FAQs

How often should I apply Frontline Tri-Act?

For optimal protection, Frontline Tri-Act should be applied every four weeks.

Can I use Frontline Tri-Act on my cat?

No, absolutely not. Frontline Tri-Act contains permethrin, which is highly toxic to cats and can be fatal. It is strictly for dogs weighing 20-40kg.

What should I do if my dog swims or is bathed?

Frontline Tri-Act is water-resistant after 48 hours. Occasional swimming or bathing is acceptable, but frequent bathing or submersion within the first 48 hours may reduce its effectiveness.

How quickly does it kill fleas?

It starts killing fleas within 5 minutes and newly arriving fleas and ticks within 6 hours.

What parasites does it protect against?

It kills and repels fleas and ticks, and repels mosquitoes, biting flies, and sandflies. It also helps prevent flea infestations in the home.

Is it safe for puppies?

It is not recommended for puppies under 8 weeks of age or weighing less than 20kg. Always consult your veterinarian for advice on parasite control for young or small dogs.

Can I use this product if my dog has skin sensitivities?

It is advisable to consult your veterinarian before using this product if your dog has a history of skin sensitivities or known skin conditions.

Troubleshooting

Dog is excessively licking or scratching the application site.

This may indicate a local reaction. Monitor your dog closely. If irritation persists or spreads, consult your veterinarian. Ensure the product was applied to an area the dog cannot easily reach.

Product seems less effective than previous applications.

Ensure the correct dosage for the dog's weight was used and that the application was made directly to the skin. Check that the monthly treatment schedule has been maintained without long gaps. Parasite resistance can also occur; consult your vet if concerns persist.

Accidental contact with cats or other animals.

If a cat comes into contact with the wet application site, wash the cat immediately with soap and water and contact your veterinarian. Keep treated dogs and cats strictly separated until the application site is dry.

Dog gets wet shortly after application.

The product is water-resistant after 48 hours. If bathing or swimming occurs within 48 hours of application, the full duration of protection may be compromised. Re-application might be necessary, following veterinary advice.
