The frontline plus chemicals have different molar concentrations for each animal. These concentration vary depending on the size of the pet and the species and so forth. You may use the same front line plus for both cats and dogs, but if you use a cat dose on a dog dose, the full effects will not be active. If you use a dog dose on a cat, the dose may be too powerful and cause damaging effects to the cat's body(blood stream, skin, fur, etc.)

Do tabby cats get along with dogs?

Only if they are used to them. My Yorkie LOVES the cat...unfortunately, the feeling is not mutual. Something about his nose up her butt seems to upset her...plus, the cat is fat and lazy, but the yorkie always wants to play. It's a good thing we got her declawed when we got her fixed! My yorkie would be all scarred up from their boxing matches!

The reason that you need to apply frontline to the shoulder blades is so that dog or cat can't lick it. Putting it on your animal's stomach where he can lick it can be dangerous to the animal.


Why do cats do what they do?

They do talk, but in a different language. Their vocal chords are different from ours and make different sounds. Plus cats don't have nearly the IQ to memorize human languages, if they could make human sounds. I don't think they'd really want to either, to be honest.

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.

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.
