Can you use frontline for cats on dogs?
Frontline for cats and dogs are chemically very similar. Frontline Plus for cats contains 100g/L fipronil and 120g/L methoprene. For dogs Frontline Plus contains 100g/L fipronil and 90g/L methoprene. As such, using the dog version on a cat would result in a higher dose of fipronil and lower dose of methoprene. Fipronil is an insecticide which disrupts insects central nervous systems, and is the portion which kills adult insects. Methoprene is an insecticide which disrupts the reproductive process, preventing larvae from growing into adults. The reason for the variation between the formulas is not clear, and there is not sufficient unbiased and non-anecdotal data to say what effects such slight mis-dosing can cause to the pets.
Can you use fiproguard for dogs on cats?
Yes you can, as the ingredients are identical in the dog and cat versions. Cats require a smaller dose of 0.50ml FIPROGUARD is the same thing as FRONTLINE. Frontline PLUS/Fiproguard PLUS for Dogs contains (fipronil 9.8% and S-methoprene 8.8%) whereas Frontline PLUS/Fiproguard PLUS for Cats contains (fipronil 9.8% and S-methoprene 11.8%) Pets are given a minimum dose of 0.067ml of Fiproguard solution per kilogram of bodyweight. So a 10kg Dog needs a dose of 0.67ml Cats are given a set dose of 0.50ml (assuming the cat is no heavier than 7.5kg) Frontline PLUS/Fiproguard PLUS for Dogs contains exactly the same concentration of Fipronil (the main ingredient which kills fleas, ticks, and lice) as the Frontline Plus for Cats formula. The only difference is the Dog version contains a tiny 3% LESS of the ingredient methoprene than the cat formula. It should not be any less effective as it's just an insect growth regulator.
