Merial Frontline

We wondered why our cat kept getting sore areas on his back and flanks, then it dawned on is that these outbreaks closely followed the applications of frontline. The lesions resembled chemical burns. Since stopping frontline, these problems have ceased. Has anyone else experienced this?

I used Frontline when it first came onto the market, it was fantastic up to last year, then it stopped working, I breed Birman cats they are semi-long haired, and I never had a flea on them with Frontline spray, I bought the largest spray that you made and it would last me for 2 years now it dosent last 6 months, and does not work, I use spot on for my 14 year old Birman Melody who is allergic to fleas, she ended up being treated by my vet for her flea allergy, did her with spot on 2 weeks ago, she has fleas again and will have to go to my vet yet again to be treated for the allegy, all this is costing me a fortune, I can tell you I am disgusted, and I am not the only breeder with problems, also I run a boardidng cattery have cats coming in having been treated with spot on and they are all complaining, I think it should be taken off the market as its not doing what it is supposed to do

I breed Devon rex cats which are flea magnets. I sprayed them with prescription, expensive frontline spray only a few weeks ago and today noticed that they are once again running alive with fleas even though they are in a cattery and never go out. When I treated the cats I also treated the whole room with a household spray, and washed all their bedding on a boil wash. Don't waste your money. It no longer works.

My other moggie cats which go out into the fields all day, wear poundland flea collars as do the dogs and there are no fleas at all on them. However I cannot use the collars on my rex cats as it makes them throw up.

My dog had only a few fleas. My vet recommended I try frontline. It did not work. Fleas still there. Was told to apply it again in 2 weeks. I did and still did not work. Im going back to Advantix as soon as I can safely apply it to my dog. It works.

Dont waste your money on frontline. I have 2 vials left and Im throwing them in the trash.

On my kitties, Merial Frontline has worked for fleas and ticks so far. For my dog, 1-2 weeks after application we took over 30 ticks off her! Don't know why, but as pricey as it is they might want to adverstise more adequately where it won't work so people won't waste their money.

Was very disappointed with the Frontline, considering I had used it on my cats for many years without any problems. Now, my new edition is scratching all the time and has brought fleas into the house. Biting me at great strength! I got the pipets from my local chemist at the cost of £17 which is a lot of money. If it don't work it is very disappointing. I have spent a lot of money on other products to get rid of the fleas in my home costing even more money. Why has this product stopped working? I would like to know.

Merial the manufacturers were very helpful, but there product just didn't work. We tried it for 6 months (as Merial stated there could be a problem in our area - a "flea burden' or 'flea challenge' as they call it). But we switched to Revolution as we just couldn't leave it any longer and the fleas were gone in days! We went from 100s of eggs noticeable in the dog's bedding every morning to absolutely none within days of starting Revolution - amazing!

I used the liquid, as instructed (after using another brand). My mum recommended Frontline to us, as she'd used it in the past. After putting it on my cat (Tiger), the next day I could tell there was a difference. Tiger was back to normal - eating his food and a lot happier. Also, we had seen dead fleas come off Tiger, which was a blessing. I will be using the Merial Frontline flea treatment every month now without fail, and the calendar stickers supplied in the pack were great. I paid £15.50 in total for 6 months' treatment. I would be prepared to pay a lot more for such a good product.

Don't make the same mistake that we did. Not all brands are as good as this one!!

Merial Frontline Combi did not protect my cat from ticks 2 weeks into treatment - either preventing them on to her or eliminating once on her.

Merial Frontline Flea and Pest treatment did not keep sheep ticks away, and they returned only days after being applied, which was certainly not as specified.
