Still have the Fleas.     On: 2008-11-25

I purchased this product on Amazon because I was told by everyone how great Frontline worked. Ha Ha! I put it on my dog to rid her of the few fleas she had. Well let me tell you, it did nothing. Someone from my local pet rescue told me it works for about 4 days. I even bought the plus which is supposed to work well beyond 30 days. Maybe its a new formula, or maybe the fleas have found an immunity, but I can tell you the product did nothing for my dog and her itching. I recommend you purchase a different product.
Effective and Easy!     On: 2008-11-23

A lot of bang for the buck. I recommend this for dogs who are often on walking or playing with other pups. Its easy to use and I havent had any fleas or ticks on my pet since using it.
Good price     On: 2008-11-16

Very good price. The store where I used to purchase this cheaply went out of business, so this was a very nice find.
Frontline is Amazing !!     On: 2008-11-11

I had never had a problem with fleas on my dog until I brought home two adorable kittens. I only saw a few fleas at first then within days I was fighting an uphill battle. I had bought flea shampoos, combs, washed and vacuumed everything in site and flea treatments for everyone that were on sale. BIG mistake!!

Though their numbers were down, the fleas were winning. I called my mother-in-law and she swore by Frontline. I searched all over and found the best price on Amazon.com. The day it came was a memorable day. It was the day the fleas left. Okay, it took a full 24 hours but I could tell by my animals behavior that it was working.

FRONTLINE ANYTIME!!!
Not what I hoped for!     On: 2008-11-10

I used the Frontline plus on my dog and it worked for about a week. The fleas returned and I was still seeing them in the house. I was so grossed out by the fleas. We had the carpets cleaned the day after we treated our dog. We ended up getting Advantix K9 from our vet and it has worked and we have not seen fleas in the house. I feel like I wasted money on this product.
Frontline saved us!     On: 2008-11-10

Our dog (and house and us) had fleas pretty bad before we figured out what was going on. Frontline was a huge help in getting rid of them!!
Frontline plus is the best     On: 2008-11-02

This was sent fast and was the least expensive of all the Frontline products for dogs I could find on Amazon
Frontline Plus     On: 2008-10-14

Received the product as expected, the same quality product that I would expect to receive if I had bought it from my local veterinarian, only a little cheaper :) Thank you.
What I received was as if I bought it at the pet store     On: 2008-10-10

I was initially frightful to buy from online but when I received the product I will now continue to save money using this site for my Frontline Plus.
Glad I Bought This Product On Amazon and Not Ebay!     On: 2008-10-08

I previously purchased a large container of Frontline Plus from an EBay reseller. Product came in a container that was different than my usual product container. I thought this was due to me getting large container and it was different than small one. I then used a measured amount for my small dog ( childrens medicine hypo 0.7 mil). Product did not do the job as my dog began getting fleas in about two weeks. This time I received a large container that was the same as small one only bigger from Amazon (glass flask type) same amount. Product appears to work fine. I can only assume ebay seller was selling old product that was no good (not expired). I now will only purchase this product on Amazon.
Effective but a bit expensive     On: 2008-09-30

Our 2 puppies got it this year and, as far as I can tell, they are bug-free so far. I cant say whether this is because of Frontline or because there are no fleas in surroundings but, until evidence to the contrary emerges, I will give Frontline the credit.

The makers claim that Frontline Plus kills all fleas and prevents re-infestation for up to one month. For paralysis tick protection, bi-weekly application is recommended but results are not guaranteed.

The product comes in a number of pipettes that contain an oily-sticky liquid that is applied on the back of the dogs necks, on the skin (must part the coat until the skin is visible). The makers recommend monthly applications.

I found it easy to treat the dogs. Given the relatively high price of this product, Ive been using one pipette for our 2 puppies. As they are now big, this may no longer be an option but I can see how this option could be a money saver for anyone who has 2 not so large dogs.

I am taking one star away because of the ridiculously high price.
great     On: 2008-09-09

Always been a big fan of Frontline and I would recommend it to anyone. Plus amazon has really good prices compared to a vets office.
Flea Free!     On: 2008-09-05

The product works. I rescued a puppy covered in fleas, and after applying this product our little pup has remained flee free.
GREAT!     On: 2008-08-18

I have a yellow lab and frontline is something I use all year round because it not only keeps the fleas off of him in the spring and summer but it also helps keep some of the yeast out of his ears. If you have a lab you know what Im talking about. Frontline Plus is GREAT!!!
worked great!     On: 2008-08-08

Frontline Plus was exactly what we needed for Lucy. We put it on her about 6 pm, and the following day she was no longer scratching. It has been approx. 4 weeks, and there are still no fleas to be found. She is a 7 month old American Bulldog weighing approx. 75 lbs, and the first application worked great. We will continue using the remainder of the supply throughout the summer.
Fleas gone     On: 2008-07-26

I have used Frontline for years and find it very effective on fleas and ticks. Living in the country they are always a problem. I recently went to Amazon looking for a cheaper price for Frontline and was pleasantly surprised to find it almost half of what I pay in the store.
It Works     On: 2008-06-30

I like this product because it is waterproof (relatively speaking) - with 2 dogs that like to swim, therefore requiring more frequent baths (salt water swimming) this doesnt wash out

Recently after coming back from a field walk we were covered with ticks - our Brittany didnt have one!

