We are selling Comfortis by Lily at the clinic, it is a 30 day flea tab for dogs only. People have been very happy using it because it is an oral & does not wash off like the topicals. They can bathe weekly if they want, the dogs can go swimming in the river too. We still carry Frontline & Advantage for the people that want it. Frontline kills ticks, Advantage does not for those of you that find that important. Also remember that the fleas have to crawl on your pet & sometimes bite them to be affected by the flea products, so your pet will still have fleas if your enviroment is not clean. Cats are flea bags, fleas seem to love cats more than dogs & cats wander around in & out of yards, where most dogs do not.
For those of your using a combo heartworm Flea product like Revolution or Advantage Multi, remember if you are not happy with the flea portion & want to change, remember to not to forget to keep your pet on heartworm meds too.
Also remember that products you buy from an authorized dealer like your vet, or pet supplier is backed up by the manufactorer. If you have a reaction it is important to report it, so they can keep track of problems. There is an 800 number on the box to report any issues. Like anything else, products will affect different pets different ways. But products you buy from ebay or unlicensed online companies can contain anything. We have heard of outdated stuff being sold online through different sources.
Fleas are NOT fun, especially for pets. Good luck!
