 The Pros & Cons Of Using Re-Sold Frontline Plus August 15, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
After reading the item description, & reserching the chemical composition of Frontline Plus, I wouild like to provide some additional information & dispel some myths regarding the product.
MYTH #1: Front Line Plus for Dogs is unsafe to use on cats. Wrong. If you check the ingredients, you will find that the names of the ingredients in Frontline Plus for Dogs AND for Cats are exactly identical.
HOWEVER... What is NOT identical is each of the chemical concentrations.
The concentration of Fipronil, in the Dog & Cat formulas, is the same percentage for both dogs & cats. Fipronil is the ingredient that actually kills the fleas.
What is different, however, is the S-Methoprene concentration - the ingredient that sterilizes the flea eggs & larva so that they become inert & cannot develop into adults. The concentration of S-Methoprene in Frontline Plus For Dogs (8.8%) is 25% less than that of Frontline Plus For Cats 9 (11.8%) solution - therefore, in using this product, you will be applying 1/4 less S-Methoprene than you would be, if you bought Frontline Plus For Cats. You'd get the same amount of pesticide in a .5ml dose, but you will get less sterilizing agent.
Therefore, using .5ml of Frontline Plus For Dogs, on a cat, may be less effective & you may see more fleas. Because less are being sterilized & are allowed to develop.
MYTH #2: You can break the seal & pour out .5ml of Frontline Plus into a container, & expect it to stay fresh for 8 months. The truth? Probably not.
I called Frontline's 1-800 # & asked them, if more than 1 tubette of Frontline Plus were opened at one time - could you save the extra one opened in a sterile vial until next month? They told me the product is designed to be used at the time it is opened, & she did not know whether it could be saved & used in 1 month, & still work identically. Let alone 8 months. So it is possible this product may become less effective over time. No one knows.
Merial Labs, the producer of Frontline Plus, does not manufacture their materials to be opened & used over 8 months - this kid is doing it on his own.
Which brings me to...
MYTH #3: If you're opening packets of a product, repackaging them, & selling them yourself... no one can "hijack" the product. If any product is being hijacked, it's Frontline Plus' - but to copy a reseller's redistribution technique technically not hijacking (ie. stealing a product & selling it as your own) - it is to copy a marketing technique - & that is what we in the US call... Capitalism. :)
If you don't own the company that has sole legal rights to manufacture & market a given product, anyone can do what they want with it without infringing on your rights. Unless the law catches up to you, one & all.
So, these things said... Whether it is a smart idea to use a flea protection in a lesser concentration than what is necessary to protect your cat - opened 8 months ago & poured into a vial - becomes a more pertinent question. Your home & your pet may be ok, but then again, they may not. Things often happen to the compositions & integrity of some chemicals once the original seals are broken & air hits them. Some flea products cannot be broken open & saved in a container at all & still work (eg. Promeris). You can try it, & if a flea infestation develops over time, or if the one you have fails to abate & proliferates into something requiring an exterminator - you'll know.
Furthermore, without all of the actual US company packaging, you could be buying anything. Counterfeit Frontline Plus IS out there, & some reproductions are ok & some are quite bad. But you'll have no concrete proof of where your Frontline Plus actually came from, unless it's bought from a veterinarian. This may be a marketing agreement on the part of Frontline & vets designed to monopolize the market & consume all profits - but at least you'll be guaranteed the product's quality & consistency.
My hope for this post is to educate the public with the information I've uncovered via research & personal experience. The decision is ultimately up to you, but I would advise you to do your own research, make your own informed decision, & "caveat emptor"... ie. buyer beware.
 Thanks for this money saving way to treat my critters! July 29, 2008
I was thrilled to find Frontline in 'bulk' form, and happy to hear I could use it safely on my feline friends. If you've used Frontline with success this is a great way to save some money and keep the flea population at bay.
The packaging looks very generic. It is important to follow the directions. There is NO LABEL on the little bottle that you pour the pipette contents into, so I would recommend getting a sharpie marker and labelling it with the name of the product and the proper dosing amount so it is evident in the future.
Addendum: I noticed one reviewer has stated that this product is unsafe for cats. I shall stress that you must use the proper amount, which is much less than for dogs. I have used this product on my kittys (and I LOVE my feline friends) with great success, and no ill effects. Just use the CORRECT AMOUNT! This product works systemically, unlike many other flea killers which work topically.
Great money saving idea! July 9, 2008
I think Frontline is a terrific product - in the past we tried several other flea control methods, and this worked significantly better than the rest, but it is awfully expensive. I am happy to buy the bigger pack and pour it into a bottle to save cash, and the first dose worked as well as always.
Extremely UNSAFE for cats! July 5, 2008

You can do one of two things, save money or save your pet. You can't do both with this product. Frontline clearly states NEVER to use dog products on cats nor vice-versa. You are putting your pet in danger by not purchasing the product formulated for your specific animal. While it IS okay to use the large dog size to treat multiple smaller dogs with the correct dose, using it on cats puts their health (and life) in jeopardy. This is not as effective as Frontline for cats, I know it's more money, but as toxic as these products are to begin with, why compound the danger by not using as directed. I tried to save money using the dog product on my cat and had a negative result AND got lectured by my vet never to repeat such an act. I hope you'll purchase Frontline for cats and avoid my experience.
While I've got your attention, never purchase from [...] (read about them at the Better Business Bureau site) and NEVER purchase Hartz products.
Make sure you know who you are buying from. June 10, 2008

Hi,
This is Shaun Koch with No More Fleas Please, Inc.
I wanted to take a moment and let you know that I am the original developer of these kits being sold here on Amazon. I sell under the user name FLEA_DOCTOR. One of the other sellers has hijacked this item and is selling it as his own. The seller who has done this has actually gone so far as to take the name of my corporation and website and is using this as his Amazon storefront name to give himself legitimacy. This seller is FOOLYCOOLY and the Amazon storefront is No More Fleas Please. This seller is not selling our products. I am the owner and proprietor of www.NoMoreFleasPlease.com and this seller has absolutely no affiliation with me, my corporation or my products. We at No More Fleas Please, Inc. cannot and will not guarantee the quality of any product not purchased from us. Case in point, please read the 3 star review that was left just before this. He did not buy from us and that is the result.
If you want the original and the best, along with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, the ONLY place to get your kits and individual doses from is us. We are the original and the best. Not to pat ourselves on the back, but if you've got it......
Sincerely,
Shaun Koch
