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.
