Frontline Plus for Cats

I wish I had read these reviews prior to purchasing :( Have carried out 2 applications on my cat in 2 weeks, and the fleas are still jumping and biting. Do not recommend

rubbish everything – Almost impossible to open the pipettes. Bloody ridiculous packaging My cat was irrate by tge time a drop could be removed and acts like it burns her. Stay well away from frontline is my opinion. Bloody fleas are better than the crap frontline push. Show details

Total waste of money and time – Terrible. I wasted three months of using it and now have a flea infestation. I will require a fumigator and buying flea treatment from vet. Do NOT BUY. Show details

Confusing labelling is affecting reputation more than the product itself – These reviews are frustrating to say the least. I have an indoor cat that has never had fleas. I have only ever used it in order to meet cattery regulations when we've gone on hols. Have used tbe product 3 times in tbe last few years and my cat has never come back with fleas. So I assume it's working. I chose this brand because all of the major… Read more

brands seemed to have worse side effects and I'm not a fan of the 'one product to treat all' mentality. A lot of chemicals in your pet at once can't be good for them. I assumed Frontline Plus protected against ticks but now the box doesn't state ticks yet the same ingredients are listed on the dog product that says it does treat and protect against ticks. So what's tbe deal? Fipronil only protects dogs and not cats? This us what's annoying. The lack of information on packaging! Because if it doesn't work then there's no product out there that treats 'ticks' only. And if you double up, you risk overdosing your pet. Thus is a serious issue and should be clarified as a matter of priority!

Did absolutely nothing for the fleas – I have 3 indoor cats, and noticed that they were scratching and licking excessively. I checked their skin, and found that they were loaded with fleas, which within just 3 days, started affecting the house, so I went out and bought some bombs, and Frontline, since you should always treat your cat/s before bombing your house. I bought the pack of… Read more

six, and promptly administered the product. Well. While the bombs took care of the fleas in our house, our cats still have their fleas, and it's been 3 days. They're still scratching and licking like nothing's changed, and I can still see the blighters running around on them without a care in the world. It's ridiculous. I paid 66 bucks (it was on special at petstock). I looked the product up, and apparently it normally sells for 80 odd. There's no way I'd ever pay that much for this product. It doesn't even work! I think I'm gonna go back to Advantage. Yes, that's a little more expensive, but it works an absolute treat. Sorry Frontline, you lost a potential customer.

Reliable product – I use this on my cat every month but after a while i think about not using it for a while because she hasn't had any fleas for ages and to give her body a break from the chemicals. It takes about 2 months before she's scratching and licking and irritable from fleas again. It's very easy to use and i cant smell anything once it's been applied. I am… Read more

always careful to make sure the liquid goes directly on her skin, if it gets on the top layers of fur then it goes sticky and oily for a week or so. Although she shows no obvious side effects to this product i do notice something more subtle in her mood and find she has a week or so of being a bit quiet and 'unhappy' maybe even 'lethargic' ?? after i have applied it. It never used to happen but started after i used a supermarket product which had very strong side effects that were very noticeable. Sounds a bit strange but i wonder sometimes if it possibly builds up levels in her system to a point where she is sensitive to it. It does not cause any irritation or sensitivity to her skin. I am happy to use it as so far the benefits outweigh the minimal/possible side effects. Works well when given monthly. Easy to use. It's an insecticide and should be used with some caution. Dislike using such a strong product but find this is the most effective way of controlling fleas.

Helped 100% for mosquitoes – My cat was getting bitten and having allergic reactions from mosquitoes in our yard in qld, tried all different natural sprays, vet products, plants, everything. Used this product and it has kept all mozzies away from him and no more bites on his nose or lips. Show details

Wonderful – My cat had turned into a fleabag. I first tried the Frontline Plus Spray, and found that it did not work *at all* even after soaking her in the stuff. Many vets give a warning that only the spray works for paralysis ticks, which is why I tried the spray first. Upon switching to a single dose of this topical Frontline Plus, her flees… Read more

disappeared. I apply more Frontline Plus topical every couple months and we have had no further flee problems. Some vets and pet stores have said the topical does work for paralysis ticks as it is made out of the same chemicals. My last vet said the topical frontline may kill paralysis ticks, but will not stop them from attaching.

