Once again, it is the time of year where all of the biting insects make their appearance...
When I went in to purchase Frontline, my vet gave me a new medication for flea treatment - Comfortis. He said it is not as effective on ticks as Frontline, but could be used along with a collar. There is a big change from Frontline - this medication is given orally (by mouth), so there are no worries about the medication being washed, rubbed, or licked off. In the summer, my dogs are often at the beach, or in a creek or pond (or stuck in a rain shower as we have on many afternoons in Virginia), so this would be very helpful.
There seem to be more adverse reactions listed with the medication than Frontline. I have not tried the medication with my dogs (I'm trying to learn more first), so I have no experience with it yet.
Has anyone heard of or tried this medication?
