My 45lb dog got wrong Frontline. When can I safely apply correct dose?

Fortunately Frontline does not cause any symptoms of toxicity at 5 times the normal dose, so a double dose would not be a problem. I'm not entirely sure why there wouldn't be enough Frontline in a tube however unless it was open - perhaps you had some tubes that were for a smaller dog (the tube size is the same for different doses but there is less medication for smaller dogs). If the tube was open it may not be as effective and you may want to consider adding a different preventative. If you are not 100% sure you have the right dose size the safest thing to do would probably be to wash it off.

No this is not something i can recommend, i strongly advise switching to a different product as well because frontline is not that effective anyway, i would recommend Advantage spot on, but you must buy the correct weight because if you use a product for a smaller dog it will not work.

Yes it is safe to reapply most topical flea preventatives every 2 weeks if needed. This should be fine and safe to do since you are 2 weeks out. However, if you are still seeing fleas after this correct dosing, it is best to consider switching to a more effective product such as Revolution. Best of luck with your cats moving forward and keeping the fleas away. Take care.

The active ingredients in Frontline Plus are rather safe, so I would not be worried about any toxic effects this long after you applied the previous dose. Considering the bathing likely did remove a fair amount of the previous solution and you are seeing fleas, it's safe to say that Maddie will need some extra protection. The manufacturer recommends not bathing until 48 hours after applying Frontline, but I always advise not to give a bath one week after applying topical medications like Frontline to be safe. To be extra safe, you can get a different product prescribed by a veterinarian. I hope that helps and all is well with Maddie.

You can wash the product off his har with Dawn dish soap (it is a grease/oil remover). Then wait 24 hours and apply the Frontline again. If you can't get the topical product on him effectively you may need to switch to an oral product or use a Seresto collar. One Seresto collar lasts up to 8 months. It is very cost effective and easy to use. You didn't mention the age of your puppy so be sure to read all package instructions to make sure products are safe to use on whatever age your puppy is. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

It is safe to reapply the Frontline now, but in my experience, it doesn't have great flea protection. You may have better luck with Advantage products or a Seresto collar. The best flea protection is the prescription oral flea preventatives, like Bravecto or Nexgard.

I wouldn't recommend using it on Sunny since she weighs less than the dose range. While dogs aren't as sensitive to flea treatment overdose as cats are, the potential is still there to cause toxic symptoms such as muscle twitches and loss of coordination. It's best to strictly follow the weight guidelines to prevent any toxicity from occurring. I would exchange the Frontline for a dose in her weight range.
