Indications

To treat and prevent flea and tick infestations in cats. To control infestations with biting lice (Felicola subrostratus) in cats.

Administration and Dosage

Dosage: Apply 1 pipette of 0.5 ml per cat.

How to apply:

• 1. Hold the pipette upright and tap the neck to ensure the contents are in the main body of the pipette. Then break the snap-off top along the scored line.
• 2. Part your cat's coat between the shoulder blades until you can see their skin.
• 3. Place the tip of the pipette against the skin and squeeze gently to empty the contents directly onto the skin. Apply the contents at 2 points, one at the base of the skull and a second 2-3 cm further back.

Take care to ensure that the product is applied directly to the skin and not squeezed on to the hair, as this will cause a sticky appearance of hairs at the treatment spot. Should this occur however, it will disappear within 24 hours after you have applied the product.

Do not treat your cat more frequently than every 4 weeks.

Further Information

FRONTLINE Spot On Cat kills fleas for up to 5 weeks, depending on the number of fleas in your cat's environment. Newly arriving fleas are killed within 24 hours of landing on your pet.

FRONTLINE Spot On Cat prevents re-infestation of ticks (Rhipicephalus spp, Dermacentor spp and Ixodes spp) for up to one month depending on the number of ticks in your cat's environment.

Single ticks may still become attached to your cat and therefore transmission of infectious diseases cannot be ruled out.

When treating infestations of lice, all in-contact cats should be treated with an appropriate product at the same time.

For optimum control of flea problems in a multi-pet household, all dogs and cats in the household should be treated with a suitable flea treatment.

Fleas from pets infest the animal's basket, bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets and soft furnishings. It is recommended that these areas should be treated with a suitable household flea treatment and vacuumed regularly.

After applying FRONTLINE Spot On Cat as directed, the product will spread from the site of treatment to cover the entire surface of the animal within 24 hours. The amount of product absorbed into your cat's blood after applying the product is very small.

There are no data to show how bathing/ shampooing may affect the effectiveness of the product in cats, however, based on information available for dogs, it is recommended that you do not bath your cat within 2 days after application of the product.
