Can I use frontline that is for a big dog on a small dog? Obviously I wouldn't use the full package of it.

I can't tell you its ok cause I'm not the maker of the product but I have done the same thing with another product cause I had 2 big dogs and a puppy and I didn't want to buy a whole other package just for the puppy ,I was short on cash but I just estimated about how much to use based on the weight and used it and it didn't cause a problem. I only did it for that month though. The stuff on the inside of the package is the same there is just more of it. I think if you were to use too much it could irritate their skin. Call the number on the package and ask them if it ok.

You can but only use a very small amount. If you use too much it could poison the dog. We have several chihuahuas and we buy the frontline for the biggest dogs, and we use I believe it is 0.2cc's on each dog.
We have been doing this for about 5 years and we do not have a problem with fleas and ticks and have had no bad reaction to the frontline. The vet tech at the clinic we take our dogs to, told us about doing it this way. It is safe as long as you don't use too much.

I wouldn't because it would be hard for you to determine how much your dog was getting and it would be easy to put way too much on it for its weight. Since they make it for different weight categories, why not just buy packets for its own size and packets for the bigger dog's size? You won't actually be paying for more because you will be putting the amount needed on each dog.
I would imagine that you could make your dog very sick if it got way too much on it. If it didn't get enough then the product might not be effective.

NO If you want the dog to die then do it get the amount supposed to be used for a smaller dog or go to the police right now and turn yourself in for animal cruelty

Borrow a Syringe from your Vet or Pharmacy...1ml will do 33lbs so if your dog is16.5 or so you can use one half a ML. a 66 lb dog would get 2 ML...I buy the big ones and do it like this...We do Our Shelter Dogs this way as Well

No, the formulation between two dosages is totally different, even if you use half the package. You will save more money if you go and buy the correct dosage than if you were to give the current dosage to your dog and pay the vet fees to heal him from the after-effects.

Yes, my male Doberman takes one Frontline & was informed that my female doerman can use the same strength. So, you can use it also.

My sister has used it, but just make sure you use, you use half the contents of an application. Specially if is a puppy! (3 -4 months).. Make sure to double check with your vet! -- That's how we found out! :)

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Go to your vet and get the correct dosage for the size dog you have. Giving the wrong dosage can make the dog seriously ill or even kill him.
