Contra-indications, warnings, etc

For animal treatment only. For external use only.

Do not use on sick (systemic diseases, fever...) or convalescent animals.

Do not use in rabbits, as adverse reactions and even death could occur.

It is important to make sure that animals do not lick each other following treatment. If licking occurs, a brief period of hypersalivation may be observed due mainly to the nature of the carrier.

Among the extremely rare suspected adverse reactions, transient cutaneous reactions erythema, pruritis or alopecia have been reported after use. Exceptionally, hypersalivation, reversible neurological signs (hyperaesthesia, depression, nervous signs), vomiting or respiratory signs have been observed after use.

The risk of experiencing adverse effects may increase when overdosing, so animals should always be treated with the correct dose according to bodyweight. Do not overdose.

Avoid contact with the animal's eyes.

Do not spray directly onto areas of broken skin.

Keep treated animals away from fires, other sources of heat and surfaces likely to be affected by the alcohol spray for at least 30 minutes following spraying or until the fur is totally dry. Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material.

Allow treated animals to dry in a well ventilated room.

Do not confine animals in an enclosed space or pet carrier until the coat is totally dry.

For optimum efficacy, it is not recommended to bathe or shampoo the animals in the 2 days prior to or following treatment with FRONTLINE Spray (Refer also to the 'Further Information' section of this data sheet).

Fipronil may adversely affect aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches with the product or empty containers. Dispose of used packaging in the household refuse. Unused product should be returned to the veterinary surgeon.

Dogs should not be allowed to swim in watercourses for 2 days after application.

Standard Operator Warnings

This product can cause mucous membrane and eye irritation, so avoid contact of the product with mouth and eyes.

Operators with a known hypersensitivity to insecticides or alcohol should avoid contact with FRONTLINE Spray. Avoid contents coming into contact with the fingers. If this occurs, wash hands with soap and water. After accidential ocular exposure the eye should be rinsed carefully with plain water. Wash hands after use.

Treated animals should not be handled until the fur is dry, and children should not be allowed to play with treated animals until the fur 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 are not allowed to sleep with owners, especially children.

Spray animals in the open air or a well ventilated room.

Do not breathe spray. Do not smoke, drink or eat during application.

Wear PVC or nitrile gloves during treatment of animals. It is recommended to wear a waterproof apron for the protection of clothing.

If clothing becomes heavily wetted with FRONTLINE Spray, it should be removed and washed before re-use.

Dispose of gloves after use and then wash hands with soap and water.

Wash splashes from skin with soap and water immediately. If irritation occurs, seek medical advice. People with known skin sensitivity or asthma may be particularly sensitive to FRONTLINE Spray. Do not use the product if you have previously experienced a reaction to it.

Treatment of multiple animals

Good ventilation is particularly important where several animals are to be treated. Treat multiple animals outside, or reduce the build up of vapour by removing the animals from the treatment room while the alcohol is evaporating and ensure that the treatment room is well ventilated between individual treatments. In addition, ensure that the drying room is well ventilated and avoid housing several recently treated animals within the same air space.

hi thanks for the information come in very useful

[sue 1]

what i do its a tedious job but if she has fleas spray some frontline in the lid and soak some up with a cotton bud and dab it on the flea ,its a safer way than spraying the whole ferret

[Kay 3,709]

The thing to remember is nothing in the flea treatment lines are licenced to use on ferrets infact as far as i know theres only one drug licenced to use on them & thats the jill jab, so always use with caution
