I use advantix on my dog. I have never noticed my cat to be harmed. They snuggle and she is fine. I hope this helped

It shouldn’t be a problem. With any flea product you should keep other animals away for a little while so they don’t ingest it, but once it’s dried and absorbed it’s not dangerous anymore.

You are correct – the manufacturer even says it is not to be used in households with cats. Take it back for a refund, get something else, and then find another vet.

Is your cat LICKING the puppy? Are you putting the meds ON the cat?
READ the package………it will have “warnings” on it. A lot of people make the mistake of putting dog flea meds ON cats, and that’s what kills them. I don’t believe that the cat will suffer, if you don’t put the dog meds ON the cat.
CALL your vet and ASK ………
Good luck………

Ask for Comfortis, it’s a flea tablet that kills fleas for a month. Nothing to get on the cat since the dog eats it.

That product IS dangerous to cats. Just take it back and tell them you aren’t comfortable using it, and ask for something else.
