One of the frontline products is actually safe for both cats and dogs. Which one is interchangeable?

The Frontline spray I have is safe for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. I bought it for dogs, but it doesn’t say "Frontline for dogs" on the label or anything. Just check your label, it will tell you what it’s safe for.

I found a flea on my cat last night so didn’t bother looking for more on her as it’s obvious if there is one there will be more.

Husband has got her some frontline and I wanted to know how effective it is please?

It is very effective and starts working within the next 24 hours. Your cat may scratch a bit more at first a little while after treatment but it is a good sign that it is working and by 48 hours your cat should be totally free of fleas.
Don’t forget to also treat the house too eg the carpets, cat bedding etc as any remaining eggs hide in these places and may rehatch. Vets sell the most effective sprays they are more expensive but well worth it. I find Vetkem acclaim 2000 spray very effective.

I am importing my cat and the country of import says I must use a flea medication with a specific ingredient. Google says the only flea medication with this ingredient is Frontline, but I’ve never seen this available in Canada. Is it?

just find a vet in your area (yellow pages) and ask! they usually sell that stuff. or they will be able to tell you where else you could get it. otherwise look it up on the internet and order some there. mine comes from australia, i think. there are numerous companies that will ship this anywhere you need it.

good luck,

I applied Frontlien to my two kittens on Thursday night. I also treated my house by washing everything and using a powder that u leave in ur carpet for two nights now. I love my kittens but am so afraid of touchign them b/c I have a phobia of bugs. They are feeling so neglected and I feel terrible BUT like I said, HATE bugs. When do u think they will be gone?? How can I tell for sure??

Can you use the one for small dogs on a cat?

Active ingredients

Frontline® Plus for Dogs (Orange Box)
Australian Version, NRA Approval No. 54523 0.67 mL 100 g/L Fipronil & 90 g/L (S)-Methoprene Up to 10kg

USA Version, EPA Reg. No. 65331-5 0.023 fl oz (0.67 mL) 9.8% Fipronil & 8.8% (S)-Methoprene (by weight) Up to 22 lbs

Frontline® Plus for Cats (Green Box) Dosage Active Ingredients For cats

Australian Version, NRA Approval No. 54524 0.5 mL 100 g/L Fipronil & 120 g/L (S)-Methoprene 8 weeks or older

USA Version, EPA Reg. No. 65331-4 0.017 fl oz (0.5 ml) 9.8% Fipronil & 11.8% (S)-Methoprene (by weight) 8 weeks or older

I look at the active ingredients in the product. While they have the same dosage in the Fipronil, they differ slightly in the Methoprene. They look like they are basically the same ingredients.

This is the common practice at the hospital I use and yes, they are basically the same ingredients, however the cat dose contains .5mls and the small dog, (up to 22 pounds) dose contains .67mls. Frontline is available over the counter and a lot of hospitals follow this train of thought. Ask your veterinarian, see what they advise.

Even from the information I have read, pets that were overdosed up to 5 times the required amount, showed no signs of side effects or reactions. However, some animals can have a hypersensitivy to the product so if you do try it, monitor your cat for several hours after you apply it for any signs of a allergic reaction (facial swelling, drooling, and hives).
