Flea Treatment for Dogs - 45 to 88lbs

Very excellent and high quality

My dog got extremely ill for 3 days afterwards . Seller doesn’t allow returns!

It was very helpful I managed to get control of the continue scratching on her back

Tried and true product. As a general rule, I do not like having to put chemicals on my dogs. But we live in an area where the ticks are atrocious and some years are worse than others. So I struggle with putting chemicals on the dogs versus having them contract Lyme disease so I do use this product when I feel that I have to. I have never had a dog have a reaction to Frontline, and we have had dogs for 25 years. It works immediately. I wish they would come out with a product like this for people. I had a tick crawling down my neck the other day and it really freaked me out. Good price and fast shipping.

Allow me to caveat this review by saying out of 700 plus reviews this is the most difficult to write as I despise having to use pesticides on our dogs. That said, we live in Tick and Flea central, surrounded by deep woods and our bulldogs are in every sense of the word family and we do whatever we must to protect them. That said if you're reading these reviews your dog or dogs are your heart too and using these products is a difficult choice to make, but it's one we have to make. On that note, it's my hope the following information has some value for you. Frontline was first put into clinical trials in 1985 shortly after the discovery of it's active ingredient Fipronil. To it's credit Frontline has maintained the safest albeit not the most effective treatment for fleas and ticks. However, the more effective products pose a significantly greater risk to your dog. It's a slippery slope, but in evaluating what's best for your dog by providing the highest level protection with the lowest risk Frontline and FrontLine Plus are in my opinion your best bet. Most tick and flea products contain Permethrin which may also be listed as Lyclear or Nix as the active ingredient. Permethrin is a lethal neurotoxin that flows through the dogs circulatory system and flushes into every major organ - including the brain where it can do dire damage. Thousands of dogs die every year from Permethrin. Although the FDA has mandated a minimal use not to exceed 750PPM companies continue to ignore the guidline because it's cheap and effective, and sadly it's our dogs that pay the price. What makes Permethrin so dangerous is that it can't distinguish between insects and mammals which of course includes human beings. It's been known to be lethal to cats since the 1970's. In fact it's so deadly to cats that even a slight transfer from dog to cat can result in seizures, brain damage and death. Permethrin is volatile as well - meaning it's airborne properties pose a threat to all who breath it in - humans included. Frontline on the other hand uses Fipronil. Fipronil is an insecticide. Like any chemical of this nature it can be lethal at too high of a dose. However studies including those from the Department of Environmental Conservation have determined time and time again that as long as the amount of Fipronil is at the correct dose for the weight and size of your dog toxicity is far easier to avoid and the product much safer for your dog. Unlike Premethrin, Fipronil is absorbed into the hair follicles and oil glands only. It is not absorbed into the dogs system nor is it volatile so you and your beloved pets and children can breath easy. The second active ingredient in FrontLine Plus is Methoprene which is a long existing and time proven IGR (insect growth regulator) it's distributed exactly like Fipronil but only acts on flea and tick eggs and Larvae - this is important because it kills these vermin at the start of a new life cycle. What is more, the diseases that ticks carry now are infinitely more serious than the dreaded Lime disease - which for decades was the only concern. Competitors to Frontline (and some Vets selling other products) claim that fleas and ticks have become resistant to Frontline - However these pests have become resistant to some degree to all pesticides and no independent research exists to confirm this claim. I can assure you I've researched this in the greatest depth. The bottom line is this - all of these products pose a risk. The wise choice is to minimize that risk in your effort to protect your best friend from the diseases these vermin carry. Again, these diseases can be infinitely more lethal than the ingredients of the protection. To that end your safest and most effective choice is Frontline or Frontline Plus. In the event your pet has a bad reaction to Frontline products these are the symptoms you would see: * Restlessness * Itching * Vomiting * Difficulty Breathing * Lethargy Should these symptoms occur, of course take your pet to your Veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately. It should be a comfort to know that unlike the toxic ingredients in most other flea and tick control products severe reactions to both Fipronil and Methoprene are rare.

I love Frontline. I have used it for years from my large dog.. just pop it open find their exposed skin on their neck and squeeze it on simple to use and my dog does not mind it.

I live in a buggy area in the south and found this effective. In 2 years I haven't found a tick ir flea on my dog.
