Vets often recommend regular flea treatments, even when dogs and cats do not have the pest, to prevent the insects from taking shelter in their fur.
Anna Judson, president of the British Veterinary Association, said: Parasiticides play an important role in preventing and treating parasites in animals, which if left unaddressed can lead to bigger health and welfare issues in both animals and people … we encourage vets to consider the risks of an animal’s exposure to fleas or ticks when prescribing or recommending parasiticides, such as evaluating if a single house cat needs treatment at all.

Many pet owners find Frontline effective when applied correctly and consistently as part of a comprehensive parasite control plan. However, veterinary guidance can help in deciding whether an alternative or additional treatment is needed, considering reports of regional resistance in some areas. Consult with a veterinarian about alternative products if you notice fleas or ticks on your dog despite treatment. For personalized advice on flea and tick prevention tailored to your dog's specific needs and environment, consider booking a consultation with a Dial A Vet professional. Frontline is generally safe for most dogs when used according to the label instructions. If fleas are still present after application, ensure that you're applying it correctly. If the issue persists, consult your vet to discuss possible resistance or the need for an alternative or supplementary treatment.
