Frontline as a weight based formula?
Can Frontline be applied on a weight based formula? As a medical
professional this is frequently used as a basis for dosage on humans. For example, my dog is 13 lbs, the application is for dogs up to 22lbs in 0.67 ml. This calculates to .395 ml for my dog per application. With proper application this would render a significant savings. Can anyone argue for or against this method? |

It would require finding the exact dose, though. I think the companies package it that way to "dumb it down". Give you a vial that is safe for the minimum weight. I have always used dog versions of Advantage because you can divide a large-dog packaged dose into many cat-sized doses based on the ML value of the cat dose. But to divide cat-sized doses into the most economic doses based on weight ... interesting. I'm not sure the data is out there for that. -- Cheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C. Fields |

Just don't mix dog and cat formulas of "Frontline Plus" up ,as I *think* they are different*. Regular Frontline is ok, though. -L. (*I may be wrong - I'm just too tired to look it up!) |
