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.

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 frontline for cats on your small dog?
Frontline, Revolution and Advantage can all be safely used on cats and dogs interchangeably, as the ingredients are identical, you just need to know the correct doses. Frontline Plus for Dogs contains (fipronil 9.8% and S-methoprene 8.8%) whereas Frontline Plus for Cats contains (fipronil 9.8% and S-methoprene 11.8%) Dogs are given a dose of 0.067ml of Frontline solution per kilogram of bodyweight. So a 10.0kg dogs need a dose of 0.67ml an 6.0kg dog only really needs 0.40ml ALL cats are given a set dose of 0.50ml The Frontline Plus for cats formula contains exactly the same concentration of Fipronil (the main ingredient which kills fleas, ticks, and lice) as the Frontline Plus for dogs formula. The only difference is the cat version contains 3% MORE of the ingredient methoprene than the dog formula. Giving your dog a tiny 3% more methoprene will not harm it. Look up the toxixity of methoprene online for yourself and see. Methoprene simply acts as a juvenile hormone analogue in fleas, it keeps the fleas "young". The flea larvae are prevented from completing the metamorphosis into adults and subsequently die. Note: Not all dog and cat medications are interchangeable. You could poison your pet if you don't do your research first.
