Frontline Plus Is One Of The Most Effective Flea Treatments

Frontline Plus is one of the most effective flea treatments for both cats and dogs that actually kill one hundred percent of the adult fleas that live on them in just twenty four hours (on average).  There are some possible side effects when using Frontline Plus though so you have to make sure that you know these before you apply the treatment.  Basically by learning these you will know when your pet will be fine on their own and when you will have to consult a veterinarian.

In some cases the side effects from Frontline Plus use occur right after the application but in some cases they do not develop until later.  There are some more serious side effects that might lead to permanent and complicated health problems or could even cause death.

However, the most common side effect of Frontline Plus is a minor skin irritation at the site of the application and this is not that serious.  The most common way for you to know that this is occurring is if the pet is seen scratching him/herself.  Also there will be some red skin or inflammation at the site as well.

If you notice your pet scratching at the application site for the Frontline Plus then you will need to make sure that they are not spreading the medication to areas where they could potentially bite it or ingest it in some way.  Plus you will need to make sure that they do not break the skin and cause bleeding as if this happens then you have to get them to a veterinarian.  This could potentially cause there to be medication distributed into the blood stream which could result in a very serious problem later.
Some of the things that you should watch for with Frontline Plus are that your pet could have nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting if they have licked the product.  This might not be that serious but if it continues then you should be sure to seek treatment from a veterinarian.  The most serious side effects from Frontline Plus use includes depression, aggression, tremors, nervousness, anxiety, rapid heart rate, or respiratory problems.
