Are Hartz Flea Drops Anygood???

From their own website:
For cats:
Active Ingredient
% By Weight


Imidacloprid; 1-[(6-Chloro-3-pyridinyl)
methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine
9.1%



For dogs:
Active Ingredient
% By Weight


Imidacloprid; 1-[(6-Chloro-3-pyridinyl)
methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine
9.1%



Since the active ingredient is exactly the same, I would agree with your
vet. Ive heard professionals recommending dog frontline for cats, but their
active ingredients are different, so that seems dangerous.

Here is what our vet recommended to keep cost down for our three cats
and small dog. Buy the advantage for the largest dog you can get,
then apply 3-4 drops on each cat. The advantage is the same but they
jack the prices up for smaller animals as they base it on doses not
volume of advantage.

The difference is that there is less of the flea egg inhibitor in the
dog version - the adult flea and tick parts are exactly the same.
Less poison is hardly more dangerous.
