A note on Frontline? topical products: Overall, these products are very safe for cats when used appropriately. However, with decades of use,
studies have shown decreased efficacy in some formulations. Kills ticks slowly (within 24-48 hours) compared to other products, perhaps
allowing various tick-borne infections to occur. Kills fleas in 8-24 hours.
