It has the same ingredient in it (spinosad) as Trifexis for killing fleas.
I appreciate the info. It is all over the internet however and news stations have done stories of people claiming trifexis is the cause of dogs death. Now mind you I dont know. I most certainly am not going to sit here and say trifexis kills, or that those dogs that did die for certain it was from that or they did not have underlying issues. I personally dont know and have never had a problem with trifexis. but, if there are other options, then why not switch rather then take the chance. TO the best of my knowledge, He doesnt have an allergy to fleas, so no reason for me to stick with it.
