Can anyone tell me what the dosage is, in ml, for cats? My cat is
10lbs, but I'd like to know the dosage for the various pound ranges.
TIA,
cadjak

AFAIK, there is only one size for cats and it is .5 ML. I'm looking at the
directions, and it says use the whole application on both cats and kittens
(8 wks and older).

Thanks Cheryl,
We are using the Large Dog version and "carefully" measuring the
dosage down to cat levels. We just misplaced the dosage information.
.5ml is what we were using, but wanted to double check.

Is there any way to obtain this product at lower cost than what the vets are
charging for it?

you can buy it from the secondary market.. petmeds.com ebay.com etc
again, if the cost is an issue, you can buy the large dog size and split the
dose among cats. (Direct from a merial rep)

You should be using Hartz brand. Frontline Plus is highly toxic to
children and furry woodland creatures.

A few years ago both of my cats began foaming at the mouth a couple hours
after I applied Hartz Advanced Care drops.

The active ingredient in Hartz Advanced Care is Permethrin. Learn about the
toxicity of Permethrin by going to http://www.21cats.org/health.html >
scroll down to Ticks.

The EPA also has something to say about Hartz Advanced Care

The most damning article about this product is at
