- Is Fiproguard Plus the same as Frontline Plus?
- It uses the same two active ingredients, fipronil and (S)-methoprene, in a similar formulation. It is a generic alternative rather than the same brand, and some owners find it slightly less effective in areas with resistant fleas.
- How often do I apply it?
- Apply one tube every 30 days. Do not reapply sooner unless your vet advises it, and wait at least 48 hours before bathing or letting the dog swim.
- Which size do I need?
- Match the tube to your dog's weight as printed on the label. This listing is for the 89 mg tube, intended for dogs in the mid weight range; do not split a larger tube for a smaller dog.
- Is it safe for puppies?
- It is labeled for dogs 8 weeks and older and above the minimum weight for the size. Consult your vet before using it on pregnant, nursing or medicated dogs.
- Does it kill ticks?
- Yes, it kills ticks that attach to the dog, but it does not repel them. Check your dog after walks in tall grass, since a tick may attach before it dies.
- Can I bathe my dog after applying it?
- Wait at least 48 hours after application before bathing, and use a gentle shampoo. Frequent bathing or swimming shortens the protection period.
