Frontline Gold for Cats

Absolutely. If you don’t treat every dog and cat, the untreated pets can continue to harbor fleas that will lay eggs, preventing the infestation from being cleared. Even if the dog or cat never goes outdoors, people may bring fleas into the home. 

For continuous protection, apply an appropriate FRONTLINE® Gold brand product every 30 days as directed. Consistency is key

Yes. FRONTLINE® Gold brand products remain effective after bathing or exposure to water. You may bathe your pet 48 hours after application. ONLY use a shampoo formulated for your pet and recommended by your veterinarian. 

Numerous hosts (including feral cats, opossums, raccoons, and other wildlife species) leave behind flea eggs wherever they go, including your yard. These outdoor flea infestations are often the primary source of the fleas that your pets pick up. Outdoors, developing flea stages can be found in areas protected from sunlight, so some of their favorite places include: Sheds, Garages, Under porches or decks 

Flea eggs, larvae, and pupae in the environment continue to develop and emerge as new fleas (even after your pet has been treated with a flea control product). It can take weeks to months for this already established infestation to be controlled. 

There are two main reasons: Fleas can jump onto your cat at any time, and these are not killed instantly. FRONTLINE® Gold for Cats kills these newly emerged fleas before they can lay eggs.  FRONTLINE® Gold for Cats kills fleas by overstimulating the flea nervous system, and hyperexcited fleas may move to the top of the haircoat before they die. So, seeing fleas on top of the haircoat after applying FRONTLINE® Gold for Cats can be an indication that the product is working. 

After FRONTLINE® Gold for Cats is applied, fipronil collects in the oils of the skin and hair follicles and continues to be released from hair follicles onto the skin and coat, resulting in activity against fleas, ticks, and chewing lice. 

Regular use of an appropriate FRONTLINE® Gold brand product on your pet may reduce flea infestations in the home. For best results, use FRONTLINE® Gold brand products as part of a comprehensive flea treatment plan, which includes coordinated treatment of the home, yard and pet. Vacuum floors, carpets and furniture – especially in areas where an infested pet has spent a lot of time, because that is often where many flea eggs will be found. Wash pet bedding and other fabrics in hot water.
