How does Frontline Plus For Dogs work?

Frontline Plus For Dogs is a medication with two powerful active ingredients (secret weapons) - Fipronil and (S)-methoprene - that kill adult ticks and fleas at every step of the flea 's life cycle. Frontline Plus kills the parasites on contact by storing itself in the oil glands in your pet 's skin and hair follicles continuously for the next 30 days.

Active ingredient Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide that disrupts the insect 's central nervous system by blocking the GABA-gated chloride channel that regulates cellular excitability and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels that controls movement, feeding, and behavior. This causes hyper excitement to the contaminated insect 's nerves and muscles.

Active ingredient (S)-methoprene is an insecticide chemical that controls hatching flea eggs and obstructs the development of the immature flea (i.e., flea pupae and larvae) into a breeding adult.

How is Frontline Plus administered?

Frontline Plus For Dogs is a monthly, spot-on treatment that is applied between a dog 's shoulders and protects your dog for the next 30 days. Frontline Plus products start killing fleas after four hours and effectively kill 100% fleas after 12 hours.

Frontline For Dogs comes in four different color boxes depending on the dog 's weight with differing milliliter (mL) application amounts. Each box has the same percentage of the active ingredients and comes in 3- and 6-month supplies. See the dosage chart below:
