About this deal

If using only the spray, eggs and larvae will still develop, making more fleas constantly appear. It’s true the new adults will die, because the spray, once applied, does last for 30 days, but it can be continually irritating for the cat to have them constantly hatching. This will also mean that eggs and larvae are more likely to end up in the home environment as well. In this article, you’ll learn specifically about the Frontline Plus product for cats, the ingredients it contains, what types of parasitic pests it targets, possible side effects to consider, and some frequently asked questions. Both Frontline products formulated for cats are spot-on topical treatments that offer waterproof protection for 30 days. Unlike some spot-on flea medications, Frontline for cats does not have different products designed for additional weights. Frontline Plus and Frontline Gold are designed for any cat over 1.5 pounds. They have the same two active ingredients, although Frontline Gold has a third one, pyriproxyfen.

However, beyond those advantages, the spot-on treatments would appear to have more advantages and better safety parameters compared to the spray, especially for routine use in cats. Fleas can be hatching and living in the home environment. These fleas will still eventually seek out pets, giving the appearance of fleas on the cat not being killed by the product when in actuality these are new fleas seeking the cat out.If for some reason you are unsure if the product was administered correctly or whether all of it was applied, it is usually safest to not apply an additional dose. Thanks for your questions. It is very likely safe to use Frontline or Frontline Plus if it’s been almost a month since applying Advantage II. They do not contain the same ingredients. While Frontline GOLD and Advantage II both contain pyriproxyfen as ingredients, a concern is unlikely to occur with that kind of time spacing with a topical product.

The other downside to the spray vs. the spot-on is that the spot-ons have a measured dose based on weight, which is better for safety and knowing how much of the product the cat has received. With sprays, there are general guidelines of how much to apply (1-2 pumps per pound of body weight), but many folks, in seeing lots of fleas, are more likely to be very overzealous in their application of such a product. If there is some kind of health concern following application, it would be hard to quantify exactly how much the cat received. https://www.uwsheltermedicine.com/library/resources/can-fipronil-be-used-off-label-in-kittens-and-puppies con icon Two crossed lines that form an 'X'.

Before assuming the product doesn’t work, there are some things to consider. When there’s an active flea infestation and Frontline is applied to stop it, it can take 24 hours initially for the product to disseminate through the skin. Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. Flea shampoos kill fleas that are currently on your cat, but topical and oral flea control products are far more effective. Some flea shampoos are even harmful to cats since many contain pyrethrins. "Nowadays, flea shampoos are rarely if ever needed because the topical and oral flea products are much more effective and safer," Sawyer says. "For flea-infested animals, we typically give a fast-acting oral product such as nitenpyram [Capstar] and follow with a bath in Dawn dish detergent or another mild cat shampoo. You can use a flea comb to assist in removing dead fleas and flea dirt [flea feces]." Water exposure, bathing or shampooing does not affect the efficacy of the product as long as it doesn’t occur more than once a week or within 2 days of application of the product.

When used properly, side effects to Frontline products are uncommon. Frontline Plus for cats is only labeled for cats older than 8 weeks of age. Topical products like Frontline should never be ingested.http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/fipronil.html#:~:text=%2D858%2D7378.-,How%20does%20fipronil%20work%3F,bind%20to%20insect%20nerve%20endings Never use a product on a cat if it is labeled only for dogs. Some ingredients that are well-tolerated by dogs can be toxic to cats. "Anything with a permethrin, also known as pyrethrin, should never be used on a cat," Sawyer says. "[Cats] are very sensitive to pyrethrins and can have significant neurologic side effects, even death. Never use a product labeled for a dog on a cat as it may have pyrethrins in it even if not exclusively mentioned on the label." Is Seresto harmful to cats? Dr. Ashley Bourgeois, a veterinary dermatologist at Animal Dermatology Clinic, prefers Revolution Plus, saying that its active ingredients ( selamectin and sarolaner) are very effective and well-tolerated by cats. While Frontline products are considered to be waterproof, make sure not to bathe your kitty for 24-48 hours after an application. Bathing shortly before application may also reduce its effectiveness.
