When it comes to pet flea treatments, Frontline for dogs is the number one choice for vets in North America.

Frontline pet kills up to 100 percent of the fleas on your cat or dog within 24 hours and up to 100% of ticks within 48 hours.

It works effectively for one month, twice as long as its next competitor which is why it occupies the #1 spot.

Since its waterproof, many owners with active dogs choose Frontline top spot.

Dog flea remedies use chemical formulations to kill the parasites which is harsh.

Frontline top spot is so gentle it can be used on kittens and puppies of 8 weeks old even on nursing mothers.

It works the best for your pet, and it works with one application onto the coat, just a dot of the liquid on the back of the neck.

Through a system called translocation, the flea med is dispersed over the entire coat.

It is normally advisable to try to keep your cat or dog dry for at least 24 hours to allow this process to happen.

Once the medication is translocated on your cat or dog, it remains on the coat for 4 weeks, during which time it should be unnecessary to re-apply.

Frontline Plus for cats comes in three types:

A spray used for quick elimination of severe flea and tick infestations.

Then there’s Top Spot which has all the effects of the spray for routine control.

Best of all is Frontline tick with an extra ingredient which actually breaks the flea’s breeding cycle.

Frontline flea is the most recent product in the Frontline tick family.

Because pet fleas breed after being present on the host for 24-36 hours, and it kills fleas within 18 hours, further infestation is prevented.

You may see more fleas on your pet during the 18 hours as the product causes hyper-agitation in the parasites and brings them to the surface of the coat before their demise.
