Frontline Flea Control for Cats

Frontline Plus for cats, a liquid flea control medication that is applied to the cat's neck using a dropper, kills fleas, flea eggs, ticks and chewing lice.

  1. Prescription

    • Frontline flea control for cats is available with a prescription from most veterinarians' offices or from online pet pharmacies.

    Age

    • Frontline has been proven to be safe to use on kittens as young as 8 weeks of age. Starting your cat on a flea control medication as early as possible can prevent even weak kittens from getting fleas.

    Time Frame

    • Frontline works for a month to kill parasites and should be given to cats once every 30 days. More frequent application is not necessary.

    Translocation

    • Frontline flea control products are spread over a cat's body through a process known as translocation. The medication mingles with your cat's natural oils and gathers in the cat's hair follicles.

    Benefits

    • Frontline products have been found to kill fleas on cats within 12 hours and ticks within 48 hours after contact with a treated cat. A flea that lands on a Frontline-treated cat will not be around for long.
