Features of the drug

The production of the drug Frontline for dogs and puppies is engaged in the well-known French company Merial. Frontline drops are an insecticoacaricidal agent designed to combat various types of parasites: ticks, lice, lashing. It is based on fipronil - an insecticide, the effect of which leads to paralysis, and subsequently to the death of insects. It does not penetrate the blood of the animal, accumulating in the sebaceous glands and cells of the epidermis.

Frontline combo drops for dogs of a similar property that, in addition to fipronil, contain S-methoprene (an active substance that is dangerous to fleas, as it destroys their chitinous integument). Also included in antiparasitic drops are auxiliary components in the form of polysorbate, polyvidone and other components.

Already after one day after use, the drug is distributed over the surface of the pet's skin, killing the parasites living on it. This tool is also used for prophylactic purposes: it protects dogs against ticks for a month, against fleas for 3 months.

Most often, Frontline and its variation Frontline combo are available in polyethylene pipettes with different dosages. The required amount of funds is selected in accordance with the weight of the dog. For pets from 2 to 10 kg it will need 0.67 ml. A double dose (1.34 ml) is necessary for the treatment of animals weighing 10-20 kg. For dogs weighing 20–40 kg, 2.68 ml of product will be required.And for animals whose weight exceeds these values, the required dose will be 4.02 ml. The combination of two pipettes will be needed if the dog weighs over 60 kg.

Reviews

We purchased Frontline drops on the advice of our veterinarian. The dog is allergic, and besides, he had liver problems with some antiparasitic drugs. Therefore, the choice of the drug was given special attention. The result of the drug is very impressed - one hundred percent effect and no negative effects. In addition, the fact that the medicine retains its properties, even when taking water treatments, is also encouraging. After all, we often go to nature, and our pet loves water very much. Front Line - super! Recommend.

This summer we had a real attack, not only ticks, but also fleas and flies. Perfectly coped with them drops Frontline combo (Frontline Combo). In my opinion, they are even more effective than the usual universal variation of Frontline. The dog's ears are clean, neither parasites nor allergies. The only downside for me is the cost of the drug. But if you look at it differently, it is also wrong to throw out even less money without a result. Therefore, leaning towards Frontline.

Tried a lot funds in the form of drops. Started with inexpensive < shampoo, sprays, but the effect was short-lived - after a few days the fleas were again found in the pet. Tired of such experiments, she decided to buy the front line means for dogs. It is expensive though, but the result is simply colossal - not a single flea was found, and the dog stopped scratching. I recommend not torturing yourself and your pet with various samples for those who are faced with the problem of searching for an off-drug. Buy Frontline drops, you will not regret!
