Frontline Flea Treatment for the treatment of Fleas, Ticks & Biting Lice. There are 100's of different flea species in the world fortunately there are only really two that are relevant to cats and dogs in the UK, the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) and the dog flea (Ctenocephalides canis). The cat flea infests dogs as well as cats while the dog flea is only found on dogs. Rabbit and hedgehog fleas can sometimes be found on cats. Fleas breed very quickly and the female can lay as many as 50 eggs per day, which immediately fall off the animal, all around your home. The adult flea lives permanently on your dog or cat and can survive off their host for up to six months, they can have a lifespan of about two years. Be aware that just one flea can bite your pet more than 400 times in just one day.

Ticks are mainly found in Dogs, issues like dog ticks are just one of the problems that may affect your dog at least once in its lifetime. Dog ticks are usually obtained in the woods and open fields. Ticks attach themselves to animals and once a certain amount of blood is sucked out of your pet’s body, the ticks grow bigger in size. Ticks can bring about a number of diseases that can cause major concerns to your dog's health. Ehrlichiosis, this disease can cause fever, lethargy, lameness or even bleeding tendencies to your pet. Pet owners need take every precaution to avoid ticks from coming into contact with dogs so should use Frontline ticks control for ticks treatment.
