| Starting on Frontline Plus After researching topical flea treatments, I decided to go with Frontline Plus. We have a 4lb 15month old Yorkie that has never been on any preventative. This year, we seem to be seeing a half dozen fleas a week on her, so I want to start her on something to keep her from scratching so bad. We have outside dogs and I think the ones that are appearing on her get brought in on our clothes. At least that is all I can figure anyway. She never goes outside in the yard and the outside dogs never come inside. The product I bought is for "up to 22Lbs". At 1/5 the weight of the dosage available, how much should I give her that would be safe. Normally, being an ER nurse, I would dose it per weight with 22lbs being 100% of the product and going from there. I do not want to make her sick. I have not had an inside dog since I was a kid 30+ yrs ago. Thanks |

| I don't use Frontline but the product I use says up to 10 lb. My girls are 4 and 6 lb so I only give them 1/2 a dose. But I just don't know with Frontline. In my area, Frontline has become ineffective so my vet isn't even selling it anymore. Maybe ask your vet about the possible dosage? Up to 22 lb, in my opinion, is a broad range. Hopefully someone here who uses Frontline can give you more information.
