It can happen. Fleas and ticks can silently invite themselves onto your pet and into your home. These pests then harm your pet and make your home, well… less comfortable.
Diseases caused by ticks
Ticks must be taken seriously.
Ticks can transmit diseases that actually threaten your pet's life. FRONTLINE is an important defense against ticks. Lyme disease, probably the best known tick disease, can be treated well with antibiotics if diagnosed. Other tick related diseases are more dangerous. Contact your veterinarian if you notice any of these symptoms:
FRONTLINE Plus can help. FRONTLINE Plus kills fleas and ticks on your dog or cat and prevents re-infestation.
Because ticks can be dangerous, it's a good idea to check your pet thoroughly every day. Build it into your regular routine. Look for ticks as you brush, pet and play with your cat or dog.
Examine as much of your pet's body as possible paying particular attention to the head, neck and paws because that's where ticks prefer to attach themselves.
You may feel a tick bump before you see the tick. Contact your vet immediately if you believe your pet has a tick. If you remove a tick, do so slowly using tweezers (never use your hands), save it in a bottle and bring it to your vet so that they can determine the species.
Understanding the life cycle of ticks will help you put up a stronger defense.
Egg stage:
Female ticks lay 100 to 6,000 eggs at a time (depending on species) in secluded areas of dense vegetation. Eggs hatch in about 2 weeks.
Larval stage:
After hatching, larvae search for their first blood meal. This could be on you or your pet. They latch on, feed on blood and then drop back into the environment.
Nymphal stage:
After feeding on their first blood meal, larvae molt into a nymph and search for another host. Nymphs are difficult to detect, increasing the chance of disease transmission.
Adult stage:
Nymphs feed then molt into adults. Adult females feeding on a host can grow up to 100 times their original weight. The female will then fall off and lay eggs – beginning the cycle again.

What is Frontline Plus?
Frontline Plus is a monthly topical flea and tick preventative for dogs and cats. Frontline Plus kills 100% of adult fleas on your pet within 18 hours and 100% of all ticks within 48 hours.

It’s effective against all stages of the brown dog tick, the American dog tick, the lone star tick and the deer tick (the major carrier of Lyme disease). (3 Pack = 3 doses which lasts 3 months
How it works:
Frontline Plus contains fipronil, a broad-spectrum insecticide and slow-acting poison that disrupts the central nervous system of fleas and ticks and S-Methoprene, an insect growth regulator that kills flea eggs and larvae. The active ingredients are stored in the sebaceous glands and are wicked out of the hair follicles and continuously re-applied to the coat for long-lasting, waterproof protection.
Cautions:
Your pet may experience some temporary irritation at the site of application. If signs persist or become more severe within a few days of application, consult your veterinarian immediately.
