- Frontline Spot On Cat
Frontline Spot On Cat is a fipronil based treatment for cats that gives long-lasting protection against fleas and ticks and controls biting lice.
Apply once a month to the back of the neck.
Spot on solution containing 10% w/v fipronil. Each pipette contains 0.5 ml (50 mg fipronil). Frontline can be used in kittens from 8 weeks of age and weighing at least 1kg.
Frontline acts by direct contact with parasites and not via your pet's bloodstream. It kills fleas within 24 hours without requiring them to bite your pet. Frontline kills adult fleas on your pet within 24 hours and keeps your pet protected for up to 5 weeks in cats.
Frontline kills ticks within 48 hours, minimising the risk of a tick-borne disease being transmitted to your pet. Frontline does not prevent ticks attaching to the animal, but ticks will be killed in the first 24-48 hours after attachment. Tick protection lasts up to 1 month.
Frontline is also effective against the main types of biting lice on cats, controlling lice infestations within 48 hours.
Frontline Spot On Cat is licensed for use as part of a strategy for the treatment of Flea Allergy Dermatitis. For this condition, monthly application to the allergic patient and to other cats in the household is recommended.
Method of administration
Hold upright. Tap the narrow part of the pipette to ensure that the contents are within the main body of the pipette. Break back the snap-off top of the spot-on pipette along the scored line. Part the coat between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze gently to empty its contents onto the skin, preferably at two spots, one at the base of the skull and a second 2-3 cms further back.
Care should be taken to avoid excessive wetting of the hair with the product since this will cause a sticky appearance of hairs at the treatment spot. However, should this occur, it will disappear within 24 hours post application.
It is important to apply the dose to an area where the animal cannot lick off and to make sure that animals do not lick each other after treatment. If licking does occur, a brief period of hypersalivation may be observed, due mainly to the nature of the carrier. Ensure that treated animals do not groom each other after treatment until dry.
Frontline Cat covers up to 6.6kg so if your cat is heavier you may require Frontline Combo which covers up to 10kg.
