Did you know that they make Frontline for pets in a lot of different varieties?
You can customize your pet's flea medication based on:
Pet's size (weight)...
Type of Pet (dog or cat)
And even application method (sprays and drops).
It's important to choose the right variety of Frontline for pets and not share amongst pets of different types or sizes. To do so, would jeopardize your pets health and/or potentially be less effective. Whenever using a chemical flea killer, even a well-known brand with the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, like Frontline Plus, it's important to read and FOLLOW the package instructions when you are applying the flea medication to your pet.
Personally, I have used and prefer the flea drops version of the Frontline pet meds, not the flea spray. I like that I can control where the medication goes so it's not spraying all over my house, into the air, or into my pet's face. However, if your dog has skin allergies or a severe flea infestation, it may be better to use Frontline flea spray. I would check with a veterinarian or, if you order online, you can talk with a pet pharmacist about what's right for your dog or cat.
As with any new medication or topical treatment, it's a good idea to test a small amount of the flea drops, first, to make sure your pet's fur is not discolored by it and that he does not have any other negative reactions, such as skin irritation. The package directions will tell you exactly what precautions you should take and what side effects to look out for.
Remember, flea control products are an important part of your pet's overall health care, so make sure you talk to your vet to find out what he recommends for you.
