Frontline Plus Cheap and Guaranteed Authentic EPA Approved

July 1, 2009 - PRLog -- Lately, there has been a lot of talk about some online pet supplies stores and questions as to why their products are so much less. The reason is they are obtaining Frontline Plus from outside of the USA.  Their Frontline Plus for dogs and Frontline Plus for cats is not Authentic product and is not EPA approved.  

The EPA has just released this announcement:
"EPA, in cooperation with its state and regional regulatory partners, is announcing the issuance of stop sale, use, and removal orders to retailers and other distributors of certain counterfeit pesticide products for control of fleas and ticks on dogs and cats. The stop sale, use, and removal orders are intended to disrupt an effort to distribute counterfeit pet pesticides. The counterfeit pesticides appear to have been unlawfully imported and were packaged in cartons designed to look like legitimately registered pesticides available in the U.S. under the trade names "Advantage" and "Frontline." The orders prohibit retailers and other distributors from distributing or selling the counterfeit pesticide products and require their proper disposal.  The counterfeiters have placed foreign labeled applicator package inserts in counterfeited Frontline retail cartons printed to resemble the U.S. -registered products. The Frontline applicators may not be in the required child-resistant packaging. In addition to the inadequate labeling and packaging, consumers cannot be assured that the counterfeiters inserted the appropriate size applicator for the animal pictured or otherwise indicated on the retail carton of  Frontline products. So, use of the counterfeit products may put the treated pet at risk." per EPA announcement


At Mickey's Pet Supplies all the Frontline Plus for dogs and Frontline Plus for cats flea and tick control products are 100% Authentic, USA EPA approved products purchased from reputable veterinary suppliers in the USA.  It is very important that pet owners know to only buy EPA Approved products, as many foreign countries have their versions, which are not EPA approved.  They may contain illegal pesticides that can be toxic to their pets.

There are obvious differences between Authentic and counterfeit Frontline Plus.
Here are the ways to spot a counterfeit product:
The lot number on the carton will not match the lot number of the individual applicator package or pipette
The instruction leaflet may not be included or it may not have first- aid statements, including the emergency U.S. phone number, precautionary statements for humans and pets or directions for use and storage/disposal statement.
The counterfeit Frontline Plus generally does not have a notch between the individual applicator package.  The authentic Frontline Plus will have a notch between the individual applicator packages.  
Once you open the Frontline Plus applicator package, each individual pipette should have a label that included the registrant's name: "Merial", the product name, the EPA registration number, the net contents listed in ounces.  The counterfeit Frontline Plus for dogs will have the contents listed as metric measure ( ml ).  The  statements "CAUTION," Keep out of reach of children," and "See full label for additional directions." should all be in English.  The counterfeit Frontline Plus will sometimes be in another language.  
The applicator label for dog products includes the size of the dog in pounds v.s. the counterfeit product will have weight in kilograms.  
The ingredients should be percentage (%) of active ingredients fipronil and (S)-methoprene for Frontline Plus products.
We have found many online retailers that are selling counterfeit products and warn that if the price seems so unbelievably low, then it is most likely counterfeit Frontline Plus.
If you believe that there is a retailer that is selling counterfeit product, you may contact the EPA  by visiting the Agency's Web site at www.epa.gov/compliance/complaints.html
