Spot-on flea treatments are usually liquid and applied to the skin, typically between the shoulder blades or along the back. These treatments contain insecticides that are absorbed into the dog's body through the skin, entering the bloodstream - when fleas come into contact with the treated area, they are killed or repelled. Some spot-on treatments also have additional ingredients to prevent flea eggs from hatching, such as Frontline Plus. Flea tablets, also known as oral flea medications, are ingested by the dog. These tablets contain chemicals that are absorbed into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. When fleas bite the dog, they are exposed to these chemicals, which either kill the fleas directly or disrupt their life cycle, preventing them from reproducing. Dog oral flea tablets provide systemic protection against fleas and can be an effective option for controlling infestations.
