All cats and dogs are vulnerable to flea infestation, even if they are walked on a lead or live indoors (people can walk fleas into a home on their clothing). Dogs and cats get infested with fleas through contact with an infested environment ( a home, park, garden, wood…), not through contact with other infested pets. Ongoing, regular protection from flea infestations with regular applications of FRONTLINE® SPOT ON is essential in order to be protected from a flea infestation.
