ASPCA Pet of the Week: Extra Sharp Cheddar
Adopt a cat - Cheddar
Sweet Cheddar is a darling four year old cat with special needs. She has fully recovered from a potentially serious liver condition—caused by not eating—but still requires an attentive pet parent who will remind her to chow down.
“Cheddar is amazing!” says Katie Watts, ASPCA Senior Feline Behavior Counselor. “She’s very affectionate and would do well in just about any home, including with a first-time cat parent or with children. She’s really one of the friendliest cats out there!”
Why not adopt Cheddar the cat?
If you’re interested in adopting this little cutie pie, please contact our Animal Placement department at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4120. To see other animals looking for homes, visit the Adoption Center online.
Ask A Vet Question of the Month Winner
Question of the month
The winner of May’s Ask A Vet feature on BudgetPetCare.com has been announced – congratulations go to Judy Thompson who asked:
A rep from frontline told me that you could use a small dog supply and and divide it 3 ways to use on three cats. He said it would not hurt and be less expensive and we could keep all our cats protected. Is this true and what size would I use to get the right amount. These cats are inside cats.
Our in-house vet answered:
Frontline Plus has the same ingredients for cats and dogs but the quantity is different between the two species. Both products, Frontline for cats and Frontline for Dogs, have fipronil and S-methoprene as their active ingredients. As you probably know fipronil is a powerful insecticide which will kill all fleas and ticks, and S-methoprene is a growth hormone regulator...

Pet Med Spotlight – Frontline Plus
Frontline Plus for dogs
Frontline Plus for dogs, manufactured by Merial, is a treatment given to dogs that controls and prevents the infestation of fleas, ticks and lice on dogs and puppies.
It prevents the multiplication of fleas and ticks by inhibiting the egg’s development (ovicidal) as well as larvae and pupae (larvicidal) that originate from eggs that are laid by adult fleas for two months following treatment of Frontline Plus.
It also has the added benefit of treating and controlling Flea Allergy Dermatitis that can result from the infestation of fleas.
Frontline Plus (active ingredient is Fipronil/Smethoprene) will provide you with the most effective and complete treatment of flea and tick infestations, killing them within 48 hours of treatment.
Frontline Plus for dogs controls and treats:
- Paralysis ticks
- Brown dog ticks
- Biting lice
- Flea allergy dermatitis (FAD)
Frontline Plus – Directions of Use
It is important that Frontline Plus is applied to an area of the skin where your dog cannot lick it off – the best place to administer it is behind the neck between the shoulders.
To apply Frontline Plus, part the dog’s hair at the back of the neck to reveal a patch of skin. Squeeze the contents of the pipette directly onto the skin ensuring that the contents of the whole of the pipette is administered.
Frontline Plus will then spread across the coat of your dog over the next 24 hours, killing fleas and ticks as it spreads. After 24 hours Frontline Plus will become waterproof. Because it is waterproof, Frontline Plus is effective even if your dog is bathed/shampooed or goes swimming.
Apply Frontline Plus every month for full effective treatment of fleas, ticks and biting lice.
Frontline Plus Side Effects
Should your dog lick Frontline Plus it may hypersalivate for a brief period. Some temporary irritation may occur, which is normal. Consult a veterinary surgeon if signs persist or become more severe after a few days.

Question from Diana Healy
I have a yorkie, Gidget who is 8 years old and a puppy, Misha, pom who is 4.5 months old. Misha picks on Gidget and Gidget just snaps at her. Can Misha hurt Gidget? Also, with their weight being so small should I use just 1/2 a pipe of Frontline on each dog? Thanks, Diana
Our Vet Says:
Dogs living in the same household have hierarchies and have a similar way of behaving with youngsters like humans.
Misha is still very young and it is seen as a child by Gidget. She will not intentionally hurt her until she is a few months older and hormones develop, but in the meantime she will correct her. Around the time when Misha will be reaching the adult stage of her life these fights will increase for a period of time until they find their equilibrium in the house.
