Review of Comfortis Chewable Flea Tablets for Dogs

Comfortis Chewable Flea Control for Dogs is a new product which became available for Australian dogs in late 2009. As with any new product, it has taken some time for pet owners to learn about the advantages of this new flea control.

Comfortis for Dogs comes in the form of a chewable flavoured tablet, which most dogs find highly palatable. In fact it is the only long term flea control pill available which has been approved by the APVMA (Australia) and EPA (US). Comfortis kills adult fleas on your dog (usually within 4 hours) and prevents re-infestation for a whole month.

Key Features and Benefits

• Starts killing fleas within 30 minutes of administration, with 100% of adult fleas killed within only four hours.
• Prevents and treats Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD), which is a serious allergic reaction to flea bites from which many dogs suffer.
• Comes in a flavored chewable tablet form, which means easy and hassle-free administration once a month. No more sticky pesticide residue on your pet's coat.
• Unlike most topical 'spot-ons', there are no restrictions on washing or bathing your pet afterwards. Great for dogs who love the water or need regular baths.

How Comfortis Works

Comfortis contains spinosad, an insecticide which causes constant over-stimulation of the flea nervous system. This results in initial hyperexcitation and an inability to feed, followed rapidly by paralysis and flea death. Spinosad only works on insect nervous systems, making it safe for your dog.

Due to this unique mode of action, Comfortis is useful where fleas have become resistant to older flea control products and 'spot-ons'.
