How long does Frontline Plus take to dry before I can pet my dog?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 50 lbs

Just recently purchased frontline plus for the first time. How long does it take to dry. I read 30-45 minutes and then you can play and pet. Others said don’t even touch your dog for 48 hours

In most cases, it will dry in an hour or two. It is best to avoid contact with the area though until it has dried. You may notice a "greasy" spot at the site of application for a few days after. This is normal and will resolve.
