Boehringer Ingelheim has launched FRONTPRO, a new flea and tick treatment for dogs in the UK. It is the first flea and tick treatment available as a chewable tablet in the Over-The-Counter (OTC) market, sold through a Suitably Qualified Person (SQP). 

FRONTPRO is currently available through e-retailers including Pet Drugs Online and Animed, as well as through the Pets at Home website.

FRONTPRO delivers a fast and lasting effect, protecting dogs from fleas and ticks for one month. It kills fleas within eight hours, before they lay eggs, which prevents household infestations. FRONTPRO is recommended for all breeds aged eight weeks or older (weighing two kilograms or more) and can be given with or without food.

"Preventative care is crucial for pet health. This new beef-flavoured, chewable tablet offers our customers an effective new option to protect their dogs from fleas and ticks and supports proactive pet health management," said Sarah Page-Jones, Lead Veterinary Surgeon at Pet Drugs Online.

"Boehringer Ingelheim is committed to expanding access to high-quality parasite prevention for dogs, which is why we’re proud to introduce an effective new option,” said a company spokesperson. 

"FRONTPRO chewable tablets provide effective protection from fleas and ticks, while complementing the regular care and advice pet owners receive from their veterinarians."

Boehringer Ingelheim, the maker of FRONTLINE, has introduced FRONTPRO as an innovative expansion of the FRONTLINE product family.
