Has anyone tried "flea pills" for their dogs?

I can't win the flea battle so my vet will sell me Comfortis. It's a pill form medicine that is supposed to kill fleas for up to a month.

Does anyone have reviews or experiences they can share? Does it really work?

We've been using Trifexis. It works.

Sounds like you know what you're doing.


Just roll with it.

Yes, they work.


Get the kind that combines with heart norm protection.

Use nexgard (pills) or seresto (7-8 month collar).

It was the only thing that would kill fleas on my dog and cat.

My dog took the first pill willingly. After that, he would shake his head no when I went to give him the pill.

Funny you ask. Comfortis works the best in my opinion but there are some concerns of side effects. I just found a place online that sells all flea pills for about half what they usually cost.see link below

It's not like it some kind of new development that needs quotes. It's the best way to fight them, and you can get the kind that fights heartworms along with it. No other way to go

Trifexis works. It gets rid of fleas within a couple days. It also protects them from heart worms. I highly recommend it, I usually give it to them every 2-3 months so it will last around a year for $98. Can't beat that

ETA: I have two Great Danes

I would think most dog owners use this now (particularly the flea + heart worm in one pill). They definitely work.

FYI pill treatments like Trifexis, Comfortis and Assurity have been known to kill dogs and cats.

When we first moved into our house a couple of years ago my dog developed a pretty bad flea problem. Trifexis was the only thing that cleared it up.

"Flea pills" work "really well" if you know what "I mean"

My three dogs took Comfortis for years and it works. Two months ago we started them on Trifexis. One of the dogs had a problem with it, so she gets Comfortis and the other two get Trifexis.

I got one dog with topical and one dog with the pills. Both work well. Pills are Sentinal and topical treatment is Advantage.

You need to treat the yard, house, and dog to get rid of fleas.

Gave the dog Bravecto 3 months ago and haven't seen a flea since.
