is Zodiac safe to use for fleas
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 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've only found 3-4 fleas so far on only 2 of my cats. also if the zodiac is safe i will buy it for 2 of my older cats who are over a year and wait 2 weeks for the kittens to get the stuff from the vet since one is a pure bred hym and he's already allergic to plastic so i wouldn't want to risk him being allergic to the zodiac spot on stuff or shampoo. the link that compares the products is here http://www.zodiacpet.com/productinformation.htm thanks again |

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? They'd probably make a killing and save a lot of animals from the horrors of Hartz which is cheaper, of course. I think some of the successful flea-treatment companies should think about *everyone* they are selling to. People who love their pets but may not have the money for so much treatment all at once. People like Lauralai trying to be the best cat mommy without having to involve her own parents. Elderly people on a strict monthly budget. Things like fleas can come on suddenly even if you've never had a flea problem and you may not have budgeted for it. Just a thought.... |

I went to the website and it says that it's active ingrdient is methoprene Zodiac also contains permethrin which can cause seizures in cats. I know of several cats that needed to be treated with phenobarbital and/or valium to control seizures, and in some cats, dexamethasone to control severe seizures after being treated Zodiac. Permethrin also causes drooling, vomiting and muscle tremors in cats. You may want to rethink using Zodiac products on cats. Phil. |
