NO, this is really dangerous for the dog. Frontline for 40lb dogs is 4x as strong as Frontline for 10lb dogs, and the increased dosage is poisonous to the dog.
I would not recommend it. I do know you should never put the canine Frontline on a cat. You should use the canine Frontline for the dog according to his weight and the same for a cat, use feline Frontline only. Why mix them?
No. Frontline products should be used on the specified species. This is because one of the main components of Frontline, S-Methoprene is needed in a higher dose in cats. This is because it does not last as long in a cat than in a dog. So, if you used Frontline for dogs on your cat, it may not be as effective. However, this higher dose is still safe to use on a dog - so you could use Frontline for cats on a dog.
Any breed of dog can have Frontline.
Frontline by itself should be sufficient to deal with your cat or dog's flea problem. Using a flea bath will reduce the effectiveness of the Frontline (you should only wash your dog with a gentle shampoo to maintain Frontline's protection).
Once a dog is 8 weeks old, you can use Frontline - there is no weight requirement. There are different doses for different weights, so select the one that most closely matches your dog's weight.
If you have multiple cats, you should treat them all with Frontline Plus application at the same time. You may want to keep the separate right after the application to cut the risk of them licking the medication off each other.
One other way besides Frontline to get rid of fleas is to use PetArmor.
Yes, you can use Atopica (cyclosporine) and Frontline (fipronil) together on a dog. Atopica is used to manage allergies and skin conditions, while Frontline is an external parasite treatment for fleas and ticks. However, it’s important to consult your veterinarian before combining medications to ensure safety and effectiveness for your dog's specific health needs. Always follow the prescribed dosages and guidelines for both products.
Absolutely NOT- only use medication for dogs for dogs and medication for cats for cats!
No. The only approved flea treatement for ferrets is Revolution, which is usually available from your vet. You can use the kitten dose of Frontline to treat your ferret for fleas, just use one drop per pound of ferret. (2lb ferret= 2 drops)
At 8 weeks old, the kittens are a little too young and using Frontline flea treatment may do more harm than good. The safest method for kittens this age is to use a flea comb on all the kittens, and comb them twice a day until no adult fleas are seen.
It is recommended that you do not wash your dog for at least 48 hours after applying frontline. You should not use a harsh shampoo or a flea shampoo when you have used frontline. Washing your pet up to once a week was shown not to impact its effectiveness.
