? Did you know that one flea can multiply by laying eggs to become 1000 in as little as 21 days!

Only 5% of a flea problem is on your pet, 95% is in the home as eggs, larvae and pupae.

Frontline applied every 2 months to your dog and 6 weekly to your cat will provide protection against fleas.

If you wish to protect against ticks, use Frontline Combo monthly.

 Frontline Combo is a solution in a pipette that you apply to the back of your pet’s neck.  It will eliminate fleas, protect against re-infestation and inhibit the development of flea eggs.  It will also eliminate ticks and lice. 

Fleas can cause your pet problems such as itching, tapeworms, anaemia and flea allergy dermatitis, they can also bite humans in your household.

Ticks can attach to your pet and to people, they can cause a local skin reaction or abscess and can transmit serious diseases such as Lyme’s disease.

Cats: Apply Frontline Combo every 6weeks for flea control, it will also protect against infestation of ticks for 2 weeks.

Dogs: Apply Frontline Combo every 8 weeks for flea control, it will also protect against infestation of ticks for 4 weeks.

If you find a tick on your cat or dog and are not sure how to remove it please make an appointment to see a vet at the surgery as incomplete removal of ticks can cause severe skin reactions.

Frontline Combo is a prescription only medicine and is therefore only available from a veterinary surgery or from a pharmacy with a prescription from your vet.
