Operator Warnings
The product can cause mucous membrane and eye
irritation and so contact with the mouth and
eyes should be avoided.
Avoid contents coming into contact with the
fingers. If this occurs, wash hands with soap
and water. After accidental ocular exposure the
eye should be rinsed carefully with plain water.
Wash hands after use.
Do not smoke, eat or drink during application.
Treated animals should not be handled until the
application site is dry, and children should not
be allowed to play with treated animals until
the application site is dry. It is therefore
recommended that animals are not treated during
the day, but should be treated during the early
evening, and that recently treated animals
should not be allowed to sleep with owners,
especially children.
Uses
The treatment and prevention of infestations by
fleas (Ctenocephalides spp.), ticks
(Rhipicephalus spp., Dermacentor spp. and Ixodes
spp.) in cats, and as part of a treatment
strategy for Flea Allergy Dermatitis, where this
has been previously diagnosed by a veterinary
surgeon. The product controls infestations with
Felicola subrostratus biting lice on cats.
FRONTLINE Spot On Cat can be used in kittens
from 8 weeks of age and weighing at least 1kg
Dosage and
administration
Route
of administration
By topical application to the skin.
Dosage
1 pipette of 0.5 ml per cat (approximately 7.5 -
15 mg/kg).
Method of administration
Hold upright. Tap the narrow part of the pipette
to ensure that the contents are within the main
body of the pipette. Break back the snap-off top
of the spot-on pipette along the scored line.
Part the coat between the shoulder blades until
the skin is visible. Place the tip of the
pipette on the skin and squeeze gently to empty
its contents onto the skin, preferably at two
spots, one at the base of the skull and a second
2-3 cms further back.
Care should be taken to avoid excessive wetting
of the hair with the product since this will
cause a sticky appearance of hairs at the
treatment spot. However, should this occur, it
will disappear within 24 hours post application.
In the absence of safety studies, the minimum
treatment interval is 4 weeks.
It is important to apply the dose to an area
where the animal cannot lick off and to make
sure that animals do not lick each other after
treatment. If licking does occur, a brief period
of hypersalivation may be observed, due mainly
to the nature of the carrier. Ensure that
treated animals do not groom each other after
treatment until dry
