The Benefits of Using Comfortis for Flea and Tick Protection

<< BACK TO BLOG

You’ve declared war on fleas and ticks on your dog. In the same way that Gen. Westmoreland wanted high body counts every time the enemy was engaged in Southeast Asia from ’65 to ’75, you want the same assurances to vast numbers of fleas and ticks being killed on your pet. One of the benefits of Comfortis for flea and tick prevention is that it is proven to wipe out the near entire population of parasitic insects that are tormenting a dog. If you’re looking for that type of lethal assurance, Comfortis flea medicine is your best choice.

Looking for more concrete details about the benefits of Comfortis for flea and tick prevention? How about numbers that will put some emphasis on the way this flea prevention pill for dogs can deliver the same type of ‘body count’ decisiveness. Eliminating 98% of an infantry would render an army useless, and if that’s bumped up to 100% there’s absolutely no one left to keep up the biting and bloodsucking. And those are the numbers here – Comfortis kills 98% of fleas on cats within 4 hours of the cat taking the medication. 

It’s even more effective for fleas on dogs – 100% of them dying from Spinosad (the active parasiticide in Comfortis) within that same 4-hour timeframe. What makes this ingredient so lethal? Well, we’re not toxicologists but Spinosad hijacks a flea’s nervous system and their bodies basically go into intense neurotoxic shock and the flea dies as a result. But hey, ask the dog or cat owner about that and they’ll say that’s what you get for choosing the wrong pet! Definitely part of the benefits of Comfortis for flea and tick prevention.

Fact Check First - Get Bravecto for Fleas AND Ticks

Right, we’ve been talking about Comfortis for fleas AND ticks but we need to do a one-80 here and tell you that Comfortis is for flea prevention only. Comfortis doesn’t kill ticks, and the only consolation in that for some pet owners is that ticks aren’t as much of an everyday problem compared to fleas. For a lot of dogs at least. Ticks can carry diseases though, and Lyme disease for dogs in particular. 

So if you’re living in an area of America that is known to have more ticks falling out of trees and landing on pets then you may want to guard against both fleas and ticks by using Bravecto. It will have nothing to do with the benefits of Comfortis for flea and tick prevention, but that’s just fine as Comfortis is not used for flea AND tick prevention – just flea prevention on dogs only. 

Good news there though. Bravecto is just as much of a rank obliterator for ticks as Comfortis is for fleas. Bravecto will kill the ticks on your dog or cat within 12 hours of administration. It doesn’t have quite the same 100%-of-them guarantee for dogs like Comfortis, but any of the ticks that do survive will be too sick to continue and will let go of their bite and fall off the dog. Same mission accomplished for all intents and purposes.
