My Cocker Spaniel passed away last year and I now have a 15 lb. Yorkie rescue dog. I want to use the FLP I have for the heavier dog on my new, lighter doggy and just needed the correct dosage ml for the lb.

Yes you may divide doses immediately but donot store this stuff. Well look at it this way,you may pick the flea or ticks off after you see them,but if that flea or tick is carrying Lyme or any other life threatening disease,your hand picking will not help the disease that the bug already inflicted.

Also to know if you are getting name brand products,Bayer makes advantage and Merial makes frontline. If your order doesnt come with a box,you are taking a chance. These vets products are way safer because they donot enter the bloodstream such as the cheaper meds like Hartz. HARTZ products have killed pets unable to filter their products thru their kidneys or blood stream.

Stuff sold at the stores are cheaper for a reason. Thank you for the read. Will the Guastopo please calm down? Foget Ebay was even mentioned.

And not just with Frontline, but mostly with Revolution, with my vets permission. He even encourages it for patients with many smaller animals and thus sells single dosages. Also, before his rep is flamed, he is a holistic vet and has even written articles in Cat Fancy for when they do their holistic one. I also cleared the dosage for my cats with him when I did give Frontline, which is. Come on guys… Think a little bit before you post. The preferred method is an amber vial with a silicon sealing.

But these things are tested for overdosing. I work with rescue agencies and we had a woman give a double dose I forgot how of Frontline to the dog.

So everyone calm down. Yes, do your research. But from a reputable source, which MANY on ebay are. That kind of helps ensure you get the real stuff. Also, there are places that can show you what the real frontline packaging looks like and what to look for in a counterfeit.

I was a vet assistant for 4 years then a groomer at that vet office, we dosed out advantage and frontline the exact same way for dogs and cats coming into board. We took the xlarge tubes opened them and poured them into amber medicine vials…. I am a vet tech. I have been dosing down frontline for my pets several years now, and it works the SAME.

These type of syringes have no needles AND fit perfectly in the nozzle of the Advantage vials! If you want to leave some Advantage in the original vial, you can use the syringe as a cork. The syringes can be reused almost indefinitely. Thanks for the tip of dividing up the dosages in a larger vial of Frontline instead of buying the smaller dosage.

We have 2 small dogs, 15 lbs and 12 lbs. The small size costs the most, just about as much as the next larger size. I have been dividing doses of Advantage, Frontline Plus and now Revolution for about 20 years at the recommendation of the vet. I use the largest dog size and break it down for my cats. I work in cat rescue so this is the only way I would ever be able to keep the fleas off of my animals.

I also live in Florida, where we have fleas year round. Last year I had to treat my yard with beneficial nematodes to help kill the fleas because they were so bad.

It worked great, especially since I will not use pesticides in my yard. I know, I know, you are saying I will put them on my pets but no my yard. Well the advantages of using them on the animals FAR outweighs the risks of not using them. Some animals will have a bad reaction from using these products but the numbers are small. Advantage and Frontline products are even safe enough to use every couple of weeks, which is helpful in high flea infestation areas. I usually purchase from a couple of websites in Australia and have been for years with absolutely no problems.

I do realize that there are counterfeits out there and I check all the serial numbers etc. Even with shipping and handling which is usually cheaper than U. I found it to be even cheaper than ebay. If you think the FDA is doing a great job protecting you, keep purchasing from where you are. I will continue to purchase from where I do.

Kudos to you manymanycats! Many fine cat rescue organizations use your money-saving techniques. That was where I found the best prices. Have you found a better price than these guys? If you have, please share! Call it 5 doses. So, theoretically, there are 5 doses in just one dog tube of 2 ml. This is where used, clean 1 ml insulin syringes with the needle yanked out pliers needed are very useful.

A precise dose of 0. I use a 3 ml syringe with a 25 gauge needle to first get the 2 ml out of the dog tube. Then, I use the large syringe to transfer 0. Sometimes mistakes are made, and I only get 4 cat doses out of a dog tube. Not bad, huh? Still pretty good. Especially if you live from paycheck to paycheck. I have used this supplier five times before without a problem. The fleas have developed resistance to everything else. No, I have no connection with these guys or any supplier other than as a customer.

To date, all my orders have arrived just fine. Note that cats treated with 4 times the proper dosage for six months showed no adverse effects. The insect growth regulators used alone seem safe. Plus, our resistant Tennessee fleas drink down Frontline, Advantage, etc. Our cats are all indoor-only, but in the South, fleas are unavoidable. They always find a way in, somehow.

I really feel quite nervous about sharing this info. So I will share, and hope it helps out some cats and some people. And now I must also calmly rant, because the following explains why I am risking sharing my hard-found info. The U. We spent more on the Iraq war alone than all the oil in Iraq is worth.

