Reviews of products of the French brand
During the warm period I always use Frontline drops for your doggie. For all the time of application, there were no complaints about the quality and efficiency.
Yana, Voronezh
My pregnant cat managed, without leaving the balcony, to pick up fleas. I had to buy Frontline drops. This is one of the few products that can be used during pregnancy. The kittens were born healthy, so I don’t regret the money spent.

Spray Frontline acquired for a newborn puppy. We were going to spend a few days outside the city and really wanted to take the crumbs with us.The amount of protective equipment for such babies can be counted on the fingers, so there was not much choice. The spray was tested perfectly.
