Finally - checked Noah Comp book - much more informative than the website! Frontline Combo spot on is safe to use during pregnacy and lactation.

Normal frontline spot-on doesn't say......

Advantage says in tests it was fine on rats, but there are only limited studies in pregnant/lactating bitches, queens and dams. evidance shows so far there are no problems.

Promise not to drag this up for you again

Thats what I said to my friend, use the spray, checked on noah online, and that did't give me the info I needed. Said to read the insert or cal merial for the answer! Sorry about dragging up the post, but she was on facebook chat asking, and I wasn't at work!

Advantage is better than the frontline for mum, quicker killing time and spot on so easier to apply than spray. And can be used while she's lactating also. Not for kittens though, they have to be 8 weeks and 1kg +

It is safer to use Frontline spray on mother even though her kittens are a few weeks old. Be careful to keep her away from the babies and in a well ventilate area as the fumes may cause them to become drunk and if they feed from her they may ingest the product .

Frontline combo and Frontline spot on is not safe to use on kitten till 8 weeks old so do the safe thing for the mother and kittens and use the spray.

We treated a mum and kittens with spray that we had in in a box heaving in fleas at about 3 weeks old with no problems, just try and let Mum dry ideally before feeding the kittens again as another tip!

you can use frontline spray on kittens from 2 days old assuming you can do mum at the same time
