I gave my cats frontline flea medicine (the kind where you use a syringe and squirt the medicine on the back of the neck) on April 7th and I noticed today that they still have fleas, and I gave them another dose today (April 11th). I know I was suppose to wait a month but they still have fleas.
Is it safe to put Frontline Plus on cats?
Yes, it’s safe. Frontline is non-toxic. I find Revolution is the flea treatment that lasts the longest. I have this same problem. I put Frontline Plus on my two cats 3 weeks ago, and they are both scratching and I see fleas on them. I have a hard time getting the Frontline on them, especially Lily, because her hair is so long.
Can I reapply frontline any quicker than 30 days?
I don’t see why a few days early would hurt any but I will say what I was first going to say, best to ask a vet. You could, before applying the second dosage, give your cat a bath using Dawn Dish soap and a flea comb. Sit and pick as many off as you can. Then when the cat dries and stops grooming itself, apply the flea meds.
Can you put frontline in the carpet too?
You can put it in your carpets too. However, are you treating the house too? If you don’t wash everything as often as you can your cat may just be getting reinfected all the time and not still have fleas, in which case the frontline is working but there are new ones all over the place anyway.
