What is PetArmor® (Generic to Frontline® Top Spot®)?

As seen on TV, PetArmor® is a flea and tick preventative that works just like Frontline® Top Spot®. It contains the same active ingredient, fipronil, as Frontline® Top Spot® and protects pets for 30 days against pesky fleas and ticks. PetArmor® comes in an easy-to-use, squeeze on applicator and is waterproof after 24 hours of application.

Not only does PetArmor® kill fleas and ticks, but it also kills chewing lice and controls mites that may cause sarcoptic mange.

For: Dogs and puppies (8 weeks of age and older)
Cats and kittens (8 weeks of age and older)

How it works:
Just like Frontline® Top Spot®, PetArmor® is specifically formulated to kill fleas and ticks per your pet's weight. So picking the right package is important in getting complete protection for your pet. The main ingredient fipronil, also found in Frontline® Top Spot®, is a broad-spectrum insecticide that disrupts the central nervous system of fleas and ticks. Once PetArmor® is applied, the fipronil spreads by a process called translocation. It is gradually spread by your pet's natural oils, accumulating in the oil glands and absorbed into the hair and skin. It then kills adult fleas and ticks within 24 hours. PetArmor® works best when your pet's skin is in optimal condition.

Cautions:
For external use only. Do not use PetArmor® on Rabbits or other animals. Use only one pipette per application and do not reapply sooner than 4 weeks. Keep out of reach of children.
