Do you use nematodes inside your house? I thought they are just for the yard,
need soil and water to do their thing.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors
too!

I actually use Frontline on incoming cats with fleas….just that once, then it’s
the friendly little nematodes!

I don't believe that the doses would be different because you break the big one
into 7 doses (as in Frontline Plus). I was afraid to do this at first because
I thought it might somehow be different than the single doses but if you think
about it, there's no sediment at the bottom of the tube. It's all uniformly
mixed so no possibility of different strengths from breaking up the tube into
smaller doses. What you are paying for in the standard cat dose is the
packaging. You are paying for 3 plastic tubes instead of one larger plastic
tube. I don't feel that plastic tubes are so great that I want to pay $15
extra above the cost of the ingredients. I wish more stuff was on a "bring
your own bottle" basis. Some stuff in the grocery store is sold that way -
peanut butter, honey, some cosmetics. Everything else is over-packaged so that
when you finish your juice or your ketchup or whatever, you either toss the
package, bottle into the landfill
or you have to lug it to recycle if you don't live in a city with curbside
pick-up. I have been breaking Frontline Plus and Revolution into cat size
doses for years. Haven't tried Advantage though because it goes by weight and
that's a little more work intensive, since I have several cats who can't fit
through the doorway and several more who could slip through the keyhole.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors
too!

The vet will make much more money if you give individual doses. I cannot do
this as I have 24 rescued cats at this time, and at $15. a pop, every month,
I'd be broke in no time, so I buy flea stuff from CAnada or overseas and
dose down from the big dog size. However, dosing down from the big dog
size MUST be carefully figured out so the cats are not hurt.
