After all the terrible reactions and deaths from over the counter fleas products by Hartz, Sargeants, etc.. I wouldn't feel safe using it.
There is a new product on the market that vets can get now although the commercials won't start until February. It's called Comfortis. It is a flavored tablet like Sentinel and Interceptor and starts killing fleas in 30 minutes and lasts for a month.
The active ingredient is a product used to kill pests on organic vegetables, so it is really safe. The only downside is that it can't be used on dogs under five pounds. I guess they haven't figured out the dosing for dogs that small yet. |
