- How long does each dose last?
- Each spot-on dose protects for about one month. The three-dose pack covers roughly three months for one dog.
- Is it safe for cats?
- No. It contains permethrin, which is toxic to cats. Keep treated dogs away from cats until the application site is dry.
- Which dog sizes does it fit?
- It is labelled for medium dogs (11–25 kg) and maxi dogs (26–44 kg). Smaller dogs need a different size.
- Can I bathe my dog after applying it?
- Wait until the site is dry, and avoid shampooing for a couple of days. After that it is water-resistant, though frequent bathing shortens protection.
- How is it different from plain Frontline?
- Plain Frontline uses fipronil alone. Shield adds permethrin, which repels ticks and mosquitoes as well as killing them.
- Can puppies use it?
- Only dogs above the label's minimum age. Check the pack for the age limit and ask a vet for young puppies.