Regardless, this is the only product we use now, and I am thrilled with it.

Only product I use – We have tried a few flea treatments for our cats and frontline seems to be the only one that keeps the fleas away for more than 3 months. We have only been able to find it in pet city as no one else sells it anymore. and am sick of paying huge $$'s for products that don't work or keep fleas away for maybe a month

Does not work! – I brought this to treat my cats with, I have been treating them for four months but they still have fleas? Contacted Frontline who told me "it will kill fleas on the cats but new fleas might jump on them, then it will not work". I read online that Frontline Plus "works like a hoover any fleas that jump on your cats will die" this is not the same… Read more

as I was told by Frontline?

Personally I would not buy this product again it does not work, the company tells you differently to what is advertised online, they just want your money it will not get rid of the fleas.

Doesn't work – I am going back to the flea treatment I used previously, Frontline plus is useless and a complete waste of money. We followed the instructions carefully but this product has not worked and he is definitely more irritated. Show details

Doesn't work! – I received Frontline plus on a Monday and 4 days later my cats are still acting as if I used nothing. Both cats are still scratching and biting at fleas. I can't recommend this as a good flea medicine. Cheaper is sure not better. Show details

Does not work – I have followed all instructions and meticulously ridded my home of fleas. This product works for about ONE WEEK. My cat gets one week of respite from fleas then is infested again. Have to wait 3 weeks until next treatment for just one week of respite! A waste of money. The fleas look very healthy and lively, meanwhile my cat is sick from… Read more

exhaustion. This product is a scam that makes flea numbers even larger so you use up the product faster therefore giving the company more money. Makes sense as a money making scam.

Doesn't work - use another brand – I've tried Frontline Plus on my cats 3 times now. It was on special at Pet Barn so I bought a few packs that should have lasted me a few months at least. The cats were scratching even after a had administered the product. I have applied vials once a week for the last 2 months. Absolutely nothing changed. In fact I started being bitten by fleas… Read more

too! It's a complete waste of money. This stuff is expensive and should be working as the box advertises. Now that I've used all the Frontline Plus up, I am going back to Advantage. Don't waste your money.

total garbage, does not work at all.a scam – my 2 cats had a few fleas put frontline plus on them and it just kept getting worse, i thought it maybe just takes time to work, after 2 weeks they had so many fleas they were getting anemic, i even added a second dose, this garbage did nothing, please dont risk your cats life, to many fleas on cats will kill them, older cats are more at risk,they… Read more

should be ashamed to sell this junk, i bought capstar, its made for flea infestations, killed all fleas in one day, it works for 24 hours to kill all fleas, then put on revolution or advantage a monthly topical, who ever said this stuff works, has to work for frontline,what a disgrace,to many fleas will kill a cat,please use capstar or product like it to kill all fleas first then use a monthly medicine, i hate to think of all the other cats suffering because of this, my vet said he has heard same thing about frontline plus.

Dose not work – I agree with all the rest this dose not work done the three month still fleas also had pest spray whole house n yard not happy would not buy again  Show details

Does not work – This is by far the worst product I've ever used does not work at all and after 150 pound later in 3 lots of flea treatments and house bombs which was a waste of money and time, because it did not work at all whole family was covered in flea bites and had to wait a whole month to get a product that actually worked instantly which is advantage by… Read more

far the best , also had to rehome two cats because of the cost and effects of the bites because some of us in the house was suffering terrible and one pregnant awful awful awful product do not use!!!!!!!

Should be banned – After treating my cats not once not twice but THREE times they STILL have fleas on them that I’m finding. They’re still scratching. This product does NOT work & should be removed from being able to sell. What a waste of money!!! Show details

Cat still has flea dirt after 3 months – On the label it says that the product kills the fleas breeding cycle which takes 3 months so I persevered for this time. Results were very negative. Would not recommend Show details

Terrible product! Stay away! – We have 2 cats and a kitten that are indoor cats. We were prompted by pets at home (uk store) to buy this on a prescription service and were told it was the best you could buy. I noticed a few dead fleas within the first 24hrs however the cats were still scratching on day 2 and day 3 and I was still finding full grown fleas on them. Did not work… Read more

at all! Annoying as we had to wait a full 4 weeks to treat them again and put up with the fleas for all that time... would not recommend but would highly recommend Johnsons which has worked for us within a few hours every time!

