Frontline Plus

Frontline Plus
for Dog and Puppies up to 10 kg
Tick and Flea Killer

I've tried out this more expensive tick and flea repellant named Frontline.  Price rannges from Php300-Php400 per vial in Cartimar.  It is definitely cheaper to buy the whole box containing 3 vials for Php900.





Upon reading the inserted instructions manual, I found out they recommend re-application with an interval of 1 month so as to fully intervene with the flea and tick life cycles.  This would allow for higher rate of succes in eradicating these parasites.  That woukd explain the 3 packets/vials in 1 box.  Well, I had 3 dogs and used up all the vials in each of them.

So 2 to 3 weeks into application of the prodyct, I find that the smaller ticks are not that present anymore, but the other type with thicker exoskeleton and longer legs are still present.  Eventually, I would still find some ticks attached to my dogs but seemingly dead even after giving my dogs a bath.

My first impression is that I was less impressed with Frontline's result as compared Detick's.  In Detick, the parasites would fall off the dog and there were less alive ones that you can spot.

I am still giving Frontline a chance as per their recommendation of reapplication.  Hopefully so, this would eradicate the parasites completely for months.


Thank you for reading.

God bless (^_~)
