Frontline Plus is a monthly topical flea and tick preventative for dogs and cats. Frontline Plus kills 100% of adult fleas on your pet within 12 hours and 100% of all ticks and chewing lice within 48 hours. Frontline Plus contains an insect growth regulator, S-methoprene, which kills flea eggs and larvae.

How it works: Frontline Plus contains fipronil, a broad-spectrum insecticide and slow-acting poison that disrupts the central nervous system of fleas and ticks and S-Methoprene, an insect growth regulator that kills flea eggs and larvae.

Kills Fleas but not Ticks
Frontline Plus is making a false claim in saying it kills ticks. A day after putting Frontline on my cats, I found a tick crawling on one. So, it doesn't kill them instantly. No big deal.
Two days after putting Frontline on my cats, I found a tick attached to one of my cats. I figured Frontline just hadn't had enough time to kill it yet.
But yesterday, a week and a half after applying Frontline, I found ANOTHER TICK ATTACHED to one of my cats.
The reason I bought this product was because it killed ticks. It's the only cat medication that claims to do so.

Product is working for my two cats
Frontline is working for my two cats who spend time outside. My vet had suggested I switch to another product but when I did, flea eggs and larvae were not killed. Switched vets for that and other reasons and also switched back to Frontline. Sweety and Sugar Boy are now flea free.

Nope!
Didn't work on my Shih Tzu whatsoever. Will not be buying again.

According to the video you provide this product kills ticks in 48 hours. I keep my dog on this product year round. Recently two engorged ticks fell off her on to the floor. I killed and disposed of them but I'm wondering what would have happened had I not found them. Would they have died, from feeding on her blood, before they hatched a brood?
My dog is 4 pounds, the frontline plus I bought from you says 05-22 pounds on the box but it is the same dosage as frontline plus bought elsewhere that says 0-22 lbs on the box, can i give the frontline i bought from you (05-22 lbs on the box) to my puppy who is only 4 pounds?
I use Hartz brand flea and tick collar for my dog and it is up to 7 months. I put on him yesterday.If I order frontline plus can I use on him for next month ? I will take off his collar.
