Pigglies You can use Revolution or Advantage on guinea pigs, but please see www.guinealynx.info for dosing information rather than just using a whole kitten tube. You'll have to dose by weight.

Pigglies Not for guinea pigs. Pyrethrin powders are dangerous for them (as are the pyrethrin sprays). These are cheap and easily available, but they can be deadly. Better to go with something that will work without being so dangerous.
