We use Frontline on all the shelter cats and dogs. My vet likes it because it
works on both. It costs less if you buy it on line. I use 1800PetMeds.com.
Can't speak for Advantage but Frontline comes in a bunch of sizes for
dogs--depending upon the size of the animal. The cheapest way
I am against testing cats. I used to work at the shelter, and it is really a
way to cull the population. Plus, if a cat tests negative at a shelter and is
then still kept in cages, cat rooms, etc... with other cats. it could still
wind up positive.

The Frontline Plus dosage is .5 ml for cats/kittens
over 8 weeks of age. I use a small glass vial to hold
the liquid and a syringe to apply the Frontline Plus.
The application works great with the syringe. My cats

I used to work in a shelter too, and we did not test to cull the cats.
We tested because it was the responsible thing to do.

Yes, I read the article,and their biggest reason was the cost.
It's irresponsible to not test a cat prior to adoption, if nothing else, you
will know it was neg/ neg @ the time of testing,can be retested later.
So,if you are adopting out cats and charging a fee, what exactly would the
fee
Andalso, from having worked as a clinic nurse in a shelter, it doesn't take
that long to test cats.
It's part of the work upprocess, meaning all cats /kittens that were moved

health eval.

It also comes in a sardine formula.

I don't feed my cats beef. Fear of mad cow. Probably irrational. Dr. Lisa or

People on this list have very different ideas as to whether or not to let
