Comfortis is the real deal. Say goodbye to fleas.

I know they are prob a my safe, but I refuse to use the pills. Something about making my dog swallow a poison that kills something on the outside just doesn't gel with me. I use the topical, but we have been extremely lucky and just started seeing fleas like a month ago. Already cleared those up, stupid rain, once it dries up the fleas will probably subside a little bit.

It works. I've rescued twenty dogs. Gave everyone either capstar or comfortis as they work. Killed the fleas every time.

Use either Nexgard or Bravecto- Both are oral meds for fleas and ticks, Bravecto will last for 3 months with one dose, but Nexgard has a slightly increased spectrum against ticks and is monthly. Both work well.

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



My dog had a bad reaction to comfortis and for a few minutes I thought he was a goner. He's been fine since I took him off of it. I spray the yard and give him Frontline every couple months and he doesn't have issues. Or maybe he just sheds too fast for the fleas.

Comfortis


My dog hated Comfortis, even when wrapped completely in sour cream. I switched to Nexguard and she thinks it's a treat.

We haven't had flea nor tick problems with either medicine, they are WELL worth the money.

I give my dog bravecto - an oral flea and tick preventative - and only have to give every 3 months.

Yeah, they work great. Why did you put flea pill in quotations?

Get the one with heart worm protection as well. Literally may be a difference of a dollar.
