https://cdn.brief.vet/web-files/PVD/drupal-uploads/files/Fipronil%20&%20Fipronil%20Combinations,%20Topical_combination%20PDF.pdf Never use a product on a cat if it is labeled only for dogs. Some ingredients that are well-tolerated by dogs can be toxic to cats. "Anything with a permethrin, also known as pyrethrin, should never be used on a cat," Sawyer says. "[Cats] are very sensitive to pyrethrins and can have significant neurologic side effects, even death. Never use a product labeled for a dog on a cat as it may have pyrethrins in it even if not exclusively mentioned on the label." Is Seresto harmful to cats? FRONTLINE Plus also contains the important addition of (S)-methoprene which acts as an insect growth inhibitor. (S)-methoprene works to prevent the multiplication of fleas by inhibiting the development of the immature stages of growth (eggs, larvae and pupae) for up to 6 weeks of application. Thanks for your question. Before assuming the product doesn’t work, there are some things to consider. When there’s an active flea infestation and Frontline is applied to stop it, it can take 24 hours initially for the product to disseminate through the skin.
Following is my long answer for advantages and disadvantages for the spray vs. the spot-on products. Bathing/shampooing/water exposure does not affect the efficacy of the product as long as it does not occur more than once a week. Ease of use: Look for products that are easy to use. When comparing two similar products, the easiest one to apply may be your best bet. For instance, we ranked products lower if a person must wear gloves to apply the treatment or if children and pets must be kept away from the treated animal for a specified time. Flea sprays are applied to the skin and coat; we do not recommend them because topical and oral products are more effective. Oral flea control products, or "flea pills," are given to a cat by mouth to kill fleas and prevent fleas.Minimum age and weight: Cats must be above a minimum age and weight to use flea medications. For this reason, there are fewer options for young kittens. It is also always advisable if you have a pup and kitty who like to hang out together or groom each other, to separate them for 24 hours after applying a topical product to your dog, especially if the product contains permethrin. While Frontline products are considered to be waterproof, make sure not to bathe your kitty for 24-48 hours after an application. Bathing shortly before application may also reduce its effectiveness.
Although Frontline Plus for both dogs and cats contain the same active ingredients, there are differences in the dosage of active ingredients and inactive ingredients, so the dog products should never be shared with cats.
In March 2021, USA Today and the Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting published a report alleging that the Seresto flea collar is linked to thousands of adverse incidents in pets and humans. To date, 2,500 pet deaths have been allegedly linked to the collar. Under the Frontline overview article in the FAQ section, the first topic How Effective is Frontline for Cats? You’ll find these plus some other reasons to consider if you feel a product isn’t working.
A March 2021 investigation by USA Today reported 1,700 animal deaths and other adverse reactions linked to Seresto flea collars. It's unknown if the EPA-approved pesticides used in the collar caused these incidents. You can read more about the safety of Seresto collars in our FAQs. Fleas can be hatching and living in the home environment. These fleas will still eventually seek out pets, giving the appearance of fleas on the cat not being killed by the product when in actuality these are new fleas seeking the cat out.
