Before moving on, we’ll leave you with the comments of ASPCA veterinary toxicologist and senior vice president for animal health services, Dr. Steven Hansen following a 2009 study: Fipronil is used in many different anti-bug products, such as pesticides for your lawn or for farmers’ fields. Pesticides may sound like something that you want to keep away from your pet, but don’t worry — scientists generally agree that topically applied fipronil is safe for dogs. The NPIC reports similar information on s-methoprene – while consumption in large doses for people is unwise, the occasional brush with the product is not generally cause for concern.However, the scientists performing this study didn’t compare Frontline with any other flea treatments. Bathing/shampooing/water exposure does not affect the efficacy of the product as long as it doesn’t occur more than once a week. This chemical basically goes undercover and acts like a growth hormone to fleas and other insects – but instead of accelerating affecting growth, it stops the biting bug’s development cold.
