Our vet advised us to wait till he was out on his walks etc, ie after all his injections.

We applied Frontline spot on to William for the first time this weekend, he is 14 weeks of age. We used the 1-10 kg  small dog weight size, William is now 8kg. Frontline say it is ok for dogs over 8 weeks.

No adverse effects apparent.
