Frontline Plus for Extra Large Dogs

Product Overview

Frontline Plus XL is a veterinarian-approved flea and tick treatment specifically designed for large dogs. This advanced formula combines two active ingredients – fipronil and (S)-methoprene – to deliver complete protection against fleas, ticks, and their developing stages. The easy-to-use topical solution comes in pre-measured applicator tubes, offering pet owners a convenient and effective way to safeguard their dogs from parasitic infestations.

Uses

This medication provides dual-action defense against flea and tick infestations in canines. It effectively eliminates adult fleas, flea eggs, larvae, ticks, and chewing lice while preventing future outbreaks. By controlling flea populations, it helps reduce skin irritation from flea bites and lowers the risk of tick-transmitted illnesses including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

How to Use

For proper application:
1. Hold the sealed pipette upright and gently tap the narrow end to collect all liquid
2. Snap the tip along the marked line to open
3. Part your dog’s fur between the shoulder blades to expose bare skin
4. Squeeze the entire contents directly onto the skin
Avoid contact with eyes or mouth. Reapply monthly for continuous protection.

How it Works

The formula works through two complementary mechanisms:
– Fipronil attacks the nervous system of parasites, causing paralysis and death
– (S)-methoprene inhibits the development of flea eggs and larvae
This combination provides immediate pest elimination while disrupting the reproductive cycle for long-term control.

Dosage and Administration

For dogs over 40kg:
– Apply one 4.02mL pipette monthly
– Always match the product to your dog’s weight
– For cats or other animals, use species-specific products
Consult your veterinarian to determine the most appropriate treatment schedule.
