Frontline for Cat Flea Protection
No-one wants their cats to have fleas,
because this wide spread external parasite can not only make their cats ill, but
also can easily spread to family dogs, their beds, and possibly worse still your bed and soft furniture as
well.
The manufacturers of Frontline boast their product is the finest flea protection product on the
market today.
Understanding cat fleas helps us to understand what steps we need to take to have full cat flea
protection.
1. Your cat is liable to get fleas because you they get everywhere. This means in your garden, in the
house, in your bed, and on your soft furnishings.
2. Fleas like warm moist places so love animal skin and fur.
3. Fleas are external parasites, and therefore live off blood, and this doesn’t just mean cats and
dogs, but humans, indeed any mammals.

the active ingredient of Frontline?

Is
Frontline Plus the same as Frontline Spot On?

flea eggs and larvae. What this means is that Frontline Plus controls every bit of the flea life cycle so gives
better overall Cat Flea protection, but is more expensive.

fleas have to bite your cat for Frontline to work?
