Yes, all dogs and cats in the household should be treated with FRONTLINE PLUS or FRONTLINE SPRAY at the same time to resolve flea infestations and household contamination. If even a single pet is left untreated, fleas on that pet could deposit viable flea eggs into your home environment. These eggs will develop into adult fleas and can re-infest all your pets.

FRONTLINE PLUS contains two active ingredients to break the flea life cycle at every stage. One ingredient kills the adult fleas on your pet. The other ingredient stops fertile eggs being laid and prevents larval and pupal development, preventing re-infestation of your pet and contamination of your home.

No. FRONTLINE PLUS is a flea treatment that affects fleas when they are exposed to the active ingredients on your pet's coat.

FRONTLINE PLUS is a flea treatment for dogs and cats that will spread over the coat of your pet within 24 hours and continue to be effective against fleas for one month. Any fleas that jump on to your treated pet will be rapidly killed. But adult fleas on your pet are only 5% of the total flea problem. The other 95% are the eggs, larvae and pupae in the environment waiting to hatch and jump on to your pets. If these are not addressed, your pet may continue to be re-infested.  

The best way to kill fleas is to break the flea cycle. By applying a flea treatment such as FRONTLINE PLUS every month you will deplete the flea population over time and protect your home environment.
