Can I save leftover Frontline Plus if I bought the wrong size for my dog?

I bought my dog the Frontline Plus for a 89-220 pound dog, but he is only 35 pounds. Can I put it in a vial and save what I do not use?

Ideally, you should return the product and exchange it for the appropriate size based on your dog's current weight. Manufacturer's packaging protects the product from 2 important things: light and air. Drugs and insecticides can be destroyed and rendered ineffective if mishandled. Keep in the syringe, expel all bubbles, and store in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration is ideal, but under the sink or other ‘chemical repository’ is ok. Airtight tupperware is best as some of these insecticides are volatile. [Revolution](https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/selamectin) is very volatile and must be stored chilled once packaging is breached. Do not freeze. [Frontline Plus](https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/frontline) (Fipronil & (s)-methoprene), use the following guidelines: The dose is 0.0305ml/pound. Multiply 0.0305 times your pet’s weight for dose (package instructions) Dogs 11-22 pounds - 0.67ml 0.6ml for 20lbs 0.75 for 25lbs Dogs 23-44 pounds - 1.34ml 0.9ml for 30lbs 1.5 for 50 lbs Dogs 45-88 pounds - 2.68ml 1.8ml for 60lbs 2.68 for 88lbs Dogs 89-132 pounds - 4.0ml 2.7ml for 90lbs 4.0 for 133lbs
