Is it safe to give a cat dog frontline?

Question

We used like one percent of the whole thing but my grandma was worried it would hurt her... help! (ps we gave her a bath afterwords...!)

Answer 1

Noooooo, always give your cat products formulated for cats. never for dogs.

Answer 2

NOOOOOOOO; get the ones for cats as using the dog frontline will kill it.  Please!!!!

Answer 3

probably not a good idea but if you only gave her a little bit and washed her afterwords your cat should be okay.

Answer 4

no we use it all the time

Answer 5

we do. we have 8 cats and it is more economical that way.  we had the vet write out the exact amount  to put on each one.  but for obvious reasons you wouldnt want to put an entire vial of frontline on a small cat.  our vet gave us a small needle that attaches to a syringe, and ten we suck the desired cc into the syringe take of the needle(obviously) and apply between the shoulder blades. one box of three vials does our 8 kitties and our small dog.  and it only costs about $40 about every 6 weeks vs. well....i am not really sure, but i know it is alot cheaper.  but you have to have you cat weighed for your vet to come up with the right dosing amounts.  we have been doing this for the last 2 years and it works great. hope any of that info helped!

Answer 6

Yeah you should use only cat and kitten frontline because the dog frontline is specifically designed for different weights.

Answer 7

you can do it,BUT you MUST have the right percent,the vet broke it down for my mom cause we had so many animals,so the answer is yes but you should do some research first,and also NEVER EVER use heartz on the cat,just frontline...you have to like put it in a bottle and use a syringe to apply it to the cat,and just a little......

EDIT:you can give the cat 0.5 milliliters,or CC,but not much more,but don't wash it off or else it wont work....apply it with a small syringe....

Answer 8

The dog frontline is too strong for cats

Answer 9

You have a catdog? Cool!!  I thought Nickelodeon made that show up!

Answer 10

NO!!!

It says on the box not to use on cats!

Answer 11

frontline is fine.

Answer 12

if it was ok, they would not sell dog and cat frontline.

Answer 13

absolutly not but i do recomend the cat frontline, as it is made for cat's

Answer 14

  yes I use it all the time, I buy 1 large frontline for dogs and each cat and dog get a few drops, hasn't hurt them yet.

Answer 15

^ Lol

Answer 16

NO!!! Do NOT give a cat Frontline made for dogs.  I have heard of cases (and even saw a case while shadowing a vet in college) where the cat goes into seizures because they cannot handle the insecticides in the dog flea treatment.  It usually results in a hefty vet bill and possibly putting the cat to sleep.  It should even say on the box that you don't use it on cats.  Hopefully the bath canceled out the effects.  If the cat starts to act strange, call your emergency vet number.
