Frontline
Ticks, fleas, and other parasites become more active as the weather gets warmer, making March through early April the beginning of tick season throughout much of the United States. You should check your pet (and yourself) for any signs of these parasitic pests after spending time outdoors, especially in wooded areas and tall grasses. Fortunately, there are preventative treatments that can quickly eliminate any fleas or ticks that attempt to feed on your dog.
Now through Sunday March 18, PetMeds is having a sale on one of our favorite flea and tick preventative, with 20 percent off all Frontline products when using the discount code FL20. Stock up and save on packs of three, six, or twelve-monthly doses and your dog will be ready for the great outdoors.
Frontline Plus For Small Dogs Flea & Tick Prevention and Treatment
Frontline Plus For Dogs is a monthly topical treatment to prevent ticks and fleas, applied to a patch of skin on your dog's back, where they can't scratch or lick. Once its had a day to dry, Frontline is waterproof for a full month, providing a steady stream of fipronil—which kills adult fleas and ticks—and a separate chemical that targets flea eggs and larvae.
To find the right dosage for your dog select the size that best aligns with their current weight. There are four options for dogs as young as eight weeks: 5-22 pounds, 23-44 pounds, 45-88 pounds, and 89-132 pounds. Every month with Frontline Plus your dog will be protected against fleas at all stages, the brown dog tick, the American dog tick, the lone star tick, and the deer tick—a well-known carrier of Lyme disease.
Frontline Plus For Cats Flea & Tick Prevention and Treatment
While more often associated with dogs, ticks are unfortunately also a danger for cats. Frontline Plus For Cats is formulated for felines and is not interchangeable with Frontline Plus For Dogs, even if the weight of your cat aligns with your canine's number on the scale. Frontline Plus For Cats is safe for all cats and kittens starting at eight weeks and weighing over one and a half pounds. Each month, a new application should be applied between your cat's shoulder blades directly onto your cat's skin.
Frontline Plus, alternate formula Frontline Gold, and Frontline Shield, which also protects against mosquitoes, are all available for 20 percent off using discount code FL20.
And it's not just Frontline on sale during the PetMeds flea & tick season promotion. You can also get 40 percent off on all flea & tick products using the discount code FLEAFREE if you sign up for an Autoship subscription, which offers discounted prices on scheduled deliveries of your favorite pet medications.
You can also get $10 off six packs of Advantage II for dogs and cats—a similar flea preventative to Fronline—by using the discount code TENOFF, and $10 off Seresto flea collars using the discount code TEN4U.
PetMeds discount codes and sales prices are available throughout the month of March, except for discount code FL20—the Frontline sale ends on Sunday, March 18.
