Functioning
This flea and tick medication for dogs is applied topically to the dog's fur coat. On application, the medicine spreads across the body via a process called translocation. The natural oils of the pet disperse this medicine through the entire body. This medicine then gets collected within the oil glands that are present on the skin surface. Since Frontline sticks on to the surface of the skin, it destroys any fleas and ticks that come into contact with the dog's fur coat.
Frontline Plus works in more than just one way to ensure optimal health of your pet. Here are some of the benefits of using this medicine for your pet.
* It kills all the parasites including fleas, ticks, and lice etc that are present on the fur of your dog.
* Frontline Plus sticks on to the surface of your dog's skin, which helps avoid future parasite transmitted infections.
* It is highly effective and provides relief within 24 hours of application.
* It is easy to use and apply.
* Unlike other flea and tick medications, Frontline plus is waterproof. So, even if your dog is swimming, the medicine will continue to stay on.
* It works for at least a month after you have applied the medicine. So use the medicine for once and you can expect your pet to be parasite free for at least the next 30 days.
