The problem is usually the reverse, using dog flea treatment on cats. Cats are more sensitive to some ingredients than dogs. Your dog should be fine, especially if it is one of the products that is used on both species, just the dosage is different. If it is a product meant for cats exclusively, I suggest calling a pet poison helpline, such as this one: http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/contact/
