Ingredients

Active Ingredient: Spinosad - 560 mg, a naturally derived insecticide that targets the nervous system of fleas, leading to their rapid elimination.

Dosage and Administration:

COMFORTIS is given orally once a month, at the recommended minimum dosage of 13.5 mg/lb (30 mg/kg).

Do not use the dosing schedule below when administering COMFORTIS to cats, as it can result in an under dosage.

• Dogs over 120 lbs should be administered the appropriate combination of tablets.

Frequency

• Administer COMFORTIS with food for maximum effectiveness.

• COMFORTIS is a chewable tablet. It is readily consumed by dogs when offered by the owner just before feeding. Alternatively, COMFORTIS may be offered in food or administered like other tablet medications. COMFORTIS should be administered at monthly intervals.

• If vomiting occurs within an hour of administration, re-dose with another full dose. If a dose is missed, administer COMFORTIS with food and resume a monthly dosing schedule.

• Treatment with COMFORTIS may begin at any time of the year, preferably starting one month before fleas become active and continuing monthly through the end of flea season. 

• In areas where fleas are common year-round, monthly treatment with COMFORTIS should continue the entire year without interruption.

• To minimize the likelihood of flea reinfestation, it is important to treat all animals within a household with an approved flea protection product.

Consistency

• For optimal results, Comfortis should be given with food to enhance the absorption of Spinosad. Consistent administration every month is key to maintaining continuous protection and preventing any gaps where fleas could re-establish themselves.

Comfortis Side Effects

• Vomiting: Some dogs may experience vomiting, particularly within an hour of taking the tablet. If this occurs, consult your veterinarian to determine if another dose is needed.

• Lethargy: Dogs may appear more tired or less active after taking Comfortis. This is usually temporary and should resolve on its own.

• Loss of Appetite: Reduced appetite may occur after administration. Ensure your dog remains hydrated and monitor their food intake.

• Diarrhea: Mild diarrhea can occur but typically resolves without intervention.

• Itching: Some dogs may experience increased itching or scratching as the fleas die off.

• Seizures: In rare cases, Comfortis has been associated with seizures, especially in dogs with a history of seizures. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog experiences any seizure activity.

• Difficulty Breathing: If your dog shows signs of difficulty breathing, wheezing, or other respiratory issues, seek veterinary care immediately.

• Severe Lethargy: If your dog becomes extremely lethargic or unresponsive, this may indicate a serious adverse reaction requiring immediate veterinary attention.
