An external antiparasitic protection suited to small dogs

Frontline Spot On S is an external antiparasitic veterinary medicinal product intended for dogs weighing between 2 and 10 kg. It is used for the treatment and prevention of infestations by fleas, ticks and biting lice. Presented as spot-on pipettes for cutaneous application, this flea treatment for dogs acts exclusively by contact, without systemic diffusion. This characteristic allows targeted action while respecting the animal's physiological balance.

The active substance, fipronil, spreads progressively over the entire cutaneous surface after application. This homogeneous diffusion takes place within 24 to 48 hours, ensuring complete coverage against external parasites. Fleas are eliminated in less than 24 hours, while ticks are generally eliminated within 48 hours. Frontline Spot On S also acts against biting lice, which are responsible for itching and skin irritation.

Documented efficacy against external parasites in dogs

Thanks to its contact mode of action, the fipronil contained in Frontline Spot On S disrupts the nervous system of susceptible parasites. It causes their rapid elimination as soon as they come into contact with the treated skin. This targeted action limits exposure of the dog's body, since the active ingredient does not pass into the bloodstream.

Each application provides protection against fleas for four weeks and protection against ticks for two weeks. This duration allows Frontline Spot On S to be integrated into a regular antiparasitic strategy, particularly for dogs exposed to a high-risk environment. This treatment can also be included, following veterinary diagnosis, in a management programme for Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD).

Frontline Spot On S can be used in dogs from 8 weeks of age, provided they weigh at least 2 kg. It can also be used in pregnant or lactating female dogs, in accordance with the information provided in the official package leaflet.

Frequently asked questions about Frontline Spot On S

Is Frontline Spot On S a good flea treatment for dogs?

Frontline Spot On S is a flea treatment for dogs widely used in veterinary medicine. Its efficacy is based on fipronil, a recognised active ingredient against external parasites. It acts rapidly by contact and offers lasting protection. It is particularly suited to dogs weighing 2 to 10 kg exposed to fleas and ticks. However, the choice of treatment depends on the dog's lifestyle and environment. Veterinary advice is still recommended.

How long does Frontline protect against fleas?

After application, Frontline Spot On S protects the dog against fleas for approximately four weeks. This duration helps limit reinfestations when regular treatment is in place. However, in cases of high parasitic pressure, appropriate monitoring and treatment of the environment may be necessary to maintain optimal protection.

Can Frontline Spot On S be used on a sensitive dog?

Frontline Spot On S acts by contact and does not pass into the bloodstream. This characteristic limits the dog's systemic exposure. It is generally well tolerated when used in accordance with the recommendations. However, in dogs with particular skin sensitivity, veterinary advice is recommended before the first application.

Is environmental treatment necessary in the case of fleas?

The presence of fleas on a dog most often indicates an infestation of the environment. Eggs and larvae develop in textiles, floors and resting areas. For complete action, it is recommended to combine the flea treatment for dogs with appropriate measures in the home. This comprehensive approach helps limit reinfestations over the long term.
