What Are Your Thoughts On This Medicine? Thanks!(:?
Sorry, if this is long. :S You don’t have to read all of it if you don’t want to.
Hey ya’ll. I have a 5 month Great Dane/Bullmastiff and I was thinking about switching her flea medicine to Comfortis. She has a small case of Flea Allergy Dermatitis and I have heard that this flea pill helps with this problem. Most of the reviews I have read on this particular medicine have been really good and supportive of the medicine. I have tried Frontline Plus and Advantage Multi and they did not work as well as I would have liked them too. The Advantage worked a little bit better, but she still had that constant itch and bald spots. I am taking her to the vet Saturday and will ask what he thinks, but I just wanted to get ya’lls opinion. So what do ya’ll think about this medicine?
Here is something I got from their website..
Comfortis™ is the first FDA-approved, chewable, beef-flavored tablet that kills fleas and prevents flea infestations on dogs for a full month.
Here are just a few of the features that set Comfortis™ apart from other flea products you may have used in the past:
-Beef-flavored, palatable, chewable tablet
-Easy to give with no mess
-Starts to kill fleas in 30 minutes
-Lasts a full month
-Kills fleas before they can lay eggs
-Approved by the FDA
-Demonstrated safe for dogs and puppies 14 weeks and older
-Spinosad, the active ingredient, is environmentally friendly
-With Comfortis™, you can play with your dog immediately after treatment.
-No need to isolate pets.
-Just treat and play.
-Because Comfortis™ is administered orally, there’s no risk of application site reactions.
-Comfortis™ won’t stain carpeting, upholstery or clothing.
-Comfortis™ can’t be rubbed or shaken off.
On viewpoints.com:
Comfortis has a rating of: 4.58 out of 5. Most of the reviewers being from FL, which is where I am from.
Frontline Plus has a rating of: 4.16 out of 5.
Advantage Multi has a rating of: 4.5 out of 5.
So all in all I guess they are about the same, but I just wanted to know your thoughts!(:
Thanks.. if you need any more information or something like that let me know!(:

Since advantage didn’t work on the fleas like you wanted, I would try it because it has a different active ingredient and might be more beneficial in killing the fleas. I have never tried it on my great dane personally but know a few people that have tried it and have had great success. I have not had any problems with advantage-multi yet but if I were to0, Comfortis would be the first flea product I would try.
I have found some complaints on the Internet about liver issues from using this product and a couple of incidents of dog death.
My vet does not like it and is not promoting it.
i use frontline but i only heard good things of comfortis…..you can also give ur dog garlic pills to help with the fleas
you should keep using the front line but get the bigger doses but use the liquid bottle and put it at the top of your dogs back
