| How much Frontline? How much of a tube of Frontline would you put on your pup? My vet said to put the whole thing on Kona (2.8 pounds). I feel that it is too much for her. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I am confused because our vet has Ruby on Revolution, and said it is the only one safe to use for dogs and puppies under 5lbs. Through YT I've been told we can use Interceptor also. So, does anyone know the facts, because this Revolution is not working to well, Ruby still has a flea sometimes. I want something to work, but don't want to give her the wrong thing. We have used Frontline on our other pets and I prefer to use it, so I too would be interested in how much to give a small dog, under 3lbs?

| Frontline is completely safe to use on puppies 8 weeks of age and up. Use the WHOLE thing, even though it seems like a lot. My little girl is 9 weeks and I just noticed today that she has picked up fleas from somewhere, probably outside. So, I just took her to the vet on my lunch break bc I didn't think she was old enough or big enough (only 1.8 lbs) to use Frontline on her. But, the vet said it was perfectly fine to use the "Frontline for dogs 22 lbs and under" on my little girl. She said to use the whole thing. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i would use interceptor and frontline. the frontline you can split into four doses, depending on if a quarter of the tube is enough for your dog to ward off fleas (trial and error but only apply once ever 4 weeks)

| I have always used the whole tube. I put most of it between her shoulder blades but save a little and put it just above her tail. I do it right before we go to bed so no one will be petting her and it has time to dry.

| I always us the whole thing on Lilly too. She is 3lbs. and it really works for her. I also spray her with some anti-flea spray especially around her feet and legs when we go to the park. Good luck!! ~lizette |

| My vet had me use half of frontline on Jax when he was 2 pounds. After a few months they told us to use the whole thing (he weighs 4.3 pounds)

| My Vet gave me Frontline for dogs up to 22 pounds. The Vet said I could use the whole thing, but my breeder said just a few drops. Frankie is 2 pounds, so I didnt want to dunk all of that potent liuid on her. But I do notice she is itching a bit after we have been to the park, so I will give her a bit more next time. |
