A convenient answer is now available at McMillan
Veterinary Clinic. Comfortis® (spinosad), is the first
FDA-approved, chewable, beef-flavored tablet that
kills fleas and prevents flea infestations on dogs for
a full month.
With Comfortis®, children can play with their dog
immediately after treatment, and there is no transfer
of the product to other pets by contact. Because it is
administered orally, Comfortis® also is a great
choice for dogs that swim or are bathed often, as
well as dogs with flea allergy dermatitis, a common
skin disease resulting from flea bites.
The active ingredient in Comfortis®, spinosad, also
is environmentally friendly. The introduction of
spinosad for use in agriculture led to a Presidential
Green Chemistry Challenge Award in 1999 from the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Fleas can be a major problem for dogs and dog owners.
Fleas can survive both indoors and outdoors throughout
the year, even in your home during the winter months.
Because just a few fleas can multiply quickly, it is important
to ensure your dog is continually protected to prevent future
infestations.
Why is it so important to prevent flea infestations?
Fleas can pose a significant threat to your pet’s health,
including the following conditions:
- Fleas can cause severe discomfort for dogs,
including scratching, chewing, biting and
restlessness.
- Fleas are the source of flea allergy dermatitis (FAD),
the most common veterinary skin condition in dogs.
- Severe infestations can cause anemia, especially in
puppies or debilitated adults.
- Fleas also can transmit tapeworm infection

Comfortis® is available by prescription only and is offered in weight-specific doses for dogs 14 weeks of age
and older. It should be given with food for maximum effectiveness.
