How effective is Frontline Combo Spot on for my large dog (40-60kg) against fleas and ticks, especially in the house?

Frontline Combo Spot on for dogs weighing 40-60kg is highly effective! It contains fipronil and (S)-methoprene, which work together to kill fleas and ticks on your dog. Importantly, a large percentage of fleas and ticks (around 70% of fleas and 95% of ticks) live in your home environment, not just on your pet. This product helps break that cycle by killing these pests where they live, preventing re-infestation on your dog. Just one pipette applied every 4 weeks provides continuous protection.

I'm worried about applying flea and tick treatment. How do I use this pipette correctly, and how often should I apply it for my 40-60kg dog?

Using Frontline Combo Spot on is straightforward. For dogs between 40-60kg, you'll use one full pipette. Part the fur on your dog's back, right at the base of the neck (between the shoulder blades). Squeeze the entire pipette contents directly onto the skin. It's important to apply it in one spot where your dog can't lick it off. You should reapply one pipette every 4 weeks to maintain effective protection against fleas and ticks.

Does this Frontline pipette only kill pests on my dog, or does it help with the ones in my home too? What makes it different?

That's a great question! Frontline Combo Spot on is designed to tackle fleas and ticks both on your dog and in your living environment. The active ingredients, fipronil and (S)-methoprene, not only kill adult fleas and ticks on your pet but also target immature flea stages in the environment. This dual action is crucial because most flea and tick populations reside in your home, carpets, and bedding. By addressing the environmental aspect, it significantly reduces the overall pest burden, offering more comprehensive control than treatments that only focus on the animal.

Product Details

Frontline Combo is a monthly spot-on treatment for extra-large dogs (40-60kg) that kills fleas and ticks and breaks the flea life-cycle to prevent reinfestation, with waterproof protection even after bathing or swimming.

Composition: Fipronil 9.8% w/w (402mg per pipette) and (S)-Methoprene 8.8% w/w (361.8mg per pipette).

Indications: Flea infestations (Ctenocephalides spp.), alone or together with tick infestations (e.g., Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Ixodes spp., Dermacentor spp.) and biting/chewing lice.

Dosage: One 4.02ml pipette applied topically once a month, providing a minimum dose of approximately 6.7mg/kg fipronil and 6mg/kg (S)-methoprene for dogs over 40kg.

Directions for use: Part the coat at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades until the skin is visible, then apply the full pipette directly to the skin, avoiding broken skin or lesions.

How does the medicine work? : Fipronil binds to GABA-gated chloride channels in the parasite's nervous system, causing fatal overstimulation; (S)-methoprene mimics flea juvenile hormone, preventing eggs and larvae from maturing into adult fleas.

Possible side effects: Mild salivation if licked, or transient local skin reactions, are possible. Do not use on dogs under the minimum labelled age/weight. Do not use dog pipettes on cats.
