Advantages of Comfortis
One major benefit of Comfortis for dogs is that the medication is administered orally using a tasty beef flavored tablet. This means your dog won't have to sit still for the application of a topical medication and other family members, especially children, won't be at risk of danger from contact with the dog as they might be if a topical treatment was applied.
Of course, the most important benefit of Comfortis is that, once applied, the medication actually works to provide relief from fleas for your pet. In fact, Comfortis begins to work in as little as 30 minutes, killing both adult fleas and flea eggs so that your flea problem can be stopped once and for all.
Comfortis will continue to protect your dog and prevent fleas for the entire month, so you only have to administer the tablet once every 30 days to keep your dog free of itchy critters. Even better, because the flea control comes in tablet form you don't need to worry about your dog getting wet and losing the effectiveness of the drug.
Risks of Comfortis
While there are many benefits of Comfortis dog medications, you should be aware that there are some risks associated with the drug, as there are with most medications. Vomiting and thirst are common side effects, but it is also possible that more serious reactions will occur, especially if your pup is dosed with Comfortis for an off-label use, like for the treatment of mange. To protect your pup and minimize the chance of risk, be sure to let your veterinarian know of any drugs that your dog is currently taking as well as informing your vet if your dog has any history of epilepsy or seizures.
