As a pet owner, I can attest that fleas are both a recurring point of irritation and a true concern for the overall medical safety of my three dogs.  This mental state stems from the simple truth that fleas have a unique habit of altering the temperament of every living being in your household, as well as the historical reality that fleas at their worst can spread disease.  Coupled with constant discomfort endured by your pet, as they are repeatedly attacked by a pest that consumes fifteen times its own weight in blood daily, it is no wonder that an infestation sets everyone into a panic.  It is important for pet owners to have a plan for treatment, one which is supported by a medication strong enough to ward off the dangers or fleas but safe enough to keep your pet healthy.

Comfortis is a medication designed to kill fleas which may attempt to feed on either your cat or dog.  The medication is administered in a beef flavored chewable tablet, which can be directly mixed with the food of either your dog or cat.  This is a prescription medication, so you will need to visit a veterinarian before attempting to purchase it.

Benefits of an oral medication:

• Comfortis cannot be washed off or applied incorrectly.

• The medication only needs to be taken once every month.

• The medication is long-lasting in order to prevent flea infestations.

• Once the tablet has been swallowed, it is back to everyday life with Fido and Felix.

• Comfortis works quickly and begins to kill fleas within thirty minutes of consumption

Giving your dog or cat Comfortis once a month will ensure that you ALL lead long and happy lives.  Remember that MD247.COM telemedicine program members all have access to the Pet Assure discounted pet products plan, and that plan includes discounts on prescription veterinary products.
