| Frontline Question I was just wondering if anyone uses only half of the frontline pipettes on their yorkies? Only my babies are due for some soon and I always think that because the small dog one treats dogs up to 10kg (20lbs) it must be an awful lot for even the 7ish pound yorkies. |

| Well, vets say to use the whole thing. I don't know... I use the Frontline Plus where you measure it out in a syringe and I do not use the whole amount on my 3+ pounder. I do use more on the other girls who are bigger. |

| my dogs are 9 and 12 pounds. I used 1/2 a tube on each the first month and they did ok. Next month I tried 1/2 again, and they still had flea's. I bought another tube and applied it 2 weeks later. So for me, it worked once and failed once.

YT Addict | I don't know. I tried applying only half to Teddy and I would notice he would still itch. So the next month I applied the more than half to him, and he is without fleas. I haven't measured it out however, but I can eyeball it pretty good, to make sure he is given the right amount. all that talking and still haven't answered your question. i guess it just depends on you, and what you are most comfortable giving your dog.

| I use the whole tube on Gracie. I apply every 6 weeks. She weighs just under 6 lbs. My vet said to use the whole thing. She has never had a flea.
