I would say it's not going to be good for the cat.

The reason Bob Martins dog flea drops are bad for kitties is because it contains permethrin which is hugely toxic to cats

That;s what I was going to say. Advocate doesn't contain pemethrin but the Advantix does which is why it's a dog only product.

Don't know the data on applying dog dose advocate but suspect it's a no no as they have two cat size products. They cover for other parasites also so I imagine the % of drugs in each box for dog and cat is different. That's really a question for Bayer to answer and they probably should be consulted.

I think bob martins is the worse for aweful affects when applied to cats, never seen any other treatment have such devastating effects when overdosed

She hasnt YET!! as I strongly advised her not to!!

But you know that feeling when some clients arnt always listening to what you are saying or think that they know better!! I think some people think that they can save money but at the risk of their pets health!

Both small dog and small cat advocate contains 40mg imidacloprid but the advocate small dog contains 10mg moxidectin to the 4mg in the small cat. When did she apply it?
