wait a month to be safe
Give her a flea bath
treat your house, there is no point in treating just the dog, your house will probably have fleas too

Do as it says. Like Myles said..it is absorbed into the body, it'll be like a poison if you mis-use it.

Frontline has lost its effectiveness this year in many parts of the country (fleas have mutated to be immune to it) so before you re apply, check out other meds like Advantage, K9 Advantix, and Revolution, our fave. Call your vet tomorrow.

Frontline Plus kills all adult fleas and flea eggs. It cannot kill fleas in the larvae stage, and sometimes you'll notice that even after the first application, your dog still has an infestation. Either wait a month and reapply, and talk to your vet about the possibility of other options.

Actually, Frontline is safe to use after two weeks.
Frontline can also be used as a tick preventative, and to prevent ticks, you need to re-apply after two weeks.
If the fleas are still on the dog after a dose of frontline, however, I suggest using a different brand of flea treatment for a while.
Sometimes dogs and fleas can start to develop an immunity to the flea treatment, so you should use a treatment with a different active ingredient, like Advantage, for a month, then switch brands every month, to prevent this from happening.
You should talk to your vet about whether you can apply Advantage two weeks after applying Frontline.

dont ever put it flea medication on more than 30 days apart! you have to wait the month out because if you dont it could make your dog sick or even kill it! wash it with a really good flea shampoo and then give it a flea dip! Then you will want to make sure you bomb your house as well because thats a big reason dogs still get fleas. owners think well i put the medicine on the dog it should be fine. NOPE WRONG ANSWER! treat your house and wash all beding as well! Good luck!

once a month.
you also have to treat your house and yard. where ever the dog goes. frontline only kills the ones on the dog. others will get back on if not treating everywhere.

You need to wait the full 4 weeks before reapplying. you should have given your dog a flea dip prior to applying the frontline in order to get rid of all the fleas on your dog. you also need to bomb your home to get rid of them inside the house or your dog will never be free of them.
reapplying too soon could cause your dog to get a toxic overdose of the medication in his system.

Talk to your vet. Depending on your dog and whether or not it was applied right the first time your vet might okay it, but depending on your dog reapplying so soon could also cause him to overdose on the pesticide in frontline.
Is it frontline or frontline plus.
Was he bathed before or after application. How long before or after?
What size dog?
These are things your vet will need to know to make the decision of a second application.
Make sure your house is free flea to kill the cycle faster. Use a fabric spray and a carpet powder and vacum like crazy at least twice a day for a few weeks. Re-wash everything cloth. Get a spray that does fleas from home depot and spray your yard as well (your pup has to stay out of it 12 hours after you spray so be ready for that) If you kill the fleas in all the places (house and yard) it makes keeping of your pup easier.

You must read the instructions on the box (also making sure that it is the right kind of frontline for your pet) It is only once a month and reading the instructions you would know where to apply it? In between the front shoulders and in larger animals back as well.

NO you can not.
What you're seeing is new fleas that are hatching and going to the dog. When they get a meal on her they'll die. You can vacuum the place daily and help kill the fleas in the environment (they die in the process of getting sucked up) but you should NOT apply any more flea killer or you'll be doing damage to the dog's liver. These are toxic substances and when it says 4 weeks they mean four weeks between applications.

You have to treat the ENVIRONMENT as well as the dog. There are still eggs, larvae, and cocoons all over your house that have fallen off the dog, so until you treat all the bedding, carpeting, etc., your dog is still going to have fleas. It won't do you a bit of good to treat her with Frontline DAILY if you're not going to treat the house as well.

No, that wouldn't be safe. You can make your dog very sick doing that.
You probably have a flea problem in your house, and if that's the case, it doesn't matter how many times you apply the treatment to the dog. You need to deal with the flea issue first.
Set off a couple of bug bombs in your house (this will take more than one). Vacuum all of the heaviest traffic areas several times a day for at least a week, and wash all of your curtains and blankets. Also wash the dog's bedding. If this still doesn't work, get your house tented. Only then should you give your dog another treatment.

The fleas should be dying and falling off. If she is that infested, maybe she should have had some type of bath treatment first. Typically, Frontline is applied once a month for ticks and every 3 months for fleas. That would also depend upon what type of environment you live in, i.e. do you live in the country or city where ticks aren't dominant. You should always check with your vet before doing something you're not sure of.

Switch to another flea medication. I had my pets on Frontline Plus for 4 or 5 years and all of a sudden it didn't work for us any more. I even sprayed the yard and bombed the house and garage. My vet recommended Revolution (It also prevents heartworm disease) and it worked very well. That's all I use now.
