    Only a one because there is not a 0. DO NOT PUT THIS SHIT ON YOUR DOG. MY DOG IS DEAD THANKS TO THIS SHIT. A 5 year old extremely healthy Irish Setter. Gone just like that.

    Gave my cat Frontline by directions. She got very sick. You are taking a chance of hurting your precious pet if you use it. I have to not recommend it. I think fleas are safer. Or using a natural repellent rather than this.

      This is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PRODUCT!! After application, my dogs were playing, got it in their mouths. One dog was deathly sick for over a week and the other one died within FOUR DAYS after application. A healthy YOUNG year and a half old dog went from being top health to DEAD in FOUR DAYS! I'm still taking care of the other one who stopped eating for days, lost a lot of weight. I have had to force feed him and he's finally starting to recover two weeks later. Never again will I EVER use Frontline products ever again. I would suggest you don't either. Read the FINE PRINT. It can cause severe reactions and death in dogs. I am not sure why a product that can kill dogs like this is available over the counter.

      Frontline needs to be sued in a giant class action lawsuit by everyone who lost pets and money trying to cure pets damaged by this product. BUYER BEWARE. YOU ARE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH YOUR PETS USING THIS DANGEROUS TOXIC PRODUCT. Peanut would have faired better scratching at fleas. And the other dogs I have that are ok, STILL HAVE FLEAS. This product needs to be pulled from shelves immediately!!

      My dog had an adverse reaction. I called the company and they told me to wash with dish soap. The vet prescribed ** for the itching. The dog became very irritable and tried to bite my son which is out of character. The itchiness went away after a few days and he seemed to be getting better even though there was a hard spot at the application site. Now the hair is clumping and falling out and he has a bald spot a little larger than a quarter. The vet believes it is a chemical burn from the application. When I called the company for monetary compensation for vet visit and treatment they said I had to proceed in writing and hung up on me. My veterinarian is helping me file the paperwork but I’m still out of pocket for the vet visit until I hear back.

      I bought this product for the first time to try and my pet. The other products I was using were not bringing me satisfaction I wanted, so I tried Frontline the more pricey product hoping if I spent more I'd be more likely to have it work better. Guys read reviews first. I wish I did that before I bought the product. My dog has never used this product before either. I started the first treatment and mind you he is a inside dog so he don't get fleas or ticks like that but the problem got worse.

      I've had my pet for over 5 years and never had this issues with the cheaper medication I used for my pet. Well I switch the this brand and my dog gets worse fleas and also got bite by a tick and is not fighting for his life. He has 2 tick diseases. Plus anemia over the tick diseases. This medication was suppose to help keep those away and if anything the cheaper ones kept ticks away for many years for me and my dog and as I switch to a different medication trying to find something that would work better it turned bad. So I'm just here to let others no don't waste your money. It doesn't help. If I could rate it 0 I would. I highly recommend do not use this product. Find a better product..

      Frontline Plus killed my dog within 48 hours of using product. My dog could not move her back legs and was paralyzed with extreme pain. Do NOT use this horrible poison. The customer service did NOT help.

      I used on my 2 dogs and fleas just kept getting worse. Customer care said it was because bathing my dogs washed it off. I waited 3 days before bathing. She said you can only use a dog shampoo, especially saying very gentle. Any excuse to get out of guarantee it seems. Box says satisfaction guarantee.

      I bought Frontline and put on my 3 inside dogs. Needless to say it’s June 22 and my dogs have flea infestation and now I’ll have to bomb my home. Such a waste of 40.00. Now I’ll be calling the vet tomorrow to see when I can get **. Totally not happy. You should give a refund.

      Twice now I have purchased this product in hopes of giving my dogs relief from the fleas, and it is beyond ineffective, I might of well just sprayed water on them, probably would have been better off because now they have chemicals on them that did not even help.

      We have always used Frontline on our 4 dogs and never had a issue. UNTIL now I bought 2 boxes spending eighty dollars and it did NOT WORK at all! I just got off the phone with Frontline and in a nut shell they do NOT CARE in the least! All I wanted because I figured that batch was not good, is just replace my boxes and it was no! They asked the most dumb questions I have ever heard, which with all these questions they were searching for a reason it was my fault.... NOT that their product did not work! When you are paying more for their product than others and it does NOT work... time to find another brand. God help you if your dog was hurt by this product because I promise you Frontline will blame you... not them!

      Don't buy Frontline for your pet, it used to work on my dogs couple of years ago, now it's less effective. First use my dogs are biting and itching constantly now than before apply. The money I spent on this product is no longer worth the value and the safety of my 2 dogs.

      My two rat terriers have had SEVEN engorged ticks on them in the past two months since using this product. I sent a picture of one to the company that makes Frontline, and told them what happened. (See attached photo) They claim they take this "very seriously,' but would not stand behind their "guarantee" because I didn't purchase from one of their preferred distributors. Meanwhile, my dogs continue to come in the house with wood ticks and deer ticks, possibly infecting my cats. This is a horrible product and an irresponsible company. They should be put out of business.

      I have been a consumer of Frontline for the last 3 years. As of lately, I’m not sure if they’ve changed the ingredients in their product, but it doesn’t have the same potency as it did before. It’s useless. I have been treating my cat for 3 mos and it’s not working.

      I’ve used Frontline Plus for years and the last 18 months it just does not work!!!! We have ten chi-weenies and apply it correctly to each one and they never stop itching or biting! You can even check them one day later, two days later and so on and you’ll still find fleas crawling on the skin. FRONTLINE PLUS for 10 dogs repeatedly is NOT CHEAP especially when we’re applying it bi-weekly and no change. Purchased at COSTCO and WALMART.

      Honestly, wish I could leave a "zero". I have purchased this product over the years and it always worked well. But somehow the formula has been changed! For anyone claiming this product works, you are being dishonest. After realizing the application did not work, I applied a 2nd application 2 days later. Now, for those of you who have wasted your hard earned cash as I did, laugh with me! Because we know the truth, that the product has been changed.

      My dog groomer recommended Frontline for small dogs (I have a small Maltese 6 lbs when wet). He was always a small white cottonball especially when blow dried. Unfortunately, I applied the topical medication directly to his skin between his shoulder blades. By the 3rd application his hair was thinning and I noticed a change to the color of his skin. Long story short, he is basically furless now except for the fur around his legs head/neck areas. I changed his diet and give him supplements for his skin/coat nothing works!! DO NOT use this product if you are not completely sure that your small dog will not have an allergic reaction.

      Frontline states clearly on their box that it kills fleas and ticks. I have used it for years and it doesn’t work anymore. My dogs not only got fleas but one has Lyme disease. The veterinarian says it doesn’t work and recommends not to use it.

      We’ve used this for as long as we’ve had dogs which is 15 years. This past summer (2023) we have struggled with fleas on our dogs. They’re all inside dogs and we’ve never had issues with fleas before now. I’m not sure if the formula has changed or what is going on but I def will not be buying this ever again.

      My dog had fleas so I put Frontline Plus in between the shoulder blades. 30 minutes later I saw her skin start turning really pink. To make matters worse it didn't even kill the fleas. Fleas were all over her face and body. We had to shave off the hair and now she has this big hot spot and painful for her. I am never buying this product again.
