Frontline Plus for dogs is a product that comes in a plastic tube in liquid form that is recommended by many veterinarians as a way to get rid of fleas and ticks and keep them away. Frontline Plus can remove any living flea or tick for up to 30 days. A new application is necessary each month. To apply the product, cut the tip of the tube off and let it drip onto the dog's skin. Be sure to move the hair out of the way before applying the product. The most common area to apply Frontline Plus is on the back of the dog's neck. It can also be applied to the dog's back. The product comes in packages of three to 12 applications.