A country can be compared to a family. Right now, the U. You need to know the difference between the deficit and debt. The debt is how much the US family totally owes after years of credit card binging. Answer: Not Good. So times are hard, have been hard, and are gonna be hard for a few more years. The W years over-spending were over-the-top. Look at the charts. And with…what to show for it? WWII was worth saving a chunk of the world from turning into a Nazi horror show. W…what good did he ever do?

Name one good thing W did that improved the US family condition. And mean stuff, like trying to reduce benefits to Iraq war vets. Come on! Guess they need to hire some slick lobbyists, huh? That meant, some of that huge credit card debt could be paid off.

And was. Because he went on a huge credit card spending binge, one that could have lost the family home. He blew all that surplus and much, much more.

W reversed that surplus completely. All the W years had enormous deficits. But, Obama is making progress. Every year, the deficit is steadily declining. The most recent ones are less than half of W deficits. A Democrat was the only one so far to give us a surplus. Ever hear of evidence-based medicine? Well, evidence based economics is the only kind worth anything. Look at the numbers.

History shows us Democrats are the ones who use the credit cards less or sometimes not at all, and Republicans are the compulsive shoppers who spend and spend and spend. On useless B. And, I can name one major for sure thing Obama did that was really good. He, himself, personally made the clueless incompetent appointees who ran FEMA and caused so many flusterclucks.

Obama dumped them all as soon as could, and appointed people who had a clue. I know this for several reasons. I have current insider knowledge about FEMA due to medical connections. A very intelligent MD, whose opinion I trust how many of those exist? Who cares what any of them say?

Things might be a lot better in ten years. They could be noticeably better in five years. I almost deleted this whole post. I may wish I had. My little economics rant is sort of a way of forcing myself to be altruistic.

I am very sorry if they are hard to read through, but shouty, bulllying entertainnews just does not hack it. That is what news reporting discussion is meant to be. No shouting, no bullying. Politeness and courtesy reigned, despite profound opinion difference. Stuff like FOX News appeals very strongly to angry people. And W created a whole lot of angry, frightened people.

Angry people want something to blame, because it makes them feel better. Fox News gives them that. The working poor pay more total federal income tax than the super-rich. And Social Security tax, my friends, IS a federal income tax. It is spent JUST like any other tax dollars collected—quick, fast and in a hurry. Guess what?

Just people. They are NOT different from you and me. Try actually meeting a few. OK, Mr. I am so going to regret this.. And their broke owners. Dear God! Before you post something next time, please be certain to take all your meds. This is a little site about saving money. Not a place for some ideologue to rant her craziness.

This is NOT the place for your kind of divisive speech. But a place set up by a very nice man trying to help others save money. Please THINK next time before putting out this kind of venomous rhetoric in a place where it does not belong. Thank you! You can get a 12 pack extra large Frontline Plus from Candadavetcare.

No tax. I have been purchasing from them and product is in original pk and works just like stuff purchased from vet. I have a Newfy, Heeler and 2 cats.

Newfy get whole dose of course and I can dose my other dog and cats and still have some left to let my daughter use for her dogs. If you are using Frontline, they now have the generic of it being sold. So save yourself even more money. Hopefully they will come out with a generic version of Rev.

I see the active ingredients have slightly different percentages does it make a big difference? Or was the Frontline bought off eBay I might add duff? I suppose it could be, if you purchased it from a source on ebay that does not have a good or reliable feedback.

You say that you used the correct dosage, could I ask what that is? I have seen various doses recommended. But what I received from my vet and that I verified with other sources, is. Otherwise how could they do lb range doses? It also could be that you hit a really bad flea season and Frontline can only do so much for your environment. Each year, I treat everything. Pets, house and yard. I have rarely seen a flea inside, and never had an infestation. I go to my feed store and purchase the carpet spray that will last anywhere depending upon which brand from months.

But the simple answer to your question, is yes, it works. Did it for years before I switched to Rev. Same for breeders I know and apparently the thousands online that have been using it. So again, that leaves you with either wrong dosage, bad Frontline, or most likely, you also need to treat your home and yard, especially if having a bad season in your area. I have had vets tell me that this seems to work better and that they think the fleas start to build up a tolerance for one type if used regularly.

By switching back and forth, they have a harder time building the tolerance. And yes, fleas season this year has been horrific so it may take a while to get them under control. As I stated in an earlier post, I used beneficial nematodes in my yard. They eat the flea larva and attack the adult fleas. I used it a few years ago when I had a very very bad flea problem and within a couple of days I could tell a difference and within days the problem was under control.

