wayned Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Does anybody have any info on the flea and tick medicine Frontguard. I was in the vets office the other day and she had Frontguard on display. She said that it was the same as Frontline but it was produced in Thailand. It's sold in individual applications in small bottles rather than pipets and is available for different weight dogs the same as Frontline. All of the writing on the box is in Thai. Lazada also carries it and it must be produced somewhere in the south of Thailand as they have awarning that delivery might be delayed due to the flooding in the south. I have tried to find info on the net and there is absolutely nothing there - unusual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 The active ingredients WILL BE written in English somewhere. Sometimes you need a mahifying glass.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayned Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 The active ingredient in Frontguard plus is fipronil (10%). Frontline plus also contains fipronil (9.8%) which supposedly kills adult fleas and ticks. Frontline Plus also has methoprene (8.8%) which supposedly attacks flea eggs and larvae. I was just asking if anyone has had any experience using it as there is zero information on the internet which is very unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a month frontline isn't all that expensive imo id stick to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayned Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Front line 275 baht/application Front guard 92 baht/application I now only have 8 dogs, all mutts. I raised Golden Retrievers and used Frontline with little or no success., so I stopped using it. Since all of the mutts are short hair I was considering trying it again and with one application/month, there is a difference of about 1500 baht/month. Not a lot but if they do the same thing why spend the extra baht. That's why I asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I asked. as frontline and controline are imported that would be why they are so expensive compared to front guard. as it to contains fibronil as long as you can find out who is manufactering it and what it contains there should be no reason why you should not try it.

dick dasterdly Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) My experience is that they all stop working after a few months and then its a case of changing from one product to another - which only works for a few days after each application. The only way to control ticks is to use Frontline spray/Bayticol etc. on bedding and furnishings in additions to the ever changing 'back of the neck' product. But for some obscure reason (relatively isolated area with no other animals around) I live in a tick infested area.

wayned Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Update on Frontguard. I used some on my 12 year old three legged mutt on the 9th. Her left ear is a discount tick hotel and gets infested with them in two days. Since I used it the ticks have disappeared so all's well so far and I have ordered and received more through Lazada,, 30% cheaper than locally available. These bottles had an internal flyer in the box but still in Thai. The active ingredients are fipronil (10%) and metheoprene (9%), the same as in Frontline. The product is made by Shangdon Luxi Animal Medicine Co. in China and imported by Doctot Ya Pharma Co. in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
