What is Frontpro for very small dogs?
Small dogs deserve optimum protection against fleas and ticks, and Frontpro beef-flavored tablets are here to meet that need. Discover how these palatable tablets make life easier for your small dog by eliminating parasites quickly and effectively, while providing long-lasting protection.
Frontpro beef-flavored tablets work quickly to eliminate and kill all fleas, whether Ctenocephalides felis (cat fleas) or Ctenocephalides canis (dog fleas). Within just 24 hours of administration, these tablets act on the fleas' nervous system, preventing them from reproducing and proliferating in your dog's coat.
What's more, ticks don't stand a chance against Frontpro. In just 48 hours, this treatment eliminates ticks, including Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes ricinus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus, which can cause serious health problems for your small dog.
Frontpro contains afoxolaner, an insecticide and acaricide from the isoxazoline family. This powerful ingredient provides continuous protection for 30 days. So your small dog, weighing between 2 and 4 kg, will remain free of parasites throughout the month.
One of the major advantages of Frontpro is its ease of administration. The tablets can be mixed with your small dog's food, greatly simplifying the process. What's more, unlike many other anti-parasite treatments, Frontpro allows your dog to be bathed or washed after administration, without compromising its efficacy.
Frontpro not only eliminates fleas and ticks, it can also be part of a treatment strategy to control flea-bite allergy dermatitis (FBAD). By helping to prevent flea bites, this treatment helps reduce the risk of allergic skin reactions in your small dog, improving his quality of life.
