Comfortis flea treatment comes in tablet form.  By introducing toxins into the pet’s bloodstream that are harmful to fleas, it works by transferring the effects when the fleas bite.  In this way, the fleas begin to be affected within about thirty minutes, and the vast majority if not all fleas will have been eradicated from your pet in a matter of hours.  It will continue to work for a month, so can be given regularly to prevent further outbreaks of fleas.

To eradicate the flea problem so that it does not come back, however, so that you will have no need of the tablet anymore, you should clear the living space of your pet of developing fleas.  Unlike other parasites, which have eggs which will stick to their host, fleas’ eggs fall on to the ground after they are laid.  From there, the fleas will develop through all the stages of development until they are an adult flea ready to latch onto your pet again.  Therefore, if you do not vacuum carpets, wash bedding and treat the garden for fleas, then fleas will continue to infest your pet.  You cannot, however, prevent your pet getting fleas from places outside your control, so it might be a good idea to use Comfortis flea treatment as a preventative measure during flea season.

The tablet is chewable, but can also be put in your pet’s food if they won’t take it out of your hand.  It is made primarily from a pork based protein, so if your pet has an allergy around pork then you should not use Comfortis flea treatment (don’t worry if they just don’t like the taste of pork, though, it actually tastes like beef!).  It has not been approved as appropriate for cats, however.  They are certainly not suitable for humans either, so should be stored out of the reach of children.

For more information, and to decide whether Comfortis flea treatments is the most appropriate for your pet, it is recommended that you investigate more on the internet, visit the Comfortis website, and find out what other people are saying about it.  For the most reliable information, contact a professional – either a pest controller or a vet, who will have an expert opinion on the best course of action for your situation.
