Your dog might have fleabite syndrome, or some kind of exzema. See a vet, and be honest about what your dog is eating - for example, sweet treats can cause exzema. Meanwhile, treat your home for fleas (flea-bombs are good, just keep the dog and family out of the house for the recommended period). Use flea powder on floors and vacuum daily; also treat garden areas where your dog likes to relax. Do remember that while cats don't exhibit such extreme flea symptoms as dogs they are great flea-factories. Treat your cat, or visiting cats, with powder as well. It is important, though, to see the vet and be certain there's no other underlying cause to the itching. One thing you can do: look at any fleas you can isolate and check their size. If they are all tiny it could mean the adults are dead and the hatchlings are doomed. Your vet can discuss this with you. Don't leave your dog in distress. You can choose to visit a doctor, but your dog cannot.

What happens if you apply front line and the dog starts rolling around?
That means its working. My dog had fleas and when I applied the Frontline, she did the same thing, because the Frontline was killing the fleas and they were running all over the place, and itching my dog. If this is the first time giving your dog Frontline, make sure he/she is ok, and isn't having any kind of allergic reaction, and as long as its not causing any discomfort or concern, she is fine.
Can i use frontline for a 40pound dog on a 10 pound dog?
NO, this is really dangerous for the dog. Frontline for 40lb dogs is 4x as strong as Frontline for 10lb dogs, and the increased dosage is poisonous to the dog.
Can you put Frontline for cats and Frontline for dogs together on your dog?
I would not recommend it. I do know you should never put the canine Frontline on a cat. You should use the canine Frontline for the dog according to his weight and the same for a cat, use feline Frontline only. Why mix them?
How many days should you wait to give dog a bath after frontline?

A dog should not get sick from the recommended dose of Frontline. It would need over 50 doses for a toxic affect to be expected.

The dog has to be at least 3 months old.
Can you use a flea collar while using frontline on your dogs?
Frontline by itself should be sufficient to deal with your cat or dog's flea problem. Using a flea bath will reduce the effectiveness of the Frontline (you should only wash your dog with a gentle shampoo to maintain Frontline's protection).
What happens if a dog eats Frontline?
Frontline has been tested for toxicity - and a dose much higher than the usual application (over 20 times), even if ingested, is needed before signs of toxicity are detected. You may notice some salivation because of the taste. Therefore there should not be any problems if your dog licks some of the Frontline off. Also, since Frontline is not stored on the surface of the skin, it would only be possible for the dog to lick it off immediately after application. If you notice your dog looks unwell and you are concerned - call or visit you vet.
What can you do for itching puppy skin after they have been treated for fleas and worms?
You can get some medication that you put in water to dip the dog.

Once a dog is 8 weeks old, you can use Frontline - there is no weight requirement. There are different doses for different weights, so select the one that most closely matches your dog's weight.
Can you kill your dog if you put to much frontline?
Dogs need more than 50 times the recommended dose of Frontline before having a toxic affect. Therefore it is highly unlikely that putting on too much Frontline will kill your dog. The recommended dosage should be more than adequate to kill the fleas on your dog.
