What dosage of Frontpro should I choose for my dog?

Choosing the right dosage of Frontpro for your dog depends on a number of factors, including your dog's weight and size. Frontpro is an anti-parasite medication for dogs that is available in several dosages. It is essential to follow the dosage recommendations provided by your veterinarian or indicated on the product packaging.

Frontpro should be administered according to the following table to ensure the target dose of 2.7-7 mg/kg dog weight:

• between 2-4kg: 1 Frontpro 11 mg antiparasitic tablet for very small dogs

What is the composition of FRONTPRO for Dogs 10-25kg?

68 mg Afoxolaner; Potassium sorbate (E202)

Afoxolaner is an active ingredient in certain flea treatments for dogs and cats. It belongs to the class of isoxazolines, which are insecticidal and acaricidal compounds. Here's how Afoxolaner works against fleas:

1. Ingestion: When your dog or cat ingests a treatment containing Afoxolaner, the drug is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream.
2. Blood circulation: Once in the bloodstream, Afoxolaner spreads throughout the animal's body.
3. Flea feeding: When a flea bites your pet to feed on its blood, it also ingests Afoxolaner.
4. Nervous system action: Once ingested by the flea, Afoxolaner targets the insect's nervous system.
5. Blocking sodium channels: Afoxolaner acts by specifically binding to the sodium channels present in the flea's nervous system.
6. Paralysis and death: By blocking sodium channels, Afoxolaner disrupts the transmission of nerve signals within the flea. This leads to paralysis and eventual death.
7. Elimination: Once the flea is paralyzed and dead, it is removed from the animal's coat, usually when it scratches, licks or grooms itself.

It's important to note that Afoxolaner-based flea treatment doesn't usually affect the animal in a negative way, as it specifically targets the fleas and not the animal's nervous system. However, it is essential to follow the product's administration instructions and consult your veterinarian to choose the right treatment for your pet, based on its weight, age and specific flea protection needs.