Waste of money – Just do not waste your money. It says dose your cat every 6 weeks. After 2 weeks with no change to the number of fleas, I dosed her again, thinking this will surely do it. Nope. One evening casually stroking her fur I saw TWELVE happy little fleas scurrying around. Very difficult to catch, not even slowed down by the drug in the slightest.… Read more

Customer service tried to claim those are just NEW fleas jumping on my cat, and they'll die in a couple of days. Hmmmm, so how come I switched to Bravecto and within TWO DAYS there were no fleas at all on either of my cats. Two weeks in, I check their fur daily, and the only fleas I have found have been dead ones. Case closed. Frontline fails.

Frontline was killing our cat! – This product should be banned and the manufacturer made responsible for vet bills. Our Vet bill now stands at approximately $2,000. We have a Maine Coon cat which was healthy until we started applying Frontline Gold which was recommended by our Vet once a month. After several applications, he started having seizures. He has had 4 seizures that… Read more

occurred every 3 months. Other adverse reactions include: tremendous amounts of hair loss which occurred twice, continuous scratching/licking due to his hair becoming detached from his skin, and a bald spot on his skin where Frontline was applied...the bald spot now has a red dot on it. The last application of Frontline was 9-1-18. The last seizure was 9-27-18. We stopped the Frontline and have now passed that proverbial 3 month mark for seizures....keeping our fingers crossed! We have NO way of knowing if he will have long-term affects from this horrible product; but, it has been 3(+) months and hair regrowth is NOT occurring. This product was killing our pet.

Wish I’d read the reviews before I bought it! – My cat still has fleas after treatment, what a waste of money ! I have boomed the house & my cat never leaves the house.

Pathetic Product – I have been using new Front line plus since March 2018. Within a month, my cat was losing fur, in spots where the product has been applied. After hefty vet bills for skin tests, allergies, anti-biotics, and low grade steroids, the spots are still there, and last month, one of the blots had red dots and scabbed dots. He is always licking the… Read more

areas, and rubbing them on the rug (ie. scratching). He doesn't like me touching them, either. NO MORE FL Plus for him.

Terrible I used Frontline plus on my cats necks and had to use 2 each and still didnt work – Terrible I used Frontline plus on my cats necks and had to use 2 each and still didn't work. I couldn't be more disappointed as i am a single mum on limited money and wasted it on this product.

Works eventually and didn't kill my cats – Used Frontline regularly and successfully on my cat for years until the vet stopped selling it due to bad reviews. I bought Revolution from my vet which killed my cat! I am so distressed that I didn't stay with Frontline and go elsewhere to buy it. I now have two more beautiful cats, who had fleas when I first brought them home and it is Frontline… Read more

for them. No, it doesn't work as well as it use to for flea infestations. The first dose reduced the fleas but didn't kill them all. Most fleas were gone after the second dose. They were clear of fleas after the third dose. I would much rather wait longer for a product to work then have it kill my cats. I only use the product in the lead up to the summer months so that their body has a break from the product. After all, all of these products, no matter what brand are poisons!

Product didn't work – I thought I would give it a try, infortunately it didn't do much. It is easy to administer and I didn't notice any side effects. It just didn't kill or prevent fleas.I wont buy it again for sure.

Very unhappy cat – Used frontline plus on my cat and within a day he was scratching more and has lost fur from around his neck where the pippette was applied and he is licking himself constantly and his tummy is going bald too. Off to the vets we go tomorrow and get another flea treatment. I won't be buying frontline plus again.

No effect on fleas – My poor cat suffered for weeks with a bad flea infestation which was getting worse by the day whilst using frontline. I actually dabbed some fleas which were running about in his tummy with the pipette and the product had no effect whatsoever. Bought advantage and cleared up the problem within a day. Will never buy frontline again!
