Frontline Plus for Dogs

Bought a 3 pack and I’ve used two vials, one month apart as required 21/03/25 and 18/04/25 My dog still has fleas! Product expires 09/25 so still should be active. Sue 25/04/25 Show details

Used on cats and dogs – I have been using this product for several years on both cats and dogs. Never had a problem. No fleas at all. But you must clear your house and property of fleas first to a reasonable state. In the house use flea bombs. I did get a couple of ticks on one cat. But as the label says, it only lasts 2 weeks for ticks and always check your pets. Very happy with the product. Show details

Works fine – It works if you treat the dog and the fleas environment/ house otherwise yes of course they will always be there and jump back on just common sense . Perhaps combo of vacuuming/flea bombing / rid of old bedding Show details

Excellent – This is the first time I bought this product, was previously using some local product. Seems it worked and can't find Cathy reacted negatively to the application. Wish to continue seeing the results. Show details

DEATH SEIZURES VOMITING MANY MANY COMPLAINTS – Vomiting diarrhoea lethargic not her self My dog was extremely sick from this product since looking into flea treatments I have found hundreds of distraught pet owners that have the same symptoms but even worse Their pets have died !! I complained to the company BAYER BAYER who make toxic pesticides and was told that , the product won’t be… Read more

recalled or removed even tho they have had heaps of complaints . Please spread the word on these toxic poisons , that we are told are safe and risk free. Look into the chemicals that are in these products . NEVER ASSUME ITS SAFE AND NEVER TAKE SOMEONE ELSES WORD AS TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE

Original was better – Personally I found that the frontline original was a lot better and was cheaper but without explanation it has become hard to find funny that think I will source some fibronil and make my own vets and dentists have taken the place of used car salesman as not being very trustworthy Show details

Useless against fleas in Australia – Spent $150 for weight specific dosing for my 3 dogs and another $100 for my 2 cats. Absolutely no effect whatsoever on fleas. Been applying religiously every 2 weeks without shampooing them and still absolutely zero effect.

How I wish I had read reviews before I bought – This was absolutely useless. Got extra large for my Lab Retriever but it has not worked. Shame on this company for ripping pet lovers off Show details

waste of money – I bought a 6 pack for my 2 small dogs, first treatment did nothing, after a week I tried another dose, did nothing, then I tried the last tube and still, it did nothing my dogs still had fleas, this product used to be very good, I think it's just filled with water nowadays, never waste money on it again. Show details

Do not trust for paralysis ticks – Applied this product religiously every 2weeks as per instructions for paralysis ticks. Last applied 16/9 25/9 found paralysis tick very much alive on my dog with dog having symptoms of tick paralysis Raced dog to vet who did everything they possibly could but my dog died 3 days later. Do not trust this product. Show details

Worst ever flea treatment – Productreview states to to be factual when leaving a review. Well here's the facts...this product does not work. Put it on my dog, disposed of all the dog bedding and and after 3 days still finding fleas. Worst ever treatment. This product is not cheap and is a complete waste of money. Why didn't I check out the reviews before buying, 122 + of 1 star reviews says it all. Show details

Absolutely disgraceful treatment and complete waste of money. DOES NOT WORK !!!! – Absolutely disgraceful product. Do not waste your money on this product, absolute rubbish. We have tried a number of times now and each time the fleas are still running a muck. Does not work one bit. Show details

Worst flea treatment ever. Dont waste your money – Gave this product to both my dogs and a cat to kill fleas. Fleas are now everywhere it has not worked at all. Out of pocket $200 dont use it , it doesnt work. Now spending another $200 on another product. Show details

Can kill ticks but Absolutely no use to kill fleas! – I have 2 dogs, 20 kg and 40kg, and 2 indoor cats. I bought 4 boxes size/animal specific frontline plus to treat all of pets. Cost me a fortune and see absolutely no effect on fleas! The ticks on my dogs did die, but still find live fleas on all my pets after 24 hours and 3 weeks. I ended up bought a flea comb to combat the fleas and used insect bomb to treat the environment. Show details

Lemon!! Do not buy this - you have been warned - over a hundred one star reviews can't be wrong!! – If you are about to buy this product - Stop!! Do not buy this. No other industry could get away with this. . I bought this product only on the recommendation of my local petshop. I was going to buy flea powder. If you want my quick recommendation I would : 1. BUY A FLEA POWDER -do some research here first on Product Review. At least they actually… Read more

