Frontline for dogs (for my cats!)
Marcia Van Horn
Just thought I'd let you know (if you don't already) that you can save
money on Frontline by using the dog product on your cats. I have seven
cats and I get 5 applications of Frontline out of each vial of
Frontline Top Spot for 45-88 lb.dogs. I called the manufacturer to make
sure each had the same concentration and they do. The dog product can
be used on the cat.
The cat product is 0.5 ml per pipette.
The dog product is 2.68 ml per pipette.
So I get 15 cat doses out of each 3 pipette dog pack for $28 as opposed
to only 3 cat doses out of each 3 pipette cat pack for $25. That's
$1.86 vs $8.33 per dose.
Now I have enough money to buy litter.
My vet's not going to like this.

Do you draw out the appropriate dosage with a syringe or just guess? I
for one am going to consult with my vet before trying this method,
tempting as it is. I would not want to overdose.
Frontline has two other advantages over Advantage: it is water-resistant
(for those who insist on letting their cats outside) and can be used on
younger animals (3 months minimum). Right now, we are using Advantage on
the household and defleaing newly captured rescues right at the vets. I
just may consider buying some Frontline, especially for the ferals that
are processed and returned to the field.
