It sounds concerning that you are still finding fleas on your pets after using Frontline. Let's explore some important steps to ensure the product is working effectively and consider if alternative treatments might be needed.
- Ensure Frontline is applied correctly to both the dog and cat.
- Check your home environment and furnishings for fleas.
- Understand that it may take time to completely clear a flea infestation.
Using flea treatments like Frontline can sometimes lead to continued sightings of fleas if the application is not done correctly, or if the home environment is heavily infested. Make sure that you part the fur and apply the product directly to the skin, as it should be absorbed into your pet's system to be effective. Also, consider treating the home and any areas your pets frequent to eliminate fleas living in the environment. If there's still a persistent issue, it might be time to explore alternative treatments, but always consult with a vet before switching products.
