Highlighted Reviews
"I have always had a great experience with Frontline products. I once switched on my vet’s recommendation and it was like the ticks thought she was candy (we lived in 6 acres and 2 of those were woods) switch back to Frontline and I would find the dead ticks I missed on her bed. Hands down the best..."
"Used this on my dogs as instructed, and they all still got fleas which also spread to my indoor cat. Frontline Plus for cats didn’t work either because we were treating our cat as well and he still got them. Would not recommend or repurchase."
Bottom Line
Although some users find Frontline Gold effective, the variation in results means buyers should be cautious and perhaps consider alternatives if initial results are unsatisfactory. Users in distinct geographic contexts report varying effectiveness, complicating its suitability as a one-size-fits-all solution.
