One spot application is all that’s needed:

FRONTLINE Plus spreads from the single point of application, rapidly covering the entire dog and localizing in the hair, on the surface of the skin and in the sebaceous glands. These glands act as a reservoir, continuously replenishing FRONTLINE Plus onto the skin and hair coat, so it keeps working even if the dog gets wet.
Fleas, ticks and chewing lice are killed quickly after coming into contact with a treated dog. Fleas and ticks do not need to bite the dog in order to die.
