A word of caution - it is not recommended to use any dog flea treatment products etc. on a cat. Not worth saving a few pennies and killing your kitten/cat in the process.

The products I mentioned have the EXACT same ingredients as the ones for cats. Im not talking about some of the products formulated especially for dogs with different ingredients than the cat ones. So just be sure what your getting is the exact same thing as the cat ones. I know there are some types of Advantage that are only sold for dogs and not cats, so be sure not to get those kind. Also, sometimes the ones sold for dogs have higher concentrations. So measure your doses accordingly. (Thank you, Angeli. I probably did not put a good enough explaination up the first time. Don't want any accidents here)
Why the heck pay much much more $ for the same stuff just in smaller doses? It's just a way for the manufacturers to squeeze more money out of us.
I have been doing this for years and so have most breeders I know, and there have been no ill effects come out of it. The use of any flea products do carry some risk. We are all "risking it" whenever we put poision on our animals.
BTW...Panacur is "off label" use for cats. At least here in the states it is.
