FLEAS, ticks, lice and ear mites – these are the enemies of our furry friends and Rhone Ma Malaysia Sdn Bhd has a solution to the problem.

The animal health biologics (vaccines) trading company is introducing Frontline Combo, a product suitable for puppies and kittens aged eight weeks and above of any size.

At the product launch attended by vets from the Klang Valley recently, Rhone Ma techno-commercial executive Dr Melanie Yap explained the product.

New product: Frontline Combo is available for dogs and cats.

“Frontline Combo can kill adults, eggs, larvae and immature fleas, ticks, lice and mites, thus breaking the life cycle completely,” she said.

Dr Yap also mentioned that the product is safe for cats and dogs of any physiological stage, including pregnancy and lactation.

Malaysian Animal-Assisted Therapy Association president Anthony Thanasayan shared his experience of using Frontline products at the event.

“For some of the disabled and the elderly, pets give them a reason to live.

“I have three dogs that really changed my life, but the tick problem was a tough one when it comes to taking care of them,” he said.

He added that Frontline had helped him tackle the problem with its many benefits and he does not have to share his bed with ticks anymore.

Frontline Combo is available at veterinary clinics only. For more information, call 03-7873 7355.
