How it works
Who it’s for
Please remember it’s always best to treat the pet according to their lifestyle. For example, dogs who go to areas where wildlife (such as foxes and hedgehogs) are found will be at higher risk than those who don’t.
FRONTLINE PLUS® for Dogs is available at Ashcroft 4 Pets, a UK-registered online pet pharmacy, in 4 different pack sizes:

Yes. POM-V items require a valid prescription from your UK vet.
Upload your prescription during checkout.
Photos must be clear. If details are wrong or expired, orders can’t be processed. This is standard across UK pet pharmacies.
No. Under UK law, vets must provide a written prescription if you request one for a POM-V medicine. They may charge a reasonable fee for issuing it, but they cannot refuse. This allows you to choose where to buy your pet’s medication, whether directly from your vet or from a registered UK pharmacy such as Ashcroft 4 Pets.
In the UK, most POM-V prescriptions are valid for 6 months, unless your vet specifies a shorter duration. Prescriptions for Schedule 2 or 3 controlled medicines are usually valid for 28 days and are not repeatable. At Ashcroft 4 Pets, we follow these same UK veterinary guidelines to ensure your pet’s medication is dispensed safely and legally.
At Ashcroft 4 Pets, we are a fully VMD-registered and accredited online retailer. This means every prescription and over-the-counter pet medicine we supply is safe, genuine, and dispensed according to UK law.
We follow all Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) rules, and our team checks every prescription carefully before processing. You can order with confidence, knowing your pet’s health is in the hands of experts and all medicines are traceable, legally supplied, and authentic.
In the UK, most repeat prescriptions for POM-V medicines are valid for up to 6 months from the date your vet issues them. You can order multiple times within this period if your vet has authorised repeats.
For controlled medicines (Schedule 2 or 3), the prescription is valid for 28 days only and cannot be repeated. These medicines are strictly regulated due to their potential for misuse.
At Ashcroft 4 Pets, we follow UK law carefully, ensuring all prescriptions are dispensed safely, legally, and in the exact amounts prescribed.
If your vet prescribes a human medicine for your pet under the Cascade, we can usually dispense against that prescription (with the right checks).
