Can you get poisoned from frontline plus for cats?
Frontline plus is very safe for both dogs and cats. Cats need about 20 times the recommended dose to have any sort of toxic affect. It should not be toxic to humans either, as the mechanism of fipronil and (S)-methoprene (the active ingredients) are targeted at fleas. However, it would not be wise to ingest it or use it on a human.

Can you use derbac on dogs?
You could, but there is no reason to. Derback is used to kill head lice, and there is no evidence that dogs can carry lice. If you intend to use it on fleas or ticks, well good luck. It likely won't work. What will work is to rub your dog down with cut oranges, lemons, limes, or grapefruit. It seems fleas and ticks hate citris, and citris is relatively benign for use on dogs. DO NOT use this home remedy on cats however.

Will having your pet dipped keep fleas off the pet?
The fleas hate the smell so it should help for the most part. 2nd Answer: Flea Dips will only keep off the fleas for about 5-7 days at the most. You should use a monthly topical application such as Frontline or Advantix. You just apply it to the skin once a month and it will kill and repel all fleas & ticks. You need to reapply it once a month. You can find these products at the larger Pet Stores or Feed Stores or at your Veterinarian. These products work very well at killing and keeping off all ticks & fleas which in turn also help to keep your pet free from certain types of internal worms, such as tapeworms which are carried by fleas. Don't forget about preventing Heartworms too. You need to have your pet tested first by your Veterinarian to make sure it is free of heartworms before you start the once a month preventative.
