My minature schnauzers have been using the (Rxx) FRONTLiNE protection from fleas during the hot summer months perscribed by their vet for several years and monitored when taken in for their semi-annual checkup, shots, etc.
How does the Frontline PLuS and also the Advantage flea-tick medications which are available online without a Rxx differ from those requiring an actual Rxx (prescription) for dogs and cats please?
We’re “itching” to know, so please RuFF ruFF ~ MeoW MeoW us next

I buy Frontline online for my Shih Tzu in the Xtra Large size and the just use the amount needed for a 10 lb dog. It saves me a ton of money and 1 container lasts for 9 months for about 35.00. The ingredients are exactly the same, only the dosage is different. Your schnauzer is adorable!

Hi, You do not need a prescription for flea treaments any longer. At least not here in Maryland.

I’ve never had a flee or tick problem with either of my dogs. We have the yard professionally sprayed every three months since we bought the house and keep their fur short.

I believe ask to the vet as humans some medication can affect them some not, but my daughter small chihuahua is so easy to have itch with some medications.
but I believe depends of the dog/cat or pet

No prescription needed here either.
I just have to add that the original Frontline worked like a dream but the “new and improved” version is a waste of money. Advantage is so much better.

We used to use Frontline from the vet, until we got a 3rd dog, and it was just too costly, hubbys been getting another brand at Walmart and we have been using it about a year, we havent seen any flee’s on them, and its so much cheaper.

My 2 dogs get Frontline flea and tick meds OTC. No perscription needed here, only need a perscription for heartworm meds.

Be careful about what you apply to your furry kids. I applied a new flea medicine to our Cocker last year, within 10 seconds he had a grand mal seizure :-( He had been on a different flea ‘neck medicine’, vet recommended this new stuff – maybe not what caused seizure, but within seconds of applying, Buck was in full blown seizure. Please be careful!

No prescription needed in California. I worked in a vet’s office and we sold it right over the counter there.

Thanks ===> [URL removed] Yep, my mini is indeed daddy’s spoil little brat and DOES get her way all the time. She’s so intune to keywords (especially when I [URL removed] dinner or outside)…LOL
In Texas, I’ve been ordering the PRESCRIBED Frontline and its a requirement for my vet to submit approval on all reorders but I have seen the Frontline “PLUS” which is so resourceful everywhere WITHOUT a written approved prescription and I wanted to learn more about this to see what’s the difference of the two…
Thanks for your input…bye bye

Cats all Weights Green .5ml 8-months
Dogs up tp 22lbs Oraange 0.67ml 6-months
Dogs 22-44lbs blue 1.34ml 3-months
Dogs 45-88lbs purple 2.68ml 1-1/2 Months
Dogs89-132lbs red 4.02ml 1-Months
(This table is an estimate of the number of doses available when using our directions to get multiple uses from a large tube of Frontline Plus.)
