Thanks to the fact that Comfortis^® comes in beef-flavored, chewable tablets, it’s one of the most convenient flea products on the market today.

• Administer Comfortis chewable tablets once a month with food for maximum effectiveness.
• If necessary, Comfortis may be administered like other tablet medications.
• Administer the correct dose of Comfortis as prescribed by your veterinarian based on your dog’s body weight.
• For best results, and in areas where fleas are common year-round, monthly treatment with Comfortis should continue the entire year without interruption. Ask your veterinarian about your pet’s specific needs.
• To minimize the likelihood of flea reinfestation, treat all animals in your household with an approved flea product.

Fleas in the environment

Female fleas that are living on animals produce eggs that fall from the animal into their surroundings. These eggs usually hatch within a week; larvae then emerge and spin cocoons to become pupae. The entire life cycle can be completed in as little as three weeks, with new adult fleas emerging from the pupae, to jump onto your dog. If conditions such as temperature and humidity aren’t perfect for flea development, the time from egg to new adult flea can take as long as two to four months to complete. Because each female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day there is potential for a large buildup of eggs, larvae and pupae, resulting in a constant supply of new adults emerging in the dog’s environment^[8].

Regardless of the product used to kill fleas, the dog can continue to be exposed to fleas that live in the environment. When these fleas jump onto the dog, they can feed almost immediately but will be quickly killed by Comfortis chewable tablets.

If you see fleas on your dog within a month after your pet receives Comfortis chewable tablets, it is most likely these are new fleas that have very recently emerged from pupae and jumped onto the dog. These new fleas will be killed quickly before they can produce eggs that contaminate the environment. Consistent monthly administration of Comfortis should be continued to provide continued protection for your dog against these fleas.
