Hi Tom,

Long time reader first time poster. Thanks for all the great info.

Just wondering if you could give some advice on confidor being used as a flea treatment?

Is it is safe and at what dosage rate?

As with alot of information on greyhound forums there are alot of conflicting stories so i would like to hear your opinion.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,

First of all an apology for the late reply, unfortunately I have been out of action for a little while.
Secondly, and again unfortunately I’m not able to give you a definitive answer to your question.

As you know Confidor has the same active ingredient as Advantage, namely Imidacloprid. The strength of Advantage is 100 gm per litre and Confidor is a 35% suspension concentrate.

This being so I have no reliable method of determining the correct dilution rate to bring Confidor to the same dilution rate as Advantage.

Cheers,
Tom

Everything that happens to a greyhound can only happen because of an action or inaction by its carer, so don’t blame the greyhound when it all goes wrong.
