Information
Frontline Combo for cats is a monthly spot-on treatment for fleas, biting lice, brown ticks and paralysis ticks. It kills adult fleas and ticks and prevents re-infestations by killing flea eggs, larvae, pupae found on the feline’s body and in the surroundings. It protects cats against flea, tick borne diseases, and reduces the chances of Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD).
The active ingredients, Fipronil and S-methoprene attack the central nervous system of the parasites, paralyze them and kill them.

Frontline Combo for cats kills ticks within 48 hours of application and saves pets from fatal diseases caused and transmitted by these parasites.
To be used on cats and kittens 8 weeks and older, the parasiticidal treatment should be repeated on a monthly basis to give all year round protection to felines. Available in the pipette and spray form the product is very easy to use.
