ok, i keep all my old used packaging. and i’m comparing cat frontline plus (includes flea, ticks and lice control) to dog (45-88pounds) frontline plus. Same active ingredients in slightly different amounts. FPlus for cats is fipronil 9.8% and (S)-methoprene 11.8%, inert ingredients 78.4% whereas Dog FPlus is fipronil 9.8% and (S)-methoprene 8.8% which is slightly LESS, and 81.4% inert ingredients. So I am guessing, GUESSING, that if given the right dosage, it might be safe. But has anyone out there tried the F.PLUS on a 10lb cat safely. Some of the prior comments were unclear whether they were refering to frontline or frontline plus or the new frontline multi.
The multi’s are probably closer to Revolution which also kills a certain worm and ear mites or mange i think). Just so everyone knows, there’s Advantage brands (various ones like Advantage multi), Frontline brands (including Fplus and Fmulti), the newer Revolution, the ingestible pill one, and one i see commercials now is Pet ARmour sold at Targets. Any feedback on that one as far as cost and if it works? Just FYI, Advanage regular uses Imidacloprid and Advantage Multi uses Imidacloprid + moxidectin, both different from Frontline”s. Some control heartworm, fleas, hookworms, roundworms, ear mites. I don’t see what the flea/heartworm/mange/ear mite/nematode worm killing ingredient in Revolution is. I think it’s selamectin but that could just be the generic name. For more info on revolution http://www.revolutionpet.com 1888 revolution, made by Pfizer.
If anyone has connections to a vet willing to give true cost saving advice and repurcussions of off-use use of these meds to them, please post info… no need to name names for liability reasons as there is always a risk in altering use and dosage of medications and that’s why the companies don’t sell them in “family size” multi application jars…too risky, too many stupud people will overdose or underdose their pets and then sue them.
