Default Can you save by buying Advantage flea control for dogs and using smaller dosage for cats?

"Garret Swayne" wrote in

I've been told Advantage Flea control has the same ingredients,
whether it's used for dogs or for cats. The only difference is that
when you buy Advantage for dogs, the measured single-application doses
contain more (because dogs are larger and require a larger dose). So
if you have a calibrated eyedropper to measure out the dosage exactly
and information on how big a dose to apply to your cat, theoretically
you could buy a packaged dose for a large dog and stretch it to
several applications for your small cat, couldn't you? Has anybody
tried this, or or do you know of a site where they tell you exactly
how to do it?

I buy the Advantage for large dogs size on-line. I squeeze a tube into a
small glass vial. Using a graduated dropper, after shaking the vial, I
draw out 0.8 ml, and apply that to the skin on the back of the cat's
neck. Been doing this with no problems for years. The stuff lasts many
months in the capped vial.

The cat does not appreciate it and I have to hide the dropper until I
have the cat in hand.

I bought the vial and the dropper - and other neat stuff - at American
Science and Surplus on line.
