Hi Lauralai.

i bought the shampoo today since petsmart didnt have any of
the zodiac spot on in, they should get it thrsday though and i
haven't used the shampoo yet because i may get the spot on zodiac
if it works fairly well and has no cases of harming animals. if
not i may have to take the vet in to the vet but i would rather
have that as a last resort

I don't know the answer to your question and hope someone else does
but it made me think about something. I wonder why Bayer can't market
Advantage in single tubes (especially the large dog size which you can
measure out and treat multiple cats) for those who can't afford 6
months worth at a time?

Some vets sell them this way. We did because we often used a single
tube during grooming.

hi
yesterday i posted about about my cat's having fleas the people who replyed
said not to use OTC things. well i would NEVER use any hartz product for
fleas but i was wondering if Zodiac is safe to use for fleas. I went to the
website and it says that it's active ingrdient is methoprene while program
tablets and program injection's main ingredient is Lufenuron, i have never
heard any bad things happening with zodiac and since my flea infestation is
just starting out and is not that bad i was wondering if it would work

I wouldn't use the product on my cats. Frontline, Advantage and
Revolution are the only products I feel are safe enough to use on my
animals....and I worked for chemical companies for over 15 years - on
natural insecticides, among other things.

ok, thanks, i thought you were referring to the spot on stuff.
i might try phoning around tomorrow after school to see if there are any
vets that don't cost as much or who would give out the flea control but i
don't think that they will, odds are i'm going to have to bring them to
the
vet next thursday since they have no appointments open tomorrow and that's
when my vet has vacination days


Laura,

Some vets will sell Advantage or Frontline without seeing the cats because
they are so routinely used for fleas. Be sure to tell them the age of your
kittens.
