Frontline plusQ: I have a inside pomarian. he is full grown and weighs 4 pounds. my vet put him on frontline top spot, but i feel since he is a inside dog that the frontline plus would be better. my vet does not carry frontline plus. do they have that in his size. i see it for my bigger dog. A: If you dog is an inside dog he doesn't need the frontline plus. at his weight you cannot use it on him. the topspot should be fine.
