Is it safe to use Frontline Plus on my six-month-old puppy?

I recently got some Frontline Plus to use on my puppy, who just turned six months old. I want to make sure I'm using a safe and appropriate flea treatment for a puppy of his age. Can you tell me if it's safe to apply this to him, or should I consider another option?
