Frontline Plus Review

I agree with you on Frontline not working. This is the 3rd time I've used the product since it came out. The first time, it worked great and I used on my house only cat, just as needed. The last two times, seems like the product is different and doesn't work anymore.

I called entirelypets for a refund and was told too bad, because, "the product has been used", (I bought a 3 mo supply and have 2 left). I called Frontline and because it wasn't purchased from them, they couldn't do anything for me. But, I could call back after I've used the product for 3 months and ask again, (like I'm going to let my pet suffer from fleas that long - idiots).

Good luck getting a refund. Frontline, "Only sells to vets" and the other distributors say to contact Frontline....so I doubt I'll be getting the "Guarantee" stated on the box from anyone. It may cost more getting product from your vet, but at least you have a chance at getting something that works or, your money back. Well, on my way to see the vet for a treatment option...that isn't Frontline.

Frontline is a terrible product. I adopted a puppy from a local shelter and my house was instantly infested with fleas and ticks. I sprayed the house and yards many times, washed all bedding, bathed the puppy in a flea shampoo three times a week. Then put Frontline Plus on her. Within a week I was finding dozens of LIVE ticks crawling on her and LIVE fleas. I did another bath and another dose of Frontline Plus. (2 applications in 30 days.) It is now 2 weeks later and I just picked 3 LIVE ticks off her.

What a joke. Frontline doesn't repel. Doesn't kill. Doesn't do anything but drain my bank account.

My dog "Lady" , has been on frontline plus for 6 months , she has no fleas or ticks but her skin is dry, scaley, itchy, constantly scratching until she bleeds. It is so bad that she is had a spot on her back that has no hair and now is getting bigger and bigger. I went to the vet but they said keep her on it and let them know if it get worst. By then she might be bald.....My dog is miserable! What did you have to do?

I agree. Frontline did not work on my dog. He was very uncomfortable. I called Frontline, and was told to wait because the increased fleas on him was a sign that it was working. This was a lie! So, my dog is not flea free. I am allergic to flea bites, so have had to suffer through the itching as well. Frontline sucks! I will never buy it again!

Frontline Plus is worthless. Mom called the customer service number on the box and received a canned answer from their representative. FRONTLINE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET. It is expensive and DOES NOT CONTROL FLEAS as promised. Using any pesticide product is a benefit vs. risk decision. This product has no benefits.

Imagine how poorly it works for a dog who is 160lbs....I paid a fortune for the proper dosing for my IW and don't think that it was effective for more than a few days, but because the chemicals are absorbed into the dog, you don't dare use more or anything else for the full thirty days to prevent a possible toxic build up in the tissues. I had to watch my guy bite, scratch, and chew for three weeks-the best I could do was soothing baths with a tea tree oil shampoo-and he isn't thrilled with bathing, and at 160 lbs neither am I thrilled with having to drag him into the tub.

I have a cat who received a FrontlinePlus treatment every year and seemed to be doing well. We knew he had an allergy and was treating him for that thinking that we did not have a flea problem. Well, this year he has been itching and losing hair and bleeding. He has been suffering terribly. I will be trying Advantage because i cannot stand to see him so miserable. Each time I brought him to the vet, she would tell me that he did not have fleas...that was in January by April he was loaded! I was going to write to the Frontline folks to let them know, but I am glad that I read this review. I will be purchasing Advantage from now on. Thanks, Patty. Connie

sounds like mickey might also be allergic to an ingredient of the frontline. one of our dogs -- the one with the food allergies -- was also EXTREMELY reactive to the "plus" formula; even on antihistamines, the poor guy was scratching himself bloody until it finally cleared his system. our other two dogs, however, have done more than fine with the frontline plus.

i think the frontline plus is a great product that offers the broadest-spectrum coverage against fleas and ticks; it's an excellent choice if your dog can tolerate it. for the dogs that can't (like mickey and our fargus), i'm glad there are other safe options available.

That's too bad. Hanna's done great with this. She's smaller - not sure if that makes a difference. jo
