NO, in house tests are commonly wrong to begin with.. and for true test results on kittens from a positive momma, they need to be at least 6 months old when tested. Then retest at 9 months and at one year before making any decisions. Confirm all tests with IFA if you can afford it, but at least c

Pam, using Revolution and Frontline together (even if not dosed at the same time) is going to overdose your pets, and could kill them. I think your vet is wrong to advise this schedule. You shouldn't use one until the other has completely worn off (no coverage over-lap allowed). I called 1-800-pe
