I've got a big dog and a little dog, and two relatively small cats. We used to live in Oregon, and I'd just buy "big dog" (4 mL) doses of Advantage, give one to the big dog, and with a syringe I would measure out doses for everyone else. With Advantage you can do this - it's the same medication for all animals, just in different amounts.

However, this is our first summer in Tennessee, and I'm worried about ticks also now. I don't think Advantage is supposed to work on ticks, so I guess I'll start looking around for alternatives. Does anyone else have any experience with a good flea/tick medication like this, where it can be shared between dogs and cats? I only ask because there is potential to save a whole lot of money (and that would make a difference to us right now!). Advice would be appreciated, thanks!
