Directions for use:
Follow these instructions to apply FRONTLINE Plus for cats.
To apply, simply follow these instructions–and repeat every 30 days:
- Remove Applicator: Lift and remove the plastic tab to expose foil backing. Then peel away the foil. Or use scissors to open
- Open Applicator: Hold upright with foil side toward you and snap applicator tip
- Apply FRONTLINE Plus: Part your cat's hair between the shoulder blades. Place the applicator tip just above the skin and squeeze. Apply entire contents of the applicator in a single spot directly onto the animal's skin. Do not apply on top of the haircoat. Avoid contact with treated area until dry.
Here are some additional tips:
- Remove the cat's collar
- Apply as a spot between your cat's shoulder blades in 1 area that can't be licked
- Avoid touching the wet application spot
- Wait 24 hours to allow solution to dry before bathing or letting your cat get wet
- Give each of your cats its own complete dose

"Very impressed!!! "
Posted byTraceyon19th May 2026We've been using another brand for our three cats, one that was 'advertised' to last 3 months per dose. Wrong. Didn't even last two months and the fleas were back. Decided to try Frontline instead. Yes, it's more expensive but so far for good, although it hasn't been a month yet. Postage was super fast, ordered it in the afternoon, arrived the next morning. Thank you
"Treatment. "
Posted byDavineon10th Mar 2026Never had a problem with this stuff
"Worked surprisingly fast"
Posted byCaseyon1st Dec 2025Seen a few people lately having bald patches on their cats from other brands so was a tad concerned. One of our cats had a huge amount and had been combed daily which had little effect. Gave her 2 days after I put the treatment on her before combing again and couldn’t find any!

"Awful product and doesn't work "
Posted byTron11th May 2025Both my cats are still full of fleas and I cannot get them out!!!! Have used product for 3 months and has made 0 difference to the quantity of fleas. The product makes them more active and I can see them walking through their fur and bothering both my poor pets.
