Question by Me.: Is it true that dog flea medication can kill cats?
My dogs have fleas and I bought dog flea medication, but I haven't used it 'cause I'm concerned about my cats. It's a flea med called 'advantage'. Help???

Yes, it's true...for some products. It's the permethrin in the dog flea product that's the problem. It can be especially toxic to cats. Even more confusing is that it is sometimes found in products labeled safe for cats. (???)
Advantage, though, should be just fine. Just be sure not to give the dog's dose to the cat. Get the feline version for the cat, since all animals in the home need to be treated, for effective flea control.
