Frontline flea and tick treatment
Frontline is a widely used spot-on flea and tick treatment for dogs and cats, applied directly to the skin rather than given as a tablet. We stock a selection from the range, alongside the other flea and worming products on that shelf.
How it is used
Frontline products are applied as drops onto the skin, usually at the back of the neck between the shoulder blades, rather than swallowed. This spot-on format is one of the most familiar ways of treating fleas and ticks in the UK, and the products are sold in different pack sizes and strengths for different sizes of dog and cat.
Always check the pack is intended for the species and weight of animal you are treating before applying it — a product made for dogs should never be used on a cat, and getting the weight band wrong is one of the most common mistakes with any spot-on treatment.
What we stock, and who it suits
Our range includes a selection of Frontline's spot-on products for dogs and cats. We stock a slice of the wider range rather than every pack size and formulation, and what shows in the grid above is what is currently available to order.
It suits owners looking for a well-known, established option on a shelf that also includes other brands, and anyone who prefers a spot-on treatment to a tablet for their dog or cat.
Getting the right product for your pet
Flea and tick products are matched to species and weight for a reason, and a product bought for the wrong size of animal is not simply less effective — it can be genuinely unsuitable. Read the pack carefully rather than assuming any pack in the range will do.
If your pet has a known reaction to a flea treatment, is pregnant or nursing, or you are treating a very young puppy or kitten, check with your vet before applying anything rather than relying on the pack alone to cover every situation.

Common questions
- How often should I apply a flea and tick treatment?
- This depends on the specific product and pack instructions, which vary by formulation, so always follow what is printed on the pack rather than a general rule. If fleas or ticks keep coming back despite regular treatment, speak to your vet about your household's overall routine.
- Can I use a dog product on a cat, or the other way round?
- No. Products are formulated and dosed for a specific species, and using a dog product on a cat can be genuinely dangerous. Always check the pack is intended for the animal you are treating before applying it.
- Does Giddy Pets stock every Frontline product?
- No, we stock a selection rather than every pack size and formulation. What is shown in the grid above is what we currently have available to order, and that can change as stock does.
- My pet reacted badly to a spot-on treatment — what should I do?
- Stop using it and contact your vet, describing what happened and when. Reactions to flea treatments are uncommon but genuine, and a vet can advise on an alternative product or approach for your specific pet.
