Q: What is spinosad?

Q: When should treatment with Comfortis begin?

Treatment with Comfortis chewable tablets can begin at any time of the year. Comfortis is most effective when given one month before fleas become active and monthly dosing is continued through the end of the flea season. In areas where fleas are common year-round, monthly treatment with Comfortis chewable tablets should continue throughout the entire year without interruption. To minimize the likelihood of flea reinfestation, it is important for you to treat all animals in your household with a veterinarian-approved flea protection product.

Consult your veterinarian for the flea treatment options most appropriate for your area. See also“What should I discuss with my veterinarian regarding Comfortis for my dog or cat?”
