Frontline Flea Spot On for Dogs 3 pack - Small Dog 2-10kg

Description

Frontline Spot On for Small Dogs is an external flea and tick treatment for dogs weighing between 2kg and 10kg. This pack contains three individual 0.67ml pipettes, each providing 67mg of fipronil for one application. It is suitable for dogs and puppies from eight weeks of age that meet the minimum weight requirement. Frontline Spot On for Small Dogs treats adult fleas, ticks and biting lice, helping owners address common external parasites without giving a tablet. The liquid is applied directly to the skin rather than sprayed across the coat or swallowed. Choosing the correct weight band matters because the pipette contains a complete measured treatment for that size of dog. Weigh your dog before use, especially if a puppy is growing or an adult is close to the upper end of the range. The three pipettes are separate treatments, not three parts of one dose, and should be kept in their packaging until required.

Fleas can cause more than occasional scratching. Their bites may leave a dog restless, nibbling at the coat or rubbing against furniture, and sensitive animals can develop pronounced skin irritation. Small dark specks in the coat may be flea dirt, while adult fleas can be difficult to spot in thick fur. A home infestation also includes developing stages away from the dog, particularly around bedding, carpets and resting places. Frontline Spot On for Small Dogs targets parasites on the animal, but a household problem needs attention to those surroundings as well. Ticks present a different challenge because they attach to the skin to feed and may be picked up during outdoor activity. Biting lice live in the coat and can also contribute to discomfort. Frontline Spot On for Small Dogs covers these listed parasites, but itching has other possible causes. Persistent soreness, extensive hair loss or skin that becomes damaged warrants veterinary assessment instead of repeated flea treatment without a diagnosis. A reminder on your calendar can help maintain the agreed schedule. Keep the weight band and application date together in your pet’s records, and review the product choice as a growing puppy becomes a heavier dog.

Fipronil, the active ingredient in Frontline Spot On for Small Dogs, disrupts signalling in the nervous systems of susceptible parasites. After application, it spreads over the skin and coat, where parasites come into contact with it. This product contains fipronil alone and should not be confused with other Frontline formulations that contain additional active ingredients.

To apply Frontline Spot On for Small Dogs, hold one pipette upright and tap the narrow section so the contents collect in the main body. Snap the tip along its scored line, then part the hair until the skin is visible. Empty the full pipette onto the skin at the sites described in the leaflet, preferably two nearby spots at the base of the skull and a little further back. Applying the liquid to accessible skin helps avoid wasting it on the outer hair. Choose an area your dog cannot lick, and prevent pets grooming one another until the application site has dried. Frontline Spot On for Small Dogs is for external use only and must be kept away from the eyes and mouth. Wash your hands after treatment and avoid touching the application area while it is wet. Children should not handle the treated dog until dry, and recently treated animals should not sleep with owners, particularly children. Follow the leaflet’s handling precautions throughout administration.

Successful flea control often requires persistence beyond the first application. Vacuum carpets and upholstered furniture, clean the areas where pets rest and wash bedding as the fabric allows; the product information recommends washing pet bedding at 60°C. Where an infestation is established, an appropriate household insecticide may be needed for carpets and furnishings. Use household products only as directed and never apply a household spray to your dog. Other pets should receive a treatment specifically suitable for their species and circumstances. Frontline Spot On for Small Dogs must not be used on cats or rabbits, and it should not be combined simultaneously with other flea products applied directly to the animal. Keep a record of each application date so another member of the household does not accidentally repeat treatment. Seeing newly emerged fleas does not automatically mean another pipette is due. Frontline Spot On for Small Dogs should remain part of a planned approach that addresses both the animal and the home.

Bathing and swimming need to be considered when using Frontline Spot On for Small Dogs. Avoid bathing or water immersion during the first two days after application, and do not allow swimming in watercourses during that period. More frequent bathing than once a week should also be avoided; ask for advice if your dog regularly needs a medicated shampoo. Frontline Spot On for Small Dogs must not be used on sick or recovering animals, or those with a known allergy to its ingredients. Very rarely, reactions such as local redness, itching, hair loss, vomiting or unusual behaviour may occur. Licking the liquid can cause drooling. Contact your vet if a reaction develops or if you suspect an overdose. Keep unused pipettes securely in their original packaging and dispose of used ones promptly so children cannot access them. Check the printed expiry date before application, and discuss ongoing tick exposure with a veterinary professional if you need a different parasite control plan.

Which dogs can use Frontline Small Dog 0.67ml pipettes?

This presentation is for dogs weighing 2–10kg and puppies at least eight weeks old that weigh at least 2kg. Weigh your dog before selecting a pack. It must not be used on sick or recovering animals, and another species must receive a product specifically appropriate for that animal.

How long does Frontline Spot On protect against fleas and ticks?

The current GB product information specifies four weeks against new adult flea infestations and up to two weeks against ticks. These periods differ, so do not assume equal protection. The minimum treatment interval remains four weeks; discuss the most suitable plan if your dog has ongoing tick exposure.

Where should I apply Frontline Spot On to my dog?

Part the coat to expose the skin and empty the pipette at the sites specified in the leaflet, preferably near the base of the skull and slightly further back. Keep it away from eyes and mouth. Choose inaccessible areas and prevent animals licking each other until the liquid dries.

Can I bathe my dog after applying Frontline?

Avoid bathing or immersion in water for two days after application, and keep your dog out of watercourses during that time. Bathing more often than weekly should also be avoided. If regular swimming or medicated shampoo is part of your dog’s routine, ask which parasite-control approach is most suitable.

Why can I still see fleas after using Frontline?

Developing fleas in bedding, carpets and other resting areas can continue emerging after the dog is treated. Address the home as well as every pet with suitable products. Do not apply another pipette early. If fleas persist despite correct treatment and environmental control, ask a veterinary professional to reassess.

Does Frontline Small Dog stop ticks attaching?

No. It kills susceptible ticks after attachment rather than repelling them, and ticks are killed within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Some dead ticks may remain attached and need careful removal. Disease transmission cannot be completely excluded, so continue checking your dog after walks and seek advice about suspicious symptoms.
