How are frontline plus for cats and dogs different?

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.)

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.
