Frontline is safe for puppies that are 6 months of age. You did not clarify if she used Frontline spray or Frontline spot on. If she used Frontline spray and it could have gotten in Fluffy's eyes, then Fluffy needs to see a vet immediately. The spray can cause damage to the eyes and is very painful. If it was Frontline spot on, then I would not expect that to be a problem, but I would be concerned if Fluffy could have gotten soap in his eyes from the bath which is also very irritating and painful and should be treated by a veterinarian in case he has developed corneal ulcerations. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
