Frontline Plus Last Thursday I added the last of three Frontline Plus packs to my lil guy Max. On Saturday, I found a tick on him that was dying. Found another dead one in his bed on Sunday (OK technically it is my bed-haha). Yesterday, I found one tick and - heaven help me - two fleas on him. The tick was moving slow and none of the ticks have bit him. The fleas were moving slower but still in the 'hard to catch' category. When I add the frontline to him it is very messy. It doesn't seep into his skip neatly like the video shows on the Frontline site. A lot of it seems to get into the surrounding hair and dry there. I wonder if I am getting enough of it on him or if it is just not working? Anyone else have the same issues? |
You need to part his hair and apply the frontline directly to his skin. Now on the ticks...they must bite the dog before the frontline kills them. |
I live in south east texas and the fleas in my area have built up a resistance to all Frontline products. My vet recommended Comfortis. |
OOps - That reply I sent wasn't really appropriate. I agree with bchgirl on the application of frontline. If it's not applied correctly you won't get the full benefit of the product. |
I have always found the same problem when applying Frontline to dogs--it seems like alot of the liquid soaks into the hair instead of going on the skin like it should. The last time, I parted the hair slighting off center and cut very closely to the skin a tiny section of hair (about the size of a bean and very slowly applied it one drop at a time and it seemed to work better. When I parted the hair back down the middle, you couldn't tell at all where I'd cut the hair. |
