I'm not sure that fleas can become immune to meds.  The ones who are on the cat 
die.  The ones who hatch from the floor jump on the cat, die.  The ones who lay 
eggs are apparently still alive so how can they become immune to a product?  
Unless Super Flea survives the treatment and goes on to reproduce.  But it's 
probably a good idea to switch products any way.  Some are good for treating 
heavy flea infestations (Frontline Plus) and some have mange, worm prevention 
also, Revolution.  I have not had good results with Revolution on fleas 
although it's great for preventing mange and sometimes reducing infestation of 
earmites.  I find that Advantage is also good for heavy flea infestation but I 
haven't tried it yet.  I have Frontline Plus right now and am on my way to 
treat the little lions, tigers and panthers.


 
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors 
too!

Well I Googled before & did again. The only thing I can find is that some cats 
are more prone to Moxidectin toxicity, which is why you have to be so careful 
about dosages.
The Multi formula has meds for fleas - Imidacloprid & heartworm larvae - 
Moxidectin

Either way the dog Multi has bit had much effect on my cats this year. I've 
heard some people say you should switch products periodically to keep the fleas 
from becoming immune to the
 meds.

It's been a while since I read that about the dog Multi, however I doubt 
they've changed ingredients.  I can't remember what ingredient it is in the dog 
multi that's bad for cats.  I found the info online though so I know it's out 
there.  Maybe what I read was wrong though.  Find out what ingredient is bad 
and ask your vet if he knows the dog multi has that ingredient in there and 
tell him someone told you it was bad for cats.  I'd go back and look it up if I 
had time but I've got to get back to work cause the CPAs will be here Monday to 
audit the books for my company.

Also - don't get Advantage Multi for Dogs and break it down for cats.  Regular 
Advantage for dogs is okay to break down for cats but don't use the "Multi."  
Some extra ingredient in there is bad news for cats.  Obviously the cat "Multi" 
is okay.
