In Reply to: Can Frontline for dogs be used on cats? - Would it hurt them?

I use my little dog's frontline on my cats. Just make sure you take into consideration the size difference. My dog is 18 pounds, so I would split one of his tubes between 2 of my cats.

I know this is an old message, but if someone else drops in here to get advice:


I'm a chemist and I have an incredibly good vet and both of us have done our research.   My veterinarian actually sells me Frontline PLUS for large dogs.  It was their idea as cost effective since I have four cats. The Vet recommended the following dosage:  1/2 cc (mL) per cat, unless the cat is huge. 


My Maine Coon (13+ lbs) gets 1 whole CC. 


We have been doing this for years with absolutely no ill effects.  Two of my cats suffer from flea allergies and I start buying this stuff in March and keep it on them till November.


The difference is that Frontline has the exact same ingredients whether it is for Cats or for Dogs.  OTHER FLEA TREATMENTS do not.  Advantix is a great example, containing a compound that is extremely poisonous to cats (causes seizures and can lead to death).


Can Frontline for dogs be used on cats?

Am short on cash right now and my two cats are needing treatment.  Don't want to make them sick and figure that is why cats cannot use dog flea remedies.  Wanted to see if anyone had ever done this.  I don't want to take any chances with Charles and Cali <meow>


Thanks !!!


URGENT: I called Frontline myself and they said NO, sm

they do not recommend using the dog formula on cats.  You have to use the cat formula.  In other words, they take no responsibility for off-label use as they call it.  Not using the product as directed.  Sorry to be a budinsky, but this is scary stuff.


I thought we were talking about Frontline here. NM

Get Frontline for cats from that entirelypets.com - much cheaper - nm

Did anyone watch Frontline last night? I will NEVER shop in Wal-Mart again.
Cheap prices will not mean a thing if the middle class U.S. population is out of work.  I'd rather see my neighbors with a job and pay Target prices
Agree with Romey. I use dog Frontline - split one tube between my 4 cats.

My cat veterinarian authorized us to use cat Frontline on our 5-pound tiny toy poodle
She said it goes by size and he's the size of a small cat.
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