It also doesnt irritate their skin like other products

Remember not to apply at the same time you give your monthly Heartwork meds - that is way too much toxins for your pet!
The Best I've Tried     On: 2008-06-07

Ive used this fipronil-based product successfully on my dogs for many years. The Frontline Plus controls fleas extremely well, even in tropical areas where infestations can easily get out of hand. With regular once-a-month usage, Ive had zero problems. Also, my dogs have never shown an allergic reaction, skin rash or itching while using Frontline. Its worth the price.
Worried Pet Ownner     On: 2008-06-05

The backyard is infested with fleas, which jumped on our new puppy last fall. The family didnt want to put those chemicals on him, but we had no choice.
He is very sensitive, and most likely has allergies. So far hes been okay with the dosage.
He still has some itching, though.
Just like you'd find at the store     On: 2008-04-19

I read several reviews which warned against buying this product, as it would be inferior to ones purchased at the store. When I received it, the box was sealed, and the individual applicators were also fully sealed. It was no different than the one youd buy at Petco for twice the price. For what its worth.
bedford, ma.     On: 2008-04-14

very cheap price. called my vet and they wanted more than double this price quick shipping also. i will buy again
Frontline Plus for Dogs     On: 2008-03-02

I always use this product on my dog. Sure cant beat the price I paid here compared to what I pay at the Vet. It was certainly worth it and I received it in just a few days.
Great product     On: 2008-02-16

Cheap price, same stuff as what Ive gotten at my vet. Works great on fleas and ticks. Came quickly.
Frontline     On: 2007-12-08

Quick shipping. We will do business with them again. Frontline works the best out of all of the available products.
Just a Bad Batch?     On: 2007-10-02

I have used this product in the past with good results, but this time I was less than pleased to say the least. The medication rolled right off the dog and what was left on her did nothing to repell fleas.

Then I was left with a dog who is highly alergic to flea bites unprotected and was out $30+ to boot.
If I had a video camera Id upload a picture of all the flea bites on my poor dogs stomach!

Be careful     On: 2007-08-23

Only one time in 10 yeaars have I applied Frontline Plus on my cat when it didnt get rid of his fleas at all. I was mystified -- I couldnt understand why it wasnt working. Then I remembered that it was the first time I ever bought a pack online instead of from my vet. The prices are tempting but...
Cheaper than the vet     On: 2007-07-26

Please dont hesitate to purchase this item. I used to purchase this for my dogs and cat at my local vetenary and now I will never do that again. The price is about 1/3 of what I would have paid. NO ticks on the dog.
Great Product     On: 2007-07-12

It is working great. We have a problem with mites in hawaii and it has completely cleared up the chewing mites on my dogs tail. No other product has done that. I apply it every 3 weeks.
Frontline Plus for Dogs 45-88 lbs     On: 2007-06-10

I have no reason to believe that this product is not of the same quality as that that you would purchase at the vets office or at other retail or online locations for higher prices.
Too many ticks     On: 2007-05-19

I ordered frontline from amazon. It came in a ziploc bag as opposed to the regular box. A week after application I plucked 10 ticks off my dog! You do the math, something isnt right.
good product
by: Anonymous    On: 2007-05-15

This product is perfect for my dog. I have a boxer and she sleeps indoors, so my concern for her having fleas is big. Since I started using this product, I have never had a problem with fleas and the convienience of once a month application makes it a must to have.

Wonderful Product!     On: 2007-02-13

Seems to work perfectly. We do not have any sort of a flea problem when using this product. Highly recommend.
Frontline Plus     On: 2007-01-10

We live in an area that has tremendous tick problems - so we use this product religiously to keep our dog and hopefully us, free from lyme disease.
WE USE THIS IT WORKS EXCELLENT!     On: 2005-11-09

We buy this online, they have the absolute lowest prices! They are the same as EntirelyPets,but i like HealthyPetMeds wegpage better because they have a lot more info on these nasty buggers!

2 mixed breed dogs.     On: 2005-11-07

My one dog was allergic to fleas, dug herself bloody. Any animal or person can have reactions to any substance. Many dogs are allergic to corn, which is hidden in many dog foods. Read all warnings, look for reactions, discontinue if ANY odd reaction. If you live in low flea area, other products are cheaper. In my areas the deer carry fleas everywhere. My own back yard isnt safe.

This product works fine on my animals ahd has been trouble free, but have heard of problems with Collies and Boxers.

Boxers Reaction to Frontline Plus     On: 2005-10-23

My Boxer francine was a rescued puppy I got in North Carolina where there was no Lyme Disease at the time. I got excellent Flea & Mosquito Repellent results from a Natural product applied the same way as Frontline. When i moved to Connecticut my Vet convinced me that because of Lyme Disease I needed to put Francine on Frontline Plus. I noticed she was mildly comprimised for a few days after each application but then back to normal. After 6 months on the product she started having problems with not being able to food down but it would subside with human stomach meds, I did not make the connection that it was winter and cold and had stopped the Frontline. She would be OK for a few months and the weather would warm up and I started the Frontline again and by winter she was sick again except worse than the year before. New doctors more tests IVs for dehydration from vomiting. Vets reccommending exploatory stomach surgery. the 3rd winter the Seizures started along with the vomiting and this time I took her to a famous Veterinary School and Hospital. They said all her x-rays and Ultra-sounds did not reveal any problems in her Esophagus, stomach or bowels. The vomiting was the first form of seizure and her Central Nervous System was shutting down from using Frontline Plus. Last Thanksgiving weekend I had to make the heart wrenching decision to give francine a final release from suffering seizures that could no longer be controlled with Phenobarbital. It did work on the Fleas.
