Comfortis Tablets Safely Eliminate Fleas From Your Dog

We all love our pets, and that's why we share a home with them. Studies show that our overall health improves when our dogs show affection towards us. On the same lines, it's equally disturbing to see them in ill health. As a dog owner, you must have, at least once, experienced the discomfort in seeing your pet scratch its fur throughout the day due to the itchiness from fleas. To think of it, the fleas make it even more painful for your pet. Both love for dogs and advances in medical sciences have brought about an array of flea control treatments for dogs.

A variety of flea-control products - topical solutions, ointments, flea tablets and flea bombs too - are available in the market today. These products work best when used in combination. For example, when a dog prefers to play and hang around in wet areas such as the pool or the beach, a topical anti-flea product is rendered ineffective as the drug contents simply get washed away. In such a case, your dog needs to be given an oral flea control tablet. Similarly, flea bombs are also an option that is effective only up to an extent. Flea bombs are used in closed spaces like your house, so, as soon as your dog or cat steps outdoors, they become unprotected. In such cases, you may combine the use of flea ointments.

Given such a context of a variety of flea treatment options, you would be pleased to know about the breakthrough in flea control, which is a drug called Comfortis. This is a chewable pill, which is the first of its kind. Also, interestingly, it tastes just like beef. Comfortis has been given the certification and recommendation of many national veterinary authorities. You would ask, what's really so special about Comfortis? The answers are given below.

First, the dogs love how Comfortis tastes. You simply mix it with your pet's beef-flavored meal and you don't even need to force him/her to eat it. Secondly, but very importantly, the drug is safe. Even puppies older than 14 weeks can already have it. Note that it hasn't been cleared for the cats yet, and it being a reduced-risk pesticide, is toxic to the pups. Again, it's completely safe on grown up dogs.

Another advantage of Comfortis is that it's convenient. You don't need to keep your dog isolated during flea treatment. You can play with him/her right after the medication is administered. Next, Comfortis flea tablets are long lasting. Their efficacy lasts for as long as 30 days, unlike other flea tablets that work only for a few days. Also, these pills work as soon as 30 minutes from being ingested, by killing fleas feeding on your dog's blood. Research shows that due to the special ingredient, Spinosad, Comfortis can kill 100% of the fleas living in the dog's fur.

As there are no allergic reactions or side effects to it, vets recommend Comfortis flea tablets for dogs with skin problems and sensitivities too. Though not being a stand-alone solution as any other flea treatment product, Comfortis tablets are undoubtedly the most effective flea treatment pills.
