[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 320802, member: 1233"] Our cats, once again, have fleas. It has been awhile since they last had them. Five or six months. When they don't go out and no one comes to play it is easy for the fleas to die off. Alas, my bro stopped by a while ago. Jake, his border collie, was with him. So we have fleas. For a long time I bought the large dog size Advantage and divided it up for my cat and my parents 3 cats. That let us treat all the cats for 2 months for about $10. The price has gone up. It will now be $15. Advantage is the same for dogs and cats. The original Advantage, not the newer one. I spoke to the vet and found that SHE had been doing this and selling it for the regular retail price to all her clients! Her tech told me this - she was rather unhappy at telling clients that it "came that way" to vets, not in the retail packaging you see online. Frontline is different in dogs and cats. The cat frontline has more of one ingredient than the dog one does. You can also divide frontline. I have done this also. You need a small bottle that holds 10ml and 2-3 needleless syringes that measure up to 1.0 ml. Empty the medicine into the bottle then draw out the amount for cats. If you have dogs it is easy to buy the largest size (for the biggest dog) and then divide it for your smaller dogs. I don't know how those of you with more than one animal survives the cost of flea medicines if you don't already do this. Just thought I would post it for those of us who have more animals than we used to or are in tighter budgets than we used to. Here is a site that talks about advantage: [url]http://www.lisaviolet.com/cathouse/advantage.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
