Comfortis®  for Dogs

Comfortis® (spinosad) is the first FDA-approved, chewable, beef-flavored tablet that kills fleas and prevents flea infestations on dogs for a full month. Comfortis is:

  • Convenient. Easy to give, with no messy applications
  • Fast. Starts to kill fleas in 30 minutes — before they can lay eggs
  • Effective. Provides full flea protection for a full month

And Comfortis has been demonstrated to be safe for dogs and puppies 14 weeks and older.

Proven flea protection, in a family-friendly form

Here are just a few of the features that make Comfortis an ideal choice for convenient, family-friendly flea protection:

  • No need to isolate. With Comfortis, you can play with your dog immediately after treatment. No need to isolate from other household pets or children. Just treat and play.
  • No staining residue. Unlike some other flea treatments, Comfortis won't stain carpeting, upholstery or clothing.
  • No bath-time worries. Comfortis can't be washed, rubbed or shaken off while bathing or swimming.

 

How to Use Comfortis® (spinosad)

Comfortis chewable tablets are one of the most convenient flea products on the market today.

Use the following as general guidelines for administering Comfortis. Ask your veterinarian about your dog's specific needs.

  • Administer monthly.
  • For best results, administer year-round without interruption.
  • Administer with food for maximum effectiveness.
  • Administer the correct dose as prescribed by your veterinarian.
  • If you miss a dose, give Comfortis immediately and resume regular monthly dosing.

If necessary, you can administer Comfortis like you would other tablet medications.

  

Ask your veterinarian

Your veterinarian is your best source of advice about your dog's healthcare. That's why Comfortis (spinosad) is available through your veterinarian.

Your veterinarian can ensure the proper dosage of Comfortis and recommend other products that can help protect your dog's health. Consulting your veterinarian can help you avoid the costly — and potentially dangerous — trials-and-errors that pet owners could experience with over-the-counter products.

Your veterinarian can also make recommendations about flea treatment times and duration for your geographic area and specific household. For instance, to minimize the likelihood of flea reinfestation, it's advisable to treat all animals in your household with an approved flea product.
