I have dosed down flea meds for years and, knock on wood, have had no problems. Having several cats and dogs, this is the most economical way for me to do it. With all the cats and dogs there are in the world, HOW can flea meds be SO expensive? I recently came across this chart of dosages for several of the most common brands of flea meds and am reprinting it here for anyone else needing it.

Ask your vet for the correct dosing and medications for YOUR animal. This list is just a reference guide and is not intended to avoid veterinary guidance or advice.

Advantage & Advantage II (Imidacloprid)

Advantage required adult fleas to ingest the medication, at which point they would be impacted by the insect-specific neurotoxins and die. Advantage II kills fleas on contact, with the addition of three new chemicals to its formula, that makes your dog or cat’s skin an entirely inhospitable environment for pests. Eggs are killed before they hatch. Adult fleas are killed and will fall off, or will be washed off in your dog’s next bath.

Frontline Plus (Fipronil & (s)-methoprene)

Dog Product Info   |   Cat Product Info

The dose is 0.0305ml/pound. Multiply 0.0305 times your pet’s weight for more precise dosage.

Frontline Plus (Fipronil & (s)-methoprene)
General guideline for lower doses.

NOTE: If you’re using Frontline Plus —
The amount of fipronil in the dog version is the same as in the cat version. The “Plus” is methoprene, an insect growth regulator. There’s LESS of it in the dog product than in the cat product, so it’s safe to use the dog product on the cats but do NOT use the cat product on a small dog.

Generic Frontline Plus for dogs may contain a different ingredient than the brand name. If a generic Frontline product contains something other than methoprene or fipronil it may not be safe on your cat.

Frontline Shield (Fipronil, Permethrin, & Pyriproxyfen)

The dose is 0.05ml/pound. Multiply 0.05 times your pet’s weight for more precise dosage.

Revolution (selamectin) / Stronghold

Revolution® has a single active, safe in both cat and dog, but it’s concentration varies: the formulation for puppies, kittens and cat is half strength. If splitting a large dog vial and applying the volume stated on the packaging for a cat, a double dose would be given. Take careful note of the half volumes shown below (concentration: 60mg/ml vs 120 mg/ml. Concentration amount is shown on the package.).

Product Insert

(General guideline based on 120mg per 1ml potency*. Dose is 0.025ml/pound. Multiply 0.025 times your pet’s weight for more precise dosage.

Revolution (selamectin) for Dogs

(based on 60mg per 1ml potency*. Dose is 0.05ml/pound. Multiply 0.05 times your pet’s weight for more precise dosage.)

Revolution (selamectin) for Cats

• Potency/concentration is noted on the packaging.

Advantage Multi

 *Dose is 0.045ml/pound. Multiply 0.045 times your dog’s weight for more precise dosage.
The recommended minimum dose is 4.5 mg/lb (10.0 mg/kg) imidacloprid and 0.45 mg/lb (1.0 mg/kg) moxidectin, once a month, by topical administration

*Dose is 0.045ml/lb. Multiply 0.045 times your cat’s weight for more precise dosage.
The recommended minimum dose is 4.5 mg/lb (10.0 mg/kg) imidacloprid and 0.45 mg/lb (1.0 mg/kg) moxidectin, once a month, by topical administration.

Advantage Multi

*dosage is approximate. My math calculations came out to be 0.05ml/lb, but there is a discrepancy with packaged dosages. Also there is more Moxidectin in the dog formula than in the cat formula, so I would not put the dog product on cats.

Advantix®

NEVER USE THIS ON CATS. If you get Advantix® on your hands when splitting a vial for the dogs, do not touch your cat before thoroughly washing your hands with warm soapy water. Advantix causes permethrin toxicity in cats because they cannot metabolize the permethrin in Advantix. More info permethrin toxicity.

(Dose is 0.04ml/lb. Multiply 0.04 times your dog’s weight for more precise dosage.)

Advantix
DO NOT USE ON CATS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using K9 Advantix II? Here’s a list of generic alternatives to help you save money.

Flea Allergic pets, like those of us allergic to mosquito bites,  will incessantly itch and pull out all their hair if just one flea gets past the flea control. Given most spot on agents only achieve high kill rates, above 95%, for the first 2 weeks of the month, twice monthly application is often recommended by dermatologists when treating flea allergy.

Storage of Unused Topicals

Manufacturers packaging protects the product from 2 important things: light and air. Drugs and insecticides can be destroyed and rendered ineffective if mishandled. Keep in the vial and store in a cool, dark place. The fridge is ideal, but under the sink or any other ‘chemical repository’ is ok.  Do not freeze. You may also decide to keep the entire flea medication in the syringe itself which is fine but far from ideal. I recommend an airtight glass vial.  The key point is no air exposure, no light, and no heat and they will last a very long time.
