flea control: February 2011 Archives

Trying a new weapon in the battle against fleas

New to us, anyway. 

I'd posted a few weeks ago about what seemed to be an increasing lack of effectiveness from the Frontline top spot formula I've used on my two dogs for the past several years for flea control.

So I called our vet, Dr. Richard Palmquist, this week and he's having me try Comfortis. I'll pick up the prescription today, but it's essentially a monthly pill which he said has shown good results. (It's for dogs only, the cat will remain on the Frontline or Advantage for cats.) 

I'll let you know how it works. 

Anyone out there already using this? How has it worked for you?

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
