Frontline Spray

Route of administration: mechanical pump spray for external use.

Method of administration: Adjust the pump nozzle to spray setting.

Spray the entire body of the animal, and apply from a distance of approximately 10-20cm.

Apply against the lay of the hair and make sure that the entire coat of the animal is dampened. Ruffle the coat, especially in long haired animals, so that the product penetrates down to the skin.

For treatment of the head region, and when treating young or nervous pets, application may be carried out by spraying onto a gloved hand and rubbing the product into the coat. Allow to dry naturally. Do not towel dry.

Posology: In order to dampen the coat down to the skin, depending on the length of hair, apply 3 to 6 ml per kg bodyweight, (7.5 to 15mg of active ingredient per kg bodyweight) i.e. 6 to 12 pump applications per kg bodyweight of the 100ml presentation, or 2 to 4 pump applications of the 250ml and 500ml presentations.

The 100ml pack contains approximately 8 treatments for a short haired medium sized cat (4kg). The 250ml pack contains approximately 4 treatments for a short haired medium sized dog (20kg). The 500ml pack contains approximately 8 treatments for a short haired medium sized dog (20kg).

Properties: The formulation contains a coating agent. Therefore, spraying builds up a film and makes the fur glossy.

In the absence of safety studies, the minimum treatment interval is 4 weeks.

The product is active for up to 3 months against fleas in dogs, and up to 2 months in cats, depending on the environmental challenge. It is effective against tick infestations for up to one month in dogs and cats, depending on the level of environmental challenge.

Puppies and kittens from 2 days of age may be safely treated.

Treatment of bedding, carpets and soft furnishings with a suitable insecticide will aid reduction in environmental challenge and maximise the duration of protection against re-infestation provided by the product.

The product is not suitable for direct treatment of the environment.

For optimum efficacy, it is not recommended to bathe or shampoo animals in the two days prior to or following treatment with the product. Bathing or shampooing up to four times in two months has been shown to have no significant effect on the residual efficacy of the product. Monthly treatment is recommended when more frequent shampooing is carried out.
