If you use a topical flea treatment regularly on your pets it quickly becomes second nature. But, if switching to spot on flea products like Frontline Plus, for the first time, it can appear a little tricky.

In fact you will find it very simply to apply Frontline Plus in most cases.  You just need to keep calm, relaxed, organised, and in charge of your pets for a few minutes!  The whole idea is to have the whole thing done and dusted before your dog or cat really knows what is going on!

Personally, I have never found any of my pets to be particularly bothered about having a liquid flea treatment applied.  One of dogs, with a particularly sensitive back doesn’t like the liquid to be too cold but, but generally by the time she realises this is an issue, its already applied.  Working swiftly and without making it into any big issue will keep pets calm and unaware of flea medicine time.

Whether you are dealing with a pet cat or dog the steps are pretty much the same:

1. The first step is always to double-check you have the right packet for the weight and type of animal you are treating.  It is important to remember that Frontline Plus for Cats is only for felines, and Frontline Plus for Dogs is only for canines.  Plus, the dosages are created to suit particular sizes of animal, so do double check before applying.
2. Peel back the foil and take out one pipette of Frontline Plus.
3. Sit down comfortably with your pet, and snap the end of the capsule, away from face and body.
4. Part the fur of your pet* and empty the entire capsule directly onto the skin.
5. Give your pet a fuss for being such a good girl or boy and you’re done.

* For cats it is always best to apply Frontline Plus onto the skin at the base of the neck, whilst for dogs treat the skin between the shoulder-blades.

Your pet should be dry when using any topical flea treatment, so it is always a good idea to apply at least 24 hours after bathing.  Also allow a further 24 hours before bathing after applying Frontline Plus.

For complete flea and tick control Frontline Plus should be re-applied every month.

Kittens and puppies as young as 8 weeks, plus breeding and lactating animals may be safely treated with Frontline Plus, as confirmed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in May 2003.

Cheap Frontline Plus for Dogs

You can order Frontline Plus flea treatment with great discounts online, usually offering a far better price than the average veterinary office.  And, since this is one pet product you will be using very regularly, it makes sense to ensure you pay the lowest price possible.

Frontline Plus Best Price

When we carry out our periodic price comparisons, we are often pretty amazed at just how minimal the discounts can be.  Some of the most popular online retailers seem to offer the worst prices.  I guess, if you are such a well known name in the world of pet flea treatments you simply don’t need to be the most competitive when it comes to pricing.

That doesn’t mean we suggest using some fly-by-night retailer you have never heard of either.  But, shopping around is crucial if you want the very best discounts on your most often used products.

We have found that amazon are consistently the best priced source of Frontline Plus (and a few other flea treatments too). Updated – you can view one of our recent searches for the cheapest price for Frontline Plus in a more recent article.

Generic Frontline Plus

One of the benefits of generics is they tend to offer an even greater cost saving, over the original brands.  We have been seeing sales of Fiproguard Plus (a generic version of Frontline Plus, made by Sergeant’s Pet Care Products) slowly growing over recent months.

However, on the whole the prices offered for this particular generic pet medicine were really not that much different from a good low cost source of the branded original.  Generally we didn’t see much point in switching away from the Merial produced original, since the cost savings were so minimal.  However, we now have some rather exciting news, since Sergeant’s Pet Care Products are also producing Pronyl Plus.  This too is a generic version of Frontline Plus.  But, as it is being marketed at grocery stores and other cut price stores, it is being sold at a much lower price than the Fiproguard Plus product which is sold via specialist pet suppliers.

Confused?  Yes, we were a little too.  But if you check the pack details you can see that both varieties of generic Frontline Plus (Pronyl Plus and Fiproguard Plus) contain the same volume of the same active ingredients as the original (fipronil 9.8% and S-methoprene 8.8% for dogs, and fipronil 9.8% and S-methoprene 11.8% for cats).

Basically by choosing the product aimed at more discount stores, you can enjoy the benefits of Frontline Plus, but with a cost saving of around 40%, which is a discount worth actually opting for.

Capstar Flea Medication is an easy to use method of controlling fleas.  Given as an oral flea tablet, Capstar is extremely mild and of course leaves no residue on your pet.  This makes an oral flea treatment particularly useful for families that include small children, since parents often worry about their kids petting the animals after treatment with an external flea treatment such as Frontline Plus.

Novartis Capstar is provided in two color coded pack sizes, making choosing which flea tablet to use pretty simple…

Capstar Blue

Capstar Blue is the most popular choice since it safely treats both cats and small to medium sized dogs for fleas.  Cats and dogs from two to twenty-five pounds can be treated for fleas with one Capstar Blue tablet.

Capstar Green

Capstar Green is used to safely treat larger dogs between  twenty-five and one hundred and twenty-five pounds.

Using Capstar Flea Medication

Once you have chosen the correct pack size you simply give your pet one flea tablet.  You can give them whole or broken up into food if preferred.  Either way one tablet will get to work pretty quickly.  Within half an hour adult fleas will start to be destroyed, and within four hours 90% of all fleas present will have been killed.

This flea tablet works for twenty four hours, so any new fleas encountered during that time will also be safely eradicated.  Most pet owners choose to use such a daily flea treatment to deal with flea control for pets that do not regularly come into contact with adult flea populations.  For instance ad-hoc excursions to the dog-park or boarding kennels can be prime spots from which to bring home fleas.  Using Capstar before you go is an easy way to prevent this problem.

Capstar flea tablets destroy adult fleas only.  It is perfectly safe to use these pills in conjunction with other flea control methods, and it is recommended by the manufacturer that Program Flea Control is used once a month as these deal with immature fleas before they can become biting adults.

Being extremely mild Capstar Flea Medication is perfectly safe to use on breeding, pregnant and nursing cats and dogs and even on kittens and puppies as young as four weeks of age (providing they weight two or more pounds).  You can buy cheap Capstar flea tablets by simply clicking on the image or blue text at the top of this article.  We regularly price-check to ensure the links send you to the best deals on all pet meds online.  For more information check out our earlier article regarding Capstar Flea Control.
