Frontline Plus kills fleas and ticks by causing hyperactivity in parasites. As soon as Frontline Plus takes effect on the treated dog, fleas and ticks become hyperactive which can cause excessive scratching. However, it should settle down 24 hours post-application if caused by fleas and/or ticks. If scratching persists, talk to a vet to find out the underlying cause.