You can get them from a nursery or online. Just make sure you get the correct ones for your region of the country. Oh well. Put the old stuff on the cat, instant dead fleas so I think the stuff I got from eBay was dud, will go back and leave them a stinky review after this. Hello everyone, I have a 4lb toy yorkie that is 1 and a half years old. I am thinking of buying the Frontline ex large dose and giving him the. I have read all the great posts and most are reassuring me that buying in bulk and dividing the dosage is the way to go!!

Cost effective. Should I give him half of 0. It has become popular to determine the correct amount and dose the dogs yourself.

I use. Our 13 lbs. I bought the lbs. Frontline from Costco after reading that I can divide the dosage. I taped the small hole and put the applicator in a sealed bottle. I then dropped the liquid between the shoulders of our dog. I just need to vacuum the whole house again, and repeat the process every 30 days. Did you not read all the posts? People, People, People………. We are not all ignorant.

Most of us have tried dio earth, garlic, etc. I have Shelties and cats in flea country Florida. I use dio earth on the pups, but unless I want hairless tapeworm infested dogs, or to bathe them all every day, there is no option. I have a few that are extra flea sensitive and to watch them chew and cry and pull their hair out is not why I have pets.

I divide my dosage from the big pack to save money, and have had no problems in some 10 years with this method. If you do not have dogs with long hair, who go in and out, and live in the sandy South, you have no idea what you are talking about. The fleas are a nightmare for the animals and the humans. Advantage or Frontline measured into a syringe is the most cost efficient…. I also worm my own dogs, give my own vaccines to dogs and horses, and make use of old remedies on the horses that involve epsom salts, aloe, etc.

Do you really save money when you have to pay thousands later on because your pet went into convulsions or got cancer? Cyndiann… Yes, we do save money by doing that and yes, our goal is to give our animals cancer. Gawd, why do people like you have to pollute a polite and congenial discussion group? Take your Jihad elsewhere. Done radio, etc.

Yes, he would prefer to use Revolution or a few other products over Frontline, but not for the reasons you list, simply because he believes there are better things, that are doing more, out there right now than Frontline.

And that is a topic that could be politely discussed, but started elsewhere, since that is not the subject of discussion on this page.

So strap on your grenade vest and visit another cafe, this one is closed to you. I would recommend no one engage her further from this point on. Thanks for the smile.

I understand that it is not ideal to put these chemicals on our animals BUT you have to weigh the risks. Yes I have tried the holistic approach and found that DE and other stuff just did not live up to its reputation and was like doing nothing at all.

The nematodes on the other hand worked great on my flea infested yard…took about 7 days, then I had a flea free yard at least it seemed that way. If you do nothing or keep doing the things that do not work, your pet pays for it dearly. Working rescue, I have seen what fleas can do to animals from allergies to death, especially young or sick animals.

It is very important to keep the fleas off of them and the actual risk from these products is small enough that I will continue to use them for this purpose.

When I pulled my dog from the county shelter he had heartworms. The vets gave him poison to kill them, which worked, or he would be dead now. I went through multiple types of chemo, which is poison, to be cancer free today. So I think that you have to weigh the pros and cons. I believe there can be better living through chemistry and flea products show that…just ask a dog or cat that is in distress from constant scratching because of fleas.

Sure would like to understand why the Frontline Plus dose for a 15 lb. Has anyone tried to split the cat dose between 2 small cats and had good results? Obviously there are instances of adverse reactions, just like with humans and some drugs. I do the same thing with it, per my vets instructions, I buy the largest dose he carries, and put it in an amber vial. You could save even more if you purchased from a place like Petshed. SJC, people like me do our homework and have scientific evidence to back up what we are saying.

Frontline is made from fipronil. Fipronil in parts-per-trillion can mutate proteins and kill human liver cells. Research now shows that even minuscule exposure is toxic to vertebrates including humans and pets.

Desulfinyl fipronil and fipronil sulfone are two of the chemicals left over after fipronil decays. They result from photodegradation, biotransformation or oxidization mechanisms.

Both of these chemicals are more toxic than fipronil itself. They are also very persistent in the environment. A person can get an overdose of fipronil merely by petting a dog. Consider what it does to the dog!

Fipronil is 1 of 16 pesticides selected to be monitored in a study sponsored by industry and planned by the EPA. Children will still be intentionally exposed. The study intends to use children from birth to age 3. I just want to know what they are feeding their dogs. Also they mentioned only treating one pet and not having any other problems. My 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 rats all get fleas even with just treating the 2 dogs that go outdoors.

In fact, I have treated them all summer with Frontline plus and my 2 cats still have fleas after using this product for over 5 months. Obviously people have their own opinions and not everything that everyone says is going to be the truth because people do lie, especially when trying to prove a point. The worst you could do is talk to your vet about splitting medication.
