| Flea protection Has anyone given Comfortis to their Yorkies for flea control? It is a chewable tablet instead of Frontline, etc. Brady's breeder said it is not safe for small dogs and she thought it was taken off the market. I wasn't using anything on Brady because I don't like chemicals but then I saw a few fleas on him and started using the Frontline. The problem with that is that the fleas have to bite first which bothers me because, the dog may be allergic to the bites

| Comfortis I also have my pups on Comfortis since I moved from Washington State to California. They were on Revolution which was great and had heartworm included. However, after a long discussion with WA vet, we decided to change to Comfortis and Interceptor (heartworm, hookworm, roundworm & whipworm preventative). So far, Charlie (12) and Sophia (6) seem to handle the parasiticides quite well. I don't like any chemicals on them but fleas = itch and tapeworms and heartworm needs to be prevented especially in Northern California. Ticks are a big problem since deer roam freely, so I check them daily for those creatures. Hope this helps. Warmly, Deborah

| confortis was the only flea med that worked for my 4 lb. 6 oz. yorkie-he has a flea allergy and it is great-he passed away 2 weeks ago-but, not from that-he died in surgery |
