FRONTLINE Spot On for Dogs (2–10 kg)

Protect your small dog from fleas and ticks with FRONTLINE Spot On for Dogs, a vet-recommended topical treatment designed for dogs weighing between 2 and 10 kg. This pack includes a spot-on applicator, providing a convenient and effective solution to kill fleas and ticks while offering long-lasting protection. Manufactured by Merial (now part of Boehringer Ingelheim), FRONTLINE Spot On is a trusted choice for pet owners seeking reliable parasite control for their small dogs.

How FRONTLINE Spot On Works

FRONTLINE Spot On contains Fipronil, a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide that targets the nervous system of fleas and ticks. When applied to your dog’s skin, Fipronil spreads across the body through the natural oils in the skin and hair follicles, creating a protective barrier. It works by:

• Killing Fleas: Kills adult fleas (Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis) within 24 hours of application, preventing them from laying eggs and breaking the flea life cycle.

• Killing Ticks: Kills ticks (including Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus) within 48 hours, reducing the risk of tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease.

• Long-Lasting Protection: Provides up to 8 weeks of protection against fleas and up to 4 weeks against ticks, depending on environmental conditions and parasite pressure.

Additionally, FRONTLINE Spot On can help control flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) by eliminating fleas, which are a common cause of this condition.

Key Benefits

• Fast-Acting Flea and Tick Control: Kills fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours, providing quick relief from infestations.

• Long-Lasting Protection: Offers up to 8 weeks of flea protection and up to 4 weeks of tick protection, reducing the frequency of treatments.

• Prevents Flea Infestations: Kills fleas before they can lay eggs, helping to prevent re-infestation and keeping your home flea-free.

• Reduces Risk of Tick-Borne Diseases: Effective against multiple tick species, lowering the risk of diseases transmitted by ticks.

• Easy to Apply: The spot-on applicator makes it simple to apply the treatment directly to your dog’s skin, ensuring accurate dosing.

• Safe for Small Dogs: Suitable for dogs weighing 2–10 kg and at least 8 weeks of age, with a well-established safety profile when used as directed.

• Waterproof Formula: Remains effective even after bathing, swimming, or exposure to rain, provided you wait 48 hours after application for the product to fully spread.

Dosage and Administration

FRONTLINE Spot On is designed for dogs weighing between 2 and 10 kg. The pack contains a single-dose applicator, with the following application guidelines:

• 1 pipette per dog per month for dogs in this weight range.

Application Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pipette: Remove the pipette from the packaging and hold it upright. Snap off the tip by bending it at the scored line.

2. Part the Fur: Choose a spot on your dog’s back, between the shoulder blades, where they cannot lick the product. Part the fur to expose the skin.

3. Apply the Product: Place the tip of the pipette directly on the skin and squeeze gently to empty the entire contents in one spot. Avoid applying to the fur, as it needs to contact the skin to be effective.

4. Post-Application Care: Avoid touching the treated area until it is dry (about 24–48 hours). Keep your dog away from open flames or heat sources immediately after application, as the product is flammable until dry.

5. Frequency: Reapply every 4 weeks for continuous protection, especially in areas with high flea or tick populations. In low-risk areas, you may extend to every 8 weeks for fleas, but monitor for signs of re-infestation.

Note: Do not bathe your dog or allow them to swim for 48 hours after application to ensure the product spreads properly. If your dog is already infested, you may need to treat their environment (e.g., bedding, carpets) to fully eliminate fleas.

Indications

FRONTLINE Spot On is indicated for:

• Treatment and prevention of flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis).

• Treatment and control of tick infestations (Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus).

• Treatment of biting lice (Trichodectes canis) in dogs.

• Can be used as part of a treatment strategy for flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) by controlling flea populations.

Safety and Precautions

• For Animal Use Only: FRONTLINE Spot On is intended for dogs only and should not be used on cats, rabbits, or other animals, as Fipronil can be toxic to some species (e.g., rabbits).

• Adverse Reactions: In rare cases, dogs may experience temporary skin irritation at the application site (e.g., redness, itching). If irritation persists or if your dog shows signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., excessive salivation, lethargy), wash the product off with mild soap and water and contact your veterinarian.

• Avoid Contact with Eyes and Mouth: Do not allow your dog to lick the application site. If the product is ingested, contact your veterinarian immediately.

• Environmental Safety: Avoid letting your dog swim in natural water bodies (e.g., lakes, rivers) for 48 hours after application, as Fipronil can be toxic to aquatic life.
