THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

Does you dog have a recurring problem with fleas or ticks or both? One of the most recommended solutions to this problem is Frontline Plus for Dogs. When you buy Frontline for Dogs, remember that the next step is to apply it correctly  on your dog. For newbies to applying this treatment, this guide is for you. You can follow these easy to read procedure for a worry free application.

Step one - Make sure you get the right Frontline Plus for your pet’s type and weight. As you search online, you will see that this treatment offers variants for both cats and dogs, and weight categories for each type. Any dog supply store would probably have this available.

Step two - Check the contents of the package for the applicator, open it and use up the entire contents on your dog’s back (at the back of the head, between shoulder blades). The spot should be below the neck level. If you do this right, your dog will not be able to lick the treatment solution.

Step three - After applying Frontline Plus, if you can, don’t let your dog get wet a day (24 hours) after application. This span of time will let the ingredients of the treatment solution get absorbed into your dog’s skin. As a reminder, the solution must be used between the shoulder blades. Remember it has to be on the skin, not just the fur. It’s vital the solution makes contact with the skin to be absorbed. After the 24 hour wait, the dog can get wet and the treatment will remain active. Frontline is “waterproof” after 24 hours because it has already been absorbed into your dog’s skin.

Some reminders

Be sure to read the contraindications provided in the package insert that comes with Frontline for Dogs. As with any effective treatment, there are animals with conditions that will make the use of Frontline on them either harmful or suboptimal. These include puppies under eight weeks old, dogs that are pregnant, nursing, severely old or are under medication for some other illness or condition.

Also, remember that there may be other factors that contribute to your dog’s itches. Your dog could be reacting to something in its diet or to something he regularly encounters or comes into contact with. If your dog has this condition, you might need antibiotics or oral supplements recommended by your vet. But then again, only a check up with the vet can tell whether your dog needs these extras.
