Frontline Plus - Harmful to pups? I just applied Darwin's monthly application of Frontline Plus, however, he scratched it all over his back and back paws! I keep wiping his back paws each time after he scratches b/c he has a tendency to lick his paws. I'm nervous he'll end up swallowing the frontline...will this make him sick? Also, since more of the application ended up on his fur than his skin, will the medication be effective this month? |
I have had the same thing happen to me before. I live in an area were the ticks are thick. I know you are not supposed to rub it in but I did but not forcively just lightly. I have not had any problems with fleas or ticks that didn' fall off. |
I'm not sure if frontline makes dogs sick but I do know that I had to switch to a pill version for my baby. Instead of seeping into her skin it would stay on her fur and she would get very sick from licking it off. |
Yes, it will make him very, very sick if he ingests it...Those are poisonous chemicals. |
Anything can potential make them sick. Fipronil (active ingredient in Frontline) is a toxic chemical. If your dog is scratching from it, I'd switch brands. Some people have no choice but to use flea preventatives on their pets, but if you have a choice, there are safer ways of trying to kill/prevent fleas.:) |
