Am I reading correctly that you are the cat formula Frontline? Just wondering, this is the first I have heard of that. Did your vet suggest this? I would not give it early without talking to your vet. BTW, Advantix only comes in Dog formula. I don't think there is one for cats.

Advantix works best for us. Though it is VERY toxic to cats, so yes, they do not have a cat formula.

Jackson got lymes disease while on Frontline. I am not very comfortable with the permithin in Advantix, though, to be honest. So I only use it during the really bad tick season (summer) and use Frontline for the rest of the year. It does seem to work for us in the cooler months, when ticks are not as bad, but still around.
