Dog sized Frontline?

catnipwhiskers · Apr 29, 2006

I have two cats and a tight budget. A while ago we had a a vet come to the house (we only do housecall vets) and she suggested getting the dog Frontline and giving cat-sized doses to our cats. It works well, and spreads out far.

Does anyone else do this?

No, but I know of some who do it with advantage.

I dose 11 cats with one large vial of dog Advantage. It is WAY cheaper than 11 vials of cat Advantage!! LOL

I do the same, with Dog Revolution, with no problems.

I have used dog advantage and frontline with the vets blessing. I didnt' know if Revolution could be done that way or not and am glad to hear it's ok since I rather prefer that.
I just wish I'd known about this a long time ago.

I am obviously mistaken on my thoughts, however I did think that the canine and feline Advantage were 2 different ingredients that shouldn't be given to the opposite animal. Did they change the ingredients, or have I just been mistaken the entire time?
I called Revolution to make sure that I used the correct amount on our kittens/cats. They were very helpful.

Advantage has two different products for dogs. One is called something like K-9 Advantix and that cannot be used on cats, but the regular Advantage can.

My vet gives me a large dog sized Frontline for my 5 and one vial is enough to do all of them - way cheaper!

hi, i have 19 kitties and 2 dogs and i have been splitting advantage for years and it works great, I can do everyone with 3 tubes, if I did not do this there is no way I could afford 1 tube each
