I just called my vet to ask for you.. He said yes, you can use a cat 's on a dog...but not a dog's on a cat... The reason being that the Frontline for cats takes into account that the cat will lick, so it is safer for licking than a dog's.

Hi
Please do not use the Frontline Plus for cats on your dog - this could harm him as the Cat and Dog Frontline has different ingredients.
Please buy Frontline for dogs otherwise you will find you will have to pay a visit to your local Vets.

You really need to get Frontline Plus for Dogs...get the one for his weight. Frontline for cats should only be used on cats.

I would suggest you get the dog formula, although the cat's may be okay, if you happen to have some left over.
Check with Frontline Plus to be sure it doesn't contain any chemicals that may be poisonous to your dog.

Cats and dogs have different kinds of fleas. Using a cat treatment won' do much good. The most common flea on both dogs and cats is the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis, but both cats and dogs can also occasionally be affected by other fleas, such as rabbit and bird fleas.
The dog flea, Ctenocephalides canis, has been found in great numbers on dogs, but rarely on cats

I wouldn't use Frontline Plus at all. I think K9 Advantix is a lot better and it also protects against ticks.

You really should use something suited to dogs, to be on the safe side.
Would you use an item suited for animal use??? No you would get something used for people. This is your pet and member of your family =) Check with a vet, maybe you can.... but make sure before you do.
Best of luck.
