She might measure out the right dosage for her cats - that's what I
do with Advantage. I buy the biggest size (4.0 ml), which is for the
largest dogs. The amount needed for my cats is 0.8 ml each, so I get
5 doses for each single tube*. I have my own syringe that's marked off
at the right spot so I just drip it in there and apply it with the
syringe.

They measure it out in tubes to make it easier to apply it. Also, that
way you don't have to get the stuff on your skin. I would get it on
my hands while measuring, except I wear latex gloves when doing it.
Only problem with that is that Licky knows what latex gloves mean and
he's gone!

I always thought the reason they specify "dog" or "cat" on the labels of
flea products was because the formulas are different - those that are
safe for dogs are not necessarily safe for cats, and vice versa!- Hide quoted text -

That's true of the old, over-the-counter flea/tick meds. I think there
*is* a particular Advantage formulat -- Advantix--that is NOT supposed
to be used on cats.
Frontline plus is the same formula, almost, for dogs or cats. There
*is* a difference in the amount of the "plus" ingredient--a tick
repellant that I can't remember the name of. There's actually a
*higher* concentration of it in the cat formula Frontline-Plus.
