Don't buy Frontline for Dogs with flea treatment. It causes Idiopathic Vestibula episodes costing a fortune in vet fees and medication to help relieve symptoms. Waste of money causing so much stress in my pooch and myself. Frontline with flea protection should be taken off the market. 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

This is basically water – I have used this product TWICE (second application was done 2 days after initial treatment as I did not notice any difference). No effect on minimising/getting rid of the fleas for my small dog. I now have to consider other treatment. What a waste of MONEY!! I wished I have read all of the reviews before buying this useless product!

Waste of money – This has had no effect on getting rid of fleas on my dog what so ever. It was easy to apply & didn't bother my dog but would have been good if it worked. Total waste of money. Will never buy this again, so not only am I out of pocket for buying it I've now got to find another product that hopefully does what it says it will do.

Not the Product it Was – This product no longer provides the protection it promised. I have a lap dog who is inspected constantly and despite meticulous application and observing the doseage directions, she has fleas. Consequently, I am in the process of looking for an alternative treatment.

Complete rip-off – I treated my dog 3 days ago with Frontline Plus. Fast acting it says. I have seen ZERO difference since being treated. Fleas still there. Can’t get hold of anyone in the “service department” and the pet store I bought the product from won’t accept returns/refunds.

Rip Off! Can't Even Contact The Sharks!! – Cats rip off! £45 for 2 months treatment and I'm having to purchase another brand. I can't even get in contact with this company to request a refund! I have had cats for years and always keep on top of treatments, thought I try Frontline and now I've got a nightmare on my hands with 6 cats that now have fleas!!!

No longer works for fleas – I've used this product for many years but I no longer find it works. Treated the dog and a week later he's covered in fleas again. I haven't done anything differently than in the past either. It used to keep them flea free for a month but not anymore. I switched to a different brand, edible chew type treatment and I'm much happier with the results. At $75 for the box of 3 I would have expected a lot more from this product.

Beware! – Beware! Do not use on small, older, sensitive dogs. Nearly killed her. She screamed, seizured and then violently vomited. Do not risk it! We thought she was going to die. No warnings on packet!

Followed treatment and completely failed! Very disappointed – My dog had fleas, after getting rid of them we tried to prevent them from jumping on my dog again so we followed the monthly treatment for six months not missing one and my dog got fleas again!! I had to get rid of a year worth of treatment and start with a different product all over again. Aweful
