Boehringer Ingelheim Frontline Plus Tick & Flea Spot On for Medium Dogs (10kg to 20kg)

Product Description

Frontline Plus Spot-On for Medium Dogs (10kg-20kg) - Month-Long Tick and Flea Protection Your Dog Can Count On

If you have a medium-sized dog in India - a Beagle, an Indian Pariah, a Cocker Spaniel, or a Lab who hasn't quite hit their full adult weight yet - you already know that ticks and fleas are not just a monsoon problem. They're a year-round reality. Indian brown dog ticks in particular are stubborn, persistent, and genuinely dangerous - they can transmit diseases like Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, all of which can be life-threatening if not caught in time. And fleas? Beyond the misery of constant itching, they're one of the primary carriers of tapeworms.

The good news is that one of the most trusted names in tick and flea prevention globally has been available in India for decades, and it works. Frontline Plus spot-on is the product millions of pet parents and vets worldwide reach for first - and for good reason.

FAQs

Which dog breeds typically fall into the 10-20kg (medium) weight category for Frontline Plus?

Common medium-sized Indian breeds and mixes in this weight range include Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, Indian Pariah Dogs (INDogs), Miniature Schnauzers, Whippets, and Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers during their puppy growth phase. Always weigh your dog before each application rather than going by breed alone - especially for growing pups whose weight can change significantly month to month.

How quickly does Frontline Plus start working after application?

Fipronil begins killing fleas within 24 hours of application and ticks within 48 hours. Fleas typically rise to the surface of the coat as they die, so seeing more fleas than usual on your dog's coat in the first 24 hours after applying is actually a sign the product is working - not failing. The environmental flea population takes longer to reduce, typically up to 3 months of consistent monthly use to fully interrupt the life cycle.

Is Frontline Plus safe to use every month long-term?

Yes - Frontline Plus is designed for continuous monthly use and is considered safe for long-term administration in healthy adult dogs. The active

Safety Advice for Frontline Plus

What If You Miss a Monthly Application?

Frontline Plus works as a monthly preventive - the protection it provides begins to wane after 30 days. If you miss a scheduled application date, apply the next pipette as soon as you remember and restart your monthly schedule from that point. Do not apply two pipettes at once to make up for the gap. A week or two of reduced protection won't cause a crisis in most cases, but during peak tick season in India - particularly the months leading into and following the monsoon - a lapsed application can leave your dog vulnerable. Set a calendar reminder on the day you apply each pipette so the next dose never slips.

All Substitutes

Frontline Plus is one of the most trusted options in its category, but depending on your dog's lifestyle, your household's preference between topical and oral formats, and your vet's recommendation, here are comparable alternatives available on Supertails:

Frontline Plus' advantage within this group is its global track record, the dual-action flea life cycle control, and its topical format which suits dogs who resist oral tablets. If your dog swims or is bathed very frequently, consider discussing oral alternatives like NexGard or Bravecto with your vet - oral products are not affected by bathing frequency.

Ingredients

are stored in the skin's oil glands and released gradually; they do not accumulate in the body to dangerous levels at the recommended monthly dose. As with any veterinary product, use it exactly as directed and inform your vet if your dog is on any other medications.

Can I bathe my dog after applying Frontline Plus?

Avoid bathing your dog or allowing them to swim for at least 48 hours after application. The active ingredients spread via the skin's natural oil layer, and washing with shampoo in that window strips that oil layer before the product has fully distributed, reducing its effectiveness. After 48 hours, the product is considered water-resistant, though very frequent bathing (more than once a week) can shorten the effective protection window.

I still see ticks on my dog 2 days after applying Frontline Plus. Has it stopped working?

Not necessarily. Ticks need to come into contact with the treated skin and coat and then die. Ticks that have recently jumped onto your dog from the environment will still crawl through the treated coat and die - but this takes 24 to 48 hours from the moment of contact. If you are seeing live ticks more than 48-72 hours after application and across the full 4-week protection period, consult your vet - they may assess for environmental reinfestation factors or discuss whether an alternative product is more suitable for your specific tick species or location.

My dog swims almost every day. Will Frontline Plus still work?

Frontline Plus is water-resistant after 48 hours, but very frequent swimming or daily bathing can gradually reduce its effectiveness by stripping the oil layer that carries the active ingredients. If your dog is in water daily, your vet may recommend an oral tick prevention product like NexGard or Bravecto instead - oral products are unaffected by bathing and swimming frequency since the active ingredient works through the bloodstream rather than the skin.

I have cats at home. Can I use the same Frontline Plus pipette on my cat?

No - the dog formulations of Frontline Plus should never be used on cats. The dog version contains a higher concentration of (S)-Methoprene than the cat formulation, and cats are significantly more sensitive to certain compounds in the dog formula. Frontline Plus has a dedicated cat variant specifically formulated and dosed for cats. Use only the appropriate species-specific product.

My dog licked the application site. What should I do?

A small amount of contact with the mouth may cause brief hypersalivation or mild nausea. If your dog licked a significant amount of the freshly applied product, contact your vet as a precaution. To prevent this from happening, always apply between the shoulder blades - a point your dog cannot reach - and keep other pets away from the treated area for 24 hours, as they may attempt to groom the treated dog.

Do I need a prescription to buy Frontline Plus on Supertails?

Yes - Frontline Plus is a veterinary prescription product on Supertails. A licensed pharmacy partner handles dispensing, and a vet will verify your order after purchase. If you don't have an existing prescription, a Supertails vet can review your dog's details and provide one if appropriate via the online vet consultation service.

Can I use Frontline Plus on a pregnant or nursing dog?

Yes - Frontline Plus is considered safe for use in pregnant, lactating, and breeding dogs at the recommended dose. This is one of its practical advantages over some other antiparasitic products that carry restrictions during pregnancy. That said, as a standard precaution, always inform your vet that your dog is pregnant or nursing before starting or continuing any parasitic prevention treatment, so they can confirm the product is appropriate in the context of the dog's overall health.
