Cons: Hair around area of treatment remains oily for a few days.

Cons: Drips down the dog's back when applying

Pros: It's really easy to apply, and it does work.
Cons: It does nothing to prevent ticks from latching on to your dog!

every time we...

Pros: Quick and effective. Safe
Cons: Pricey

It was the summer of '97. I was not only a brand new puppy owner but a first time dog owner. My poor baby was scratching from fleas, and I had no idea what to do. I tried a couple of things from the pet store, as well as a flea dip from the groomer....

Cons: only last 1 month in cats, only 3 applications makes it more expensive than Advantage

Cons: a bit on the expensive side, disappointing long term effects

Cons: A little expensive, but worth the money!

Cons: It is still an insecticide

Cons: Expensive, but cheaper than fleas!

I am the owner of four pets, an 8 year old mixed breed, 2 English Mastiffs and 1 cat. In case you are unfamiliar with the mastiff breed, they are a very large dog. So, if we get fleas, we get a lot of them!

Our cat lives inside the house and...

Cons: None that I know of

Cons: High price, available mostly through vets

Pros: It works!
Cons: It's costly, but it's worth it!

Pros: Works very effectively
Cons: Must purchase from Veterinarian/convenience

Cons: It costs a lot and you need to get it from the vet

Cons: Can get expensive.

Pros: Kills Fleas.
Cons: Hard to apply.

I will agree that this product is the best flea product that I have used, but you would think that for the price ( a handsome $15.00 per application) it would have more ease of use. I have a 1 year old AKC Cocker Spaniel who is an inside dog. When ...

Cons: Fleas, fleas, and more fleas! It doesn't work!

Pros: It's easy & it works!!
Cons: Packaging is hard to open

Cons: Can get $$$ year-round, difficult to apply with thick fur, might rub off some

Cons: expensive, oily, hard to apply it on one spot

Cons: Easy to forget to use regularly.

I am not going to go over the basics of Frontline, because that is well-covered in other reviews. I use dog as a generic to mean a dog or cat. I figured no one wanted to read "your dog and/or cat" 20 times. How easy is it to use, and what do I ...

Pros: Very effective, easy to use, use only monthly
Cons: none

I have used Frontline and Advantage on both my dogs and my cats (young and old). As an experienced breeder and exhibitor at dog shows, I can highly recommend Frontline as the best!

Cons: Spot treatment causes problems if kids pet the animal in that area.

Pros: Kills the fleas, easy to apply
Cons: Smells bad, causes mats in my cat's hair

Cons: In this circumstance, the fleas disappeared really quickly.

Cons: Have to separate dogs

This product was a life saver for my two Jack Russell Terriers. We live in a very wooded area and my pups take many walks out into the woods behind our house. They also had a tendency to bring back some ticks on these walks, usually two ticks a...

Pros: No more fleas
Cons: Can't buy over the counter.

I knew it was officially summer when my hubby set up a loud stream of complaints--the fleas were in the house again. Of course, sitting with a cat in his lap didn't help to keep fleas from leaping on him. But I must admit, they were a definite...

Pros: easy, safe, effective
Cons: price, but worth it.

I've been using this stuff for over a year on both my heeler and German Shepherd. Both of these dogs had major resident flea populations when I acquired them, respectively. Very shortly after initiation of Frontline was the last flea I ever saw. It's...

Cons: kept the fleas on the dogs.

This stuff can't decide if it wants to be good or not! We started using front line for my german shepards, Conan and Lexi before we moved into our new house; we didn't want fleas in this one! It's easy enough to apply, you put it between their shoulder...

Cons: must be purchased at vet

Pros: Absolutely effective
Cons: Comparatively expensive

I've been using frontline for a couple years. I call tell when it stops working, and so can my dog. The usually hyper 15 pound dog known as Lucky, sits calmly letting me put the medicine on. I'm no Dr. Doolittle, but I get the message loud and clear.
...

Pros: good for combatting fleas
Cons: irritant to humans

I started using frontline for my new kitten because I had used Program for my old cat, but could never get him to eat it in his food. I thought something to put directly onto the skin would be better.

If it weren't for Frontline, my house would be covered up in fleas.

Cons: just doesn't work.

Okay. I have two dogs. Both are mutts. Both have fleas. After going through numerous other products that didn't work I stumbled upon this one. Top Spot is a liquid that you apply at the base of the dog's shoulders and tail. I don't understand how it is...

Cons: price, available only at vets

I have tried many brands of spot flea control. Frontline works the best for my cats. This brand only has to be put on the cats, on the skin at the base of the neck. It is a once a month treatment, and doesn't bother the cat at all. It kills the fleas...

Pros: Easy to use and only once a month
Cons: none

I have tried all of the other spot treatments, and by far this is the best on the market. It is so easy to use. Each treatment comes in individual doses. All you do is break open the package and apply it between the shoulder blades. Just ask my Shih Tzu...

Pros: This product does the job.
Cons: It can be expensive.

Before there was Front line Top spot Little Bit always had fleas. This has been the only product I have used on our dog that has worked. Little Bit is happier because he's not scratching all the time. You give your dog a bath and put this on him and...

