According to a survey conducted by Business Insider, “An average full-time American employee spends approximately 1700 hours per year in office.” Now considering that you are a pet owner and also a pet owner it is quite a task to manage your work priority and also your pet at the same time. It is not possible for you to be there with your pet 24 x 7 with your pet since you need to pay off bills by working. Hence, there is a need to keep your pooch occupied while you are away working in office. There are certain ways to ensure that your pooch does not miss you while you are away on duty: 

• Take your pooch on a 20 minute walk:
  Agreed you are busy but before you leave your four-legged friend alone it is always a great start of the day by starting with an exercise schedule. This will not only keep you fit but also expend the excess energy in your pooch. This will work in your favor as the pet will not have enough energy to spoil your couch cushions. If you have a terrier or a retriever you should take him out for 45-60 minutes in the morning and at least 30-45 minutes in the evening.
  
  But it is not always possible to spend an hour in the morning with your dog hence, the best thing would be to take your pooch on a 20 minute walk and then see how he keeps up in your absence. You can even consult with your dog veterinarian about the amount of exercise required by your pet. If he is a couch potato then the level of exercising would increase considerably.
  
  
• Leave toys and treats for your pooch to enjoy:
  If you are not a keen morning walker then the best possible solution to drain out the excess energy in the dog is to provide them the access to hollow pet toys and treats with stuffing of peanut butter or put kibble and wet food inside and stick it in the freezer. Take it out in the morning and your pooch will have a great time attempting to thaw the food inside. There are lots of toys and treats available online which can work as a great incentive to keep your pooch active.
  
  
• Make the dog hunt his meals by hiding stuffed food puzzle toys in the house:
  This is a great way to ensure that your dog remains busy while you are away working in office. You can do this by scattering a couple of kibbles in areas where the pooch hangs out throughout the day. This way they will have a great time in finding out treats to eat. You can even hide one of their favorite meals or puzzle toy so that they can have a great time when you are not around and they associate it with a positive emotion rather than a negative one.
  
  
• Bring home another furry friend to accompany your pooch:
  This is a personal decision which can be taken only when you are prepared for another pet. If you are game for it then the very first thing to do is ensure that the new pet is healthy, has been vaccinated and vetted. Also ensure that the new pet gets along with the pooch. This will ensure that your pooch is never alone when you are away and they can have a gala of a time with the new pet around.
  
  

• Switch on the television:
  Play Animal Planet station on your TV and up the volume. The amazing sights and sounds of animals will keep the pooch’s brain stimulated. It will also ensure that they are busy throughout the day without getting themselves into trouble.

Though Frontline Plus has consistently been the best selling product and a trusted flea tick control on our online store since a few dozen months, now-a-days we are seeing much of the negative reviews about Frontline Plus on other stores and among users of some external pet supply vendors.

To find out the true reason behind the failure of Frontline Plus for dogs, we decided to conduct a survey of Frontline Plus customers from around the world and In our customer survey, we found that one of the most prominent reasons behind Frontline Plus not working well is the product itself.

In most of the cases Frontline Plus did not work well because it was fake. This is why we found it quite necessary to publish a concise guide about identifying counterfeited Frontline Plus. By learning the identification of counterfeited Frontline Plus, you can save your dear dog from getting adverse effects of the treatment. 

Frontline Plus is sold in a carton and it is very difficult for normal users to distinguish the counterfeit products from EPA-registered products as they look quite alike. 

Checkout the following guidelines to identify whether the product you have bought is legitimate or not: 

1. The instruction leaflet should be inside and should be including-- emergency U.S. contact numbers, first-aid statements, precautions for pets and pet parents, directions for use & storage and disposal instructions. 

2. The batch number/ lot number on carton matches the lot number on the applicator and the applicator package.

3. The pesticide is contained in an applicator package, which is child-resistant. The directions for opening the child- resistant applicator package include an illustration that actually looks like the applicator package. The directions include "To remove applicator, use scissors or lift and remove plastic tab to expose foil, then pull down."

4.  In original Frontline Plus applicator, there will be the notch between the individual applicator packages, which is generally absent on counterfeit products. Text on the package is in English only.

5. Once you open the applicator package, each individual applicator has a label that includes the registrant's name "Merial;" the product name; the EPA registration number (see list above); the net contents in fluid ounces (fl. oz.) (not in metric measure, i.e., ml); percentage (%) of active ingredient(s) (fipronil for Frontline Top Spot products; and fipronil and (S)-methoprene for Frontline Plus products); and the statements "CAUTION," "Keep out of reach of children," and "See full label for additional directions." Text is in English only.

If your purchase fails to meet any of these criteria, avoid using your Frontline Plus. Contact your seller or report it and dispose it properly to save other humans and pets from its side-effect.
