  I understand that Frontline is toxic to rabbits and that it shouldn’t be use it on them. My question is should I be concerned with transference from other animals to my home and rabbits? I have friends who treat their dogs with Frontline, and I’m starting work at a kennel where I’ll be in contact with many cats and dogs that may or may not be treated with Frontline. Would this be a potential problem for my buns?

  Possibly. I have heard of instances where cats and dogs in the same household as a bunny have been treated with frontline, and this affects the bunny. However, since your bunnies will only be in direct contact with you and not other animals that have been treated, I think that if you change clothes and wash your hands after interacting with frontline-treated animals and before touching your bunnies or anything they interact with, your bunnies should not be in any danger.
  
  Glad to hear you will be helping out in a shelter!

  I think washing your hands will be fine, particularly if the dog in question was treated recently and still has a wet spot. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be overly paranoid. Direct contact would be the real danger.

  I agree. Wash your hands well. I would change my clothes too, just because I tend to be a bit paranoid with stuff like that.

  If you’re going to be working at a kennel, there are many things you may come in contact with that could potentially be dangerous. I think changing clothes/washing hands when you get home would be a good habit to get into.

  Thanks everyone for the tips! I’ll definitely be washing my hands and changing clothes after work.