Pros: easy application
Cons: could also add heartworm prevention medication

My parents live in the south and I do not think my dog would survive without Frontline. However, I wish Frontline was available in Canada because I want my own dog to be on this product. Since I visit my parents very often with my dog I want him to be...

Pros: Does not harm skin and very effective
Cons: A bit more costly

Pros: pre-measured, easy to use, and works.
Cons: none

Pros: really works
Cons: price

As long as I have owned dogs, I can allways remeber using frontline. Seeing my mom hold the dogs and the cats down while she puts on the once a mont treatment. I have also very rarley seen my pets scratch for fleas or ticks. This product has got to be...

Pros: easy
Cons: only available in vet's office

Before my vet suggested Frontline to my two dogs, I was covered with flea bites. My dogs love to sleep with me and bed and I just couldn't tell them no. So night and day I suffered through the red, itchy marks until my friends, tired of seeing me...

Pros: Kills Ticks and Fleas
Cons: Can be expensive

Frontline is a wonderful product. Not only does it work for fleas, (and sometimes for more than 30 days) but it also kills ticks. This is a must with 2 70 lbs. dogs who have the run of five acres in the Florida woods and sand.

I use...

Pros: Doesn't wash off a swimming dog
Cons: A bit greasy for a day or so

Frontline Top Spot is highly recommended by most veterinarians. It is very simple to apply and is also very, very safe.
It works so well even on dogs that like to swim daily. After 48 hrs. it does not wear off! I have used Advantage and Program and...

Pros: Easy to use and lasts a long time
Cons: None

This is a great flee and tick repelent. This product is extremely easy to use. All one needs to do is open the package and drip its contents on the back of your pet. The dog must stay dry for a few hours so it doesn't come off. The repelent lasts up...

Pros: Used properly, IT WORKS!
Cons: Some dogs might be allergic, etc... Talk with your vet!

As a professional petsitter and certified dog trainer, I recommend Frontline constantly. It works best when the dog has not just been bathed, as the natural oils in the coat are important to spread this product from hair follicle to hair follicle. I just wish this product had been invented back when I was breeding/showing, and had more pooches. SOOOO much easier and safer than those awful dips! We don't even have to treat the yard anymore, so are cutting expenses there, as well as using fewer chemicals.

Pros: Works fast and is water-proof!
Cons: Leaves an oily spot where it is applied.

This product is a little pricier than other brands, but it works. I use it once a month on my Maltese, and she never gets fleas, even after being around other dogs with them. I love this product because it does not wash off with water. That means that you can bathe your pet, and not worry about the product's effectiveness. It also causes no irritation to my pet's skin.

Pros: Frontline works...
Cons: but Frontline doesn't continue working. 3 months?? Baloney.

I used Frontline TopSpot on my 3 small dogs for years, and it worked fine. Two yrs ago it started working for only 3 wks at a time. Now it's down to 2 wks. I even switched to the more expensive "Plus". The company insists my house or yard must be infested. This is positively not so.

Pros: highly effective, easy to apply, no strong smells
Cons: none

I have used many different products, from topical to sprays to powders and nothing comes close to Frontline Plus on how effective it is!
I like the fact that not only does it kill the adult fleas, it also kills the larvae and eggs.
NicoleG @ VetReviewsOnline.com

Pros: easy to use, no mess, gets rid of the fleas.
Cons: none

i have a dog that is allergic to fleas. i have use all sorts of flea medicines on her. but front line is the only one that works the best. it easy to put on and the fleas stay away for weeks. i use it on all of our dogs.

Pros: easy to apply VERY effective
Cons: first 24 Hrs pet will scratch insanely as fleas react to the medicine

Well I won't go on about how well this stuff works
however you should know that for like the first 24 hrs after applying it the fleas will go NUTS in your pets coat
driving him nuts too I thought this was an allergic reaction but after 24 hrs the pet calms down and you just have to pick the dead fleas out of their coat.

Pros: Works on most animals
Cons: Burned one of my two dogs very badly.

I will NEVER use Frontline on one of my dogs again. I have 2 dogs, I put this product on both of them a few days ago. One dog is fine, but the other got SEVERE chemical burns from this. She is in a lot of pain and she's got blisters like crazy, which are now starting to ooze. I am taking her to the vet this afternoon. Some dogs just seem to have a reaction while others don't. I will never again use it on her. Please be careful and watch any new animal you try this on.

Pros: Perhaps it works on some dogs.
Cons: Frontline does not last the 30 days it claims to act.

The vets here in Hampton Roads that I have been to seem to prefer Frontline to Advantage but even the vet tells me that Frontline is not as good as Advantage for fleas but that I need Frontline for ticks. Frontline does not work for my dog. He is allergic to flea bites so it doesn't help that the flea dies AFTER it bites him. He is tearing out his hair due to flea bites. Recently, just three weeks after applying Frontline I noticed an infestation of fleas on him. I'm going back to Advantage. I can not bear to see my dog tearing out his hair in his misery. I'll pick the ticks off him myself if I have to.
