I just did a search on yahoo, and I couldn't find anything but rave reviews of Advantage. The only warning I could find was one that said people in Florida were reporting problems with an Advantage "look-a-like", which had an additional ingredient in it which was very bad for cats. Perhaps the...

I don't have the print out from the vet in front of me, but as I recall, the number of reported deaths was quite small. 25 or so? If your kitties haven't had any problems so far, then I wouldn't stress about it. You just might want to get more info about Advantage before applying it again. The...

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has any info on a vaccine for FIV? The last time I was at the vet, it was offered. My friend is a vet tech at Cornell and she hasn't heard of one being available that she would consider safe enough for her kitties.

My vet always has a bunch of informational pamphlets / printouts on the check out counter. When I was there this past Friday, there was one on Advantage. It stated that my vet will no longer be carrying Advantage because of a number of reported kitty deaths and serious side effects that have...

I finally got a chance to try out the spray today. I didn't get the bitter apple as it had alcohol in it, which I didn't think would be too good for some of my more delicate plants. Petco had an alcohol free bitter spray, so I got that instead. I took the plants outside to spray, so no worries...

Hello. I was wondering if using bitter apple spray on my houseplants will also make my kitty avoid the cat grass I bought her? Is it just the taste that is repellant, or is it also the smell? My situation is such that the plants, incuding the cat grass, are all on the same window shelf, and I...
