated accordingly. Additionally, the environment should be cleaned thoroughly. Regular vacuuming and washing of suitable textiles, pet beds, and toys at at least 60 °C can support flea control.
