Is Frontline Plus safe for my sensitive Italian Greyhound's skin?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Italian Greyhound | Male | neutered | 10 years and 1 month old | 18 lbs

My dog is an Italian Greyhound. His breed is known to be sensitive to specific types of medications. I am trying to find the safest topical flea/tick treatment for him. I used to use Advantage, but found out it doesn't guard against ticks. Do you have any recommendation for my dog? Is Frontline Plus safe for his breed?

Hello. We have used Frontline Plus & Frontline Gold on many of Italian Greyhounds & have never seen any problems. They do not seem to be any more sensitive to these products than any other breed. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
