Please accept my apology. There is no way I would ever ridicule anyone. I had no idea there was so much concern with Frontline. Good Luck squirting it on.

What if it makes them sick? Help please!

You put it on between their shoulder blades. It's not very difficult and the pups will generally hold still for you. I think that you're making it out more than it's suppose to be. It does not hurt them at all. Don't be a nervous wreck when applying it. If the pup digests the product call your vet. They should be able to answer your questions, but I wouldn't worry about it.

Just part their little coat on the back of their neck and touch the skin before you put the first drop on. I wear a rubber glove so I can rub it in a little bit. I use 1/2 tube on each one under 3-5 lbs monthly. I am careful to NOT give another med for about 24 hours or so.. If they get sick, I want to be sure whch one is the culprit..TICKS are a big concern in my area so I am conscientious about the stuff. Don't want them to bring in a tick to me and I worry about tick-borne illnesses for them..
