Frontline Plus Small Dog (0-10kg) 1 Pip

FRONTLINE® Plus Small Dog is a topical flea and tick treatment for dogs and puppies weighing 0–10kg, suitable from 8 weeks of age.

FRONTLINE Plus combines two active ingredients: fipronil, which targets adult fleas and ticks, and (S)-methoprene, an insect growth regulator that helps interrupt the flea life cycle by acting on flea eggs and larvae.

After application, FRONTLINE Plus distributes across the dog's body through translocation, with the skin's sebaceous glands acting as a reservoir from which the active ingredients are continuously released onto the skin surface.

The product is also described as waterproof, making it suitable for dogs that are exposed to water as part of their normal routine.

How FRONTLINE Plus Works

Fipronil targets the nervous system of fleas and ticks following contact with the treated animal.

(S)-methoprene acts as an insect growth regulator. It interferes with flea egg development and hatching and inhibits larval development, helping interrupt the flea life cycle.

This combination provides a broader approach to flea control than a product targeting adult fleas alone.
