| How much do I use? Hi all! I took Izzy in yesterday and she weighs 3.9# at 15 weeks. I got some Frontline for her. It is for dogs up to 22 lbs. NOW do I use the whole thing on her? I asked the vet and they said yes, but I just think that is to much. My Cody gets a whole one but he weighs 15# What do you guys do with your small ones? I read all the info on the Advantage so I am just scared to put a whole one on her. Any advice?

| when i get frontline for albert who goes up and down down form 2.5-3lbs my vet gives me a tiny dosage for smaller dogs. They had made a mistake and gave me the one your talking about but the assistant caught it and gave me a dosage for up to 10 lbs i believe. i wouldnt use the whole thing if i were you. jmo though. |

| No you do not have to use the entire thing. I split one between my dogs. If somone else you know has a small dog, you can share one. Since all my dogs together do not total 22 pounds, I'll split one between the 4 of them. |

| A couple of times I split a dose between my 2 yorkies but it seemed ineffective. So I started giving them the whole thing. it seems to work better for us. If you can only use half and it still work, then do that. But if it doesn't work, then don't feel bad about using the whole thing. |
