Eli Lilly has hit a "grand slam" with their new flea pill, Comfortis. This new flea product
is a 30-day flea pill, killing fleas throughout the thirty day period. Spinosad, the active
ingredient in the flea tablet, works on the flea's nervous system causing involuntary muscle
contracture and paralysis, leading to death of the flea. Spinosad, while being extremely
toxic to the flea, is harmless for all mammals.
The distinct advantage for Comfortis is that there is no mess after administering, like many
of the topicals on the market today. Pets can be bathed before and after, and can be played
with by your children without risk of coming in contact with the medication. The disadvantage
for Comfortis is that it does not work on ticks.
We are very pleased with Comfortis and its ability to help our patients become flea-free in a
very short period of time. This product is available in a 6-month supply box, or you may
choose to purchase one-month’s supply at a time.
Please visit the Comfortis website for more information.
