Topical Spray Offers Flexibility
-
Frontline also offers the topical spray form of the medication. For cats, the dosage is 1.5 to 3 ml per pound of body weight or 3.3 to 6.6 ml per kilogram of body weight. This translates to two to five pumps per kilogram using the 250 ml bottle or six to 13 pumps per kilogram using the 100 ml bottle. A cat should be treated with this dose every month.
Bottom Line
-
According to PetPlace.Com, the active ingredient in the product is safe even up to five times the recommended dosage, so the amount of Frontline product to apply does not have to be exact. However, the applicator form provides the appropriate dosage for cats of all weights and is easier to control.
