Frontline for Cats Overview

Failure to apply to all pets in the household. If one pet brings fleas indoors, they can jump onto all pets in the home. If all pets are not treated at the same time, flea infestations can persist.

I would only consider reapplying if there’s a possibility the product may have been applied incorrectly or if your kitty had a bath shortly before or after application, etc. In the Frontline article, in the FAQ section, the first question “How Effective is Frontline for Cats” lists several reasons why folks may still see fleas after applying a topical product.While Frontline for Cats has been established as a safe product, the active ingredients may be found in other products in combination with other ingredients that are not safe for cats. This is especially the case with dog products like K9 Advtantix II that contains permethrin, which is extremely toxic to cats.

Bathing. Baths are a common go-to, especially when live fleas are seen. However, while waterproof, Frontline products need 24 hours to spread throughout the oils on the skin. Bathing shortly before or after application removes oils from the skin as well as possibly the product itself. There are four common types of these worms in dogs. If you’ve seen white things in dog poop or vomit, around their bum or on their bedding, you’re unlikely to be able to tell which type of worm it is. However, the white things are likely to be one of these worms, or a segment that’s broken off from a bigger worm in your dog’s intestines. 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. While the original Frontline could only kill adult fleas and did not treat all life stages of the flea, Frontline Plus includes the addition of (S)-methoprene, which is an insect growth regulator that additionally targets flea eggs and flea larvae, helping to interrupt the life cycle and prevent new adults from hatching and developing.Incorrect application. (i.e. applied to the fur not the skin, failing to apply the whole volume of product, failure to properly puncture or open a vial prior to application). Failing to Treat the Environment. Because one flea can lay up to 50 eggs in just one day, the amount of eggs in a home environment with fleas can be staggering. If the environment is not treated effectively, continually hatching fleas may continue to be found on a treated pet. This wormer is suitable for cats and kittens from 6 weeks of age and weighing at least 1kg. It is also licensed for use in nursing cats. Dosage instructions Kittens should be treated for roundworms every 2 weeks from 3 weeks of age until 8 weeks of age, then monthly to 6 months of age. The adult cats (greater than 6 months of age) should be treated every 1-3 months.

FRONTLINE® WORMER Tablets for Cats is a broad-spectrum wormer that kills all types of intestinal worms commonly found in the UK: both roundworms and tapeworms. It’s meat-flavoured and can be given with or without food, making it easier to give to your pet. Advantage II also has pyriproxyfen just like Frontline GOLD, which targets flea eggs and larvae. According to the manufacturer, Advantage II can kill all fleas within 12 hours of application. This may be more fast-acting than Frontline Plus but probably similar to Frontline GOLD. However, if you want to prevent worms from occurring, ensure you buy a medication which can do this. The best frequency is around every three months, but this may need to be more regular for any cats who pretty much live outdoors.

About Frontline for Cats An entomology (“bug science”) professor from the University of California heavily investigated this question and concluded that while resistance has been seen to some flea treatment or prevention products, true chemical resistance in fleas with fipronil, imidacloprid, and some other newer products on the market has not yet been demonstrated.
