I ran out of cat Frontline and currently have no time to drive 4 miles down the road to buy it. Not in the nearest week. However I have dog Frontline. Is it safe for cats? Thanks.

NO!!!! Never EVER use any kind of flea and tick medication that's meant for dogs on cats. It's way too strong and cats have died from doing this. It's way too dangerous and toxic. The FDA has a warning out about this:

Follow the directions exactly. If the product is for dogs, don’t use it on cats or other pets. If the label says use weekly, don’t use it daily. If the product is for the house or yard, don’t put it directly on your pet.

Agree, never do that. I even hear it on the radio when they advertise Frontline not to use it on cats.

Have a question?
