Having a pet can be a great source of comfort and joy, however, it is important to remember to properly care for them in order to keep them safe and healthy. One area of pet care that is essential to address is flea and tick prevention. Frontline is a popular topical preventative solution applied monthly to help protect pets from fleas and ticks. Many pet owners may be wondering how long does Frontline last on a dog? In this blog post, we will outline the key factors affecting Frontline’s efficacy, so you can make an informed decision about providing your pet with proper flea and tick protection. We will also address other important aspects of flea and tick prevention, so you can be sure to give your pet the best possible care.
Here’s the answer you were searching for…..
Where can I find the FRONTLINE® flea and tick treatment’s expiration date, and how long will it last after purchase?
The pipette itself, the pipette foil at the bottom, and the side of the outer packaging all have the expiration date. Although typically less than this will be left at the point of purchase, FRONTLINE Plus®, FRONTLINE Tri-Act®, and FRONTLINE® Spot On have a shelf life of three years as of the time of manufacture. Please do not use any product beyond its expiry date. The expiration date is the last day of the month that is specified.

From flea and tick protection to skin and coat care.
No. Fleas are affected by FRONTLINE PLUS when they come into contact with the active ingredients on your pet’s coat. Unfortunately, there isn’t a product on the market that can instantly kill ticks or effectively repel fleas. Regardless of the flea control product used, fleas must jump onto treated pets in order to come into contact with the active ingredient, and all products take time to kill those fleas.
Breaking the flea cycle is the best way to get rid of fleas. You can protect your home environment and gradually reduce the flea population by using a flea treatment like FRONTLINE PLUS once a month. Additional environmental control can be used with a registered environment treatment like FRONTLINE HOME AND ENVIRONMENT FLEA SPRAY to resolve heavy environmental infestations more quickly.
Yes, to treat flea infestations and household contamination, FRONTLINE PLUS or FRONTLINE SPRAY should be applied simultaneously to all dogs and cats in the household. Fleas on any pet, even just one, could spread live flea eggs into your home if they are not treated. These eggs will grow into adult fleas and spread the infestation to all of your pets.
For optimum flea control, treat all of your canines and felines once a month. When properly applied, FRONTLINE PLUS keeps working to keep fleas away for at least a month. Apply FRONTLINE PLUS FOR DOGS every two weeks if you are in a paralysis tick area to protect your dog from paralysis ticks. Apply FRONTLINE SPRAY every three weeks to your cat if you live in a paralysis tick region to protect it from paralysis ticks.
For dogs and cats, FRONTLINE PLUS is a flea treatment that spreads throughout the coat in 24 hours and remains effective against fleas for one month. If fleas jump on your treated pet, they will be quickly killed. On your pet, however, adult fleas make up only 5% of the overall flea problem. The remaining 95% are the eggs, larvae, and pupae that are waiting to hatch and latch onto your pets in the environment. Your pet might continue to be infected if these are not addressed.
How well does Frontline Plus work in preventing and keeping ticks off dogs?
Frontline’s tick component is still as effective as ever, despite the fact that the flea component no longer works as well as it once did. Please take note that you must retreat every two weeks if you’re using it to treat for ticks.

Why are there still fleas on my dog after frontline?
A. Fleas are killed by the active ingredient in FRONTLINE (fipronil), which affects their nervous system and makes them hyperactive before killing them. The presence of visible fleas after treating your pet is a sign that the product is effective because these dying fleas frequently rise to the top of your pet’s haircoat.

FRONTLINE Spot On or FRONTLINE Plus will kill those fleas within 24 hours, giving them fewer opportunities to lay eggs (egg laying typically begins 24 hours after feeding), which will help you control the infestation in your home.
