| Can we use Frontline for cats? Just wondering if we should use this due to the weight issue with our tiny ones. Delilah weighs 2 lbs.

| I have no idea. I know you can't use the dog one on cats but I'm not sure about the other way around. I'd go to the frontline website and find their contact info...call or e-mail them to find out. What about trying a different flea preventative like Advantage? They have a <10lbs dose. That's what I use on Lacy. There is a new flea preventative coming out called Promeris. I'm supposed to be getting some for free soon. I'm not sure what the weights are for that product though.

| I get the Frontline spray. It's safe for both dogs and cats. I like the fact that you can customize the dosage by pound. It's just as effective as the spot on and way less expensive. http://www.entirelypets.com/frontlinespray.html |

| If you check the ingredients, the cat one is stronger than the dog. I had bought a bunch of frontline for the dogs and started using it on the cat. It works better on the cat than it did the dogs, they are on advantage now. I've been using it on my cat for the past 3 or 4 months with no problem but I wouldn't put the cat one on the dog because , i think it's the methoprene, is stronger in the cat one than the dog
