Re: Advantage/FrontLine
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 we've found for the shelter (150-200 animals) is to purchase the very largest dog size and divide it into smaller doses for the cats and smaller dogs. It comes in packages of 3, 6, 9 or 12 tubes. The med is squeezed on the animal--in between their shoulder blades. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 12:12 AM Subject: Advantage/FrontLine Hey guys, Quick question...I've heard a couple of you on here mention you use the advantage or frontline for dogs on your cats to save money, can someone fill me in on how you do this?

Re: Advantage/FrontLine
Hi Michael, You can also get the Frontline or Advantage through www.lambriarvet.com www.revivalanimal.com At this point,I would say either Frontline or Advantage, but it's good torotate themevery few months because the fleas do build up an immunity to the formulas. If you get the biggest dog size they have, you can break it down for your cats by drawing up what you actually need intoa syringe (wiothout the needle) and placing it on the cat behind it's neck (so it cannot lick it). Let me know if you get the big dog size I willsend you the correct kitty amount. Susan J.

Re: Advantage/FrontLine
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 don't fuss at all as they did when I used the applicator provided by Merial. Linda Choose the right car based on your needs. Check out Yahoo!

Re: Advantage/FrontLine
Both Advantage and Frontline Plus for dogs are the same ingredients at the same strength as they are for cats. You just buy the ones for the largest dogs and put it into a very small container and use a small eyedropper or plastic syringe (without needle and use the regular amount for a cat dose. For Frontline Plus a cat dose is .5 mg or .5 cc. so a vial for the largest dog does 8 cats. Also, if you want to do this one a regular basis, buy it online from Austrailia and it is much cheaper.

Re: Advantage/FrontLine
Thanks for all the info guys!? One more question...if I buy the largest dose to treat? 4 cats, how long will the other four doses in the tube last after its been opened? Would it be wasted, or could I draw it into a syringe or something and keep it until their next dose is due?? Not sure whether to buy a smaller amount that will dose four times, or get the large one and save it. ?

Re: Advantage/FrontLine
I've never had any luck saving it. I tried putting it in baby food jars, etc. It evaporates fast. Maybe someone else has a better idea. Our low cost vet clinic keeps it in a ...oh I don't know what to call those things. The plastic containers you put mustard and ketchup in and take to picnics, except it is clear. I doubt they have to save it for long either, though. On 9/4/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for all the info guys!

Re: Advantage/FrontLine
I put mine in an amber colored vial which I bought on ebay. It holds approximately 10 ml of fluid and has a sealed lid. So far it's worked well for me.

Re: Advantage/FrontLine
My experience: Frontline caused a severe allergic reaction in my Winston. He was severely itchy and rolling back for months. I won't use it again.

I squeeze mine into a small brown glass bottle w/a snaptype to. The opening will exactly fit a 1cc syringe. I getmy bottles here in Austin @ People's Pharmacy,not sure where you can get yours there.
