[ask-a-vetblr]

Hello Dr! I was wondering if you had ever covered flea and tick prevention products? I just got a new cat and she freaked out after she licked the topical PetArmor Plus (same active ingredient as Frontline, USA) which led to a frantic google search about if I needed to take her to the emergency vet and a rabbit hole of terrifying comments from owners whose cats were harmed by various products. She's fine now so I'm not asking for vet advice but maybe general info on product safety and toxicity?

As a general rule, [off brands (PetArmor, Hartz, etc) < name brand OTC (Seresto, Advantix, Frontline, etc) < prescription name brands (Advantage Multi, Revolution, Bravecto, Nexgard, Simparica, etc)] as far as safety and efficacy goes.
