Can I use frontline for my dog who has chronic pancreatitis, since the company said it wont absorb to his blood and only kept under his oil gland?Would it affect his health,he does not use any medication at the moment .

For most pets with a history of pancreatitis, most flea preventives are considered safe. Frontline is likely a good option but remember that individual sensitives can always happen but are unexpected. You may double check with your normal veterinarian as well just to play it safe. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
