You may have inadvertently applied Frontline twice this month, and you are concerned about any potential risks to your dog. It's important to address any concerns related to the health and safety of your pet.
- Check for any signs of adverse reactions or overdose.
- Understand the potential side effects of over-application.
- Consult a vet if you notice unusual symptoms.
Applying a topical flea treatment like Frontline more than recommended can potentially result in skin irritation or other mild side effects, especially if it's repeated frequently. However, a single extra application is unlikely to cause severe harm or long-term effects. Watch your dog for any signs of discomfort or unusual behavior, such as vomiting, lethargy, or skin reactions. If you notice anything worrying, contact your veterinarian for advice on next steps.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