kill or deter the adult fleas (one part of the flea cycle). I chose Pestene which I am very happy with - it's more natural; but for bad infestations maybe go a more chemically based flea powder. This kills only adults but is better than Frontline Plus doing nothing. 2. Use a flea comb daily if your dog's fur is not too long and thick 3. Vacuum and wash dogs bedding regularly 4. If fleas are really bad, maybe you will need to flea bomb the house. 5. Maybe investigate an alternative dab on product but read recent reviews first! Frontline Plus (FP) does NOTHING. The adult fleas were having a party on my dog. I left it for 3 days after applying and they were having a ball. It is only that I started checking after day 3 (presuming there would be no adult fleas on my dog), that I saw they were still there. Every day I would use the flea comb and get on average 5 fleas or more without much effort (one day I got almost 20 by flea combing) (flea levels are not huge at my house but could easily have got out of control if I had continued only with Frontline Plus and not the flea comb consistently). I spoke to the pet shop supplier and later the distributor and they said something like that "I needed to keep the dog on it longer" and then in response to me telling them about all the negative reviews "oh that's because the dog has been on it too long and the product may not work effectively by then" .. I said "no there's several reports of the dogs being on it for 3 months (the perfect in between point for maximum effectiveness" and the product still not doing anything. For 2 weeks straight I was pulling off several fleas a day. Finally after 2 weeks and reading up from others that longer stints do nothing either I put Pestene Insect Powder on my dog, which had been recommended by a friend. In the following 2 weeks I only found 2 fleas - not daily but in the whole fortnight! and the 2 that I found were much slower (and probably affected negatively by the powder). If you are desperate I would get a more chemically based flea powder. This kills all adult fleas generally (Frontline Plus does nothing to stop adult fleas as stated above. In fact the FP distributor's response was "Fipronil kills fleas by overstimulating their nervous systems, so disorientated hyperexcited fleas can rise to the surface of the pet's coat and become more visible." Is this to cover themselves for the fleas being as fast as ever and not dying? They have an answer for pretty much everything. But most of their answers don't ring true to me. My dog had a number one shave as I was desperate to get rid of its fleas. so there was no rising to the surface. They were on the surface and visible regardless. FP does NOT kill any adult fleas in my experience. Don't waste your money. See my question and answer regarding getting your money back (easier if you have bought from a pet shop). When I bought the flea powder at a DIFFERENT FANTASTIC stock food shop - Sanders, Gawler - they were brilliant. They said "we stopped stocking Frontline Plus because the vast majority of our customers were telling us that their experience with Frontline Plus was that it didn't work". Frontline argues that it stops all stages of the flea cycle. I DON'T believe from my experience and others reviews that it stops ANY stage of the cycle.

Horrible product – Unfortunately I'll have to join to all the negative reviews below. A week ago i treated my husky against flees using that Frontline PLUS for Large Dogs. Still crowds of flees in his hair! No sign of cleaning. I feel like even the flees population started to be increased after treatment. Horrible! I am so disappointed - it doesn't work at all. Will go to buy another product. Bye bye Frontline FOREVER!!!! Show details

Waste of money!!! – I bought frontline plus for my toy poodles, 24 hrs later and we still have fleas!! Is this a joke how can this product be still on the market?? I wish I had read all the NEGATIVE reviews before I purchased it!! Show details

Don't waste your money on this – I've been applying this every 2 weeks. It says apply once a month for flea control. I got the 40-60kg stuff for my Labrador, and the 0-10kg stuff for my Jack Russell. It is totally useless. Both dogs still have fleas. Don't waste your money on this. Show details

This Dog Poison should be taken off the Market – The day after applying this to my dog, she has become very lethargic, she's not eating and barely drinking, she's very shaky on her legs when she does move and I'm terrified, it's now 5.48am I haven't slept and am waiting for the vet to open at 8am so I can get her in there as quickly as possible. She was perfectly healthy until I applied this… Read more

product, I have searched her systems online and found that this product is known to cause this symptoms, it's a disgrace.

This dog poison should be taken off the market

Terrible product doesn't work at all – 2 days after using the product and the dog still had fleas, tried using every 2 weeks for 3 months and still no improvement and lots of adult fleas. Don't waste your money on this! Show details

Brilliant – This is a great product that was recommended to us. It works perfectly, our dog has never had a flea or a tick. Ever. You have to put it in a place the dog can't reach, like the back of his head and part the fur so that it is on his skin. Then keep dog dry for 24 hours. I will only use this after having adverse reactions to a few alternatives, one being Bravecto.

Works really well for my dogs – I have been using this product on my three Long Coat Chihuahua since it came out. Dogs now 18yrs, 16yrs, 14yrs old. Have lived in Para tick Zones and never had fleas, ticks or problems. Too afraid to use anything stronger on them at their ripe old ages.

Beware this is a rip off – I brought frontline plus for my dog. 8-17-18. He goes to pet smart every 3 weeks for a bath and the girl called and said he have fleas bad. I said no he uses frontline plus. She told me its not working. Got him home a couple of days later I saw fleas like crazy! Upset at this point I spent 47.00 for this mess and it don't work. I want a refund and… Read more

he is due for another dose on 9-17-18. I have to now have my yard and house treated. I truly got it because dogs were coming in my yard and he is a house dog. I would not recommend this product to anyone. A total rip off!

They should test it on themselves – I treated my large dog with frontline plus. He is crying constantly, in intense pain and has stopped eating and nothing I can do about it. I am thinking about putting him out of his misery as obviously suffering badly. He was a very robust and pain tolerant dog as he has had numerous bad injuries from fighting and got bitten by a crocodile. Even… Read more

allowed me to stitch him up and administer injections afterwards. Never seen anything like this. He won’t crap in the yard and had to go and carry him home as heard him hollering.

I am surprised if there hasn’t been a court case regarding these adverse reactions from the product.

Distressed and annoyed!!!

Get rid of this product. Useless! – I treated my medium size dog with this product 4 days ago.. today i found on him 6 large adult ticks and small ones.. whàt is this? Water? Please get rid of your product from the shelf! I've been using this brand and its USELESS! What a shame... and its too expensive! 6 vials for $66.00.

Waste of Money – 2nd year running i have used this product..have spent around 4 to $500 on this product over the flea seasons..its usless may as well just put water on their backs..My dogs are scratching and im still finding fleas 3 days after treatment..treat again but still with the same result..i have 2 small dogs but product only has 3 applications so i need… Read more
