How to Get Rid of Fleas on Dogs and Cats

They bite. They cause itching. They drive your pet crazy. Fleas can be a serious frustration for your dog or cat – and they can be a serious health hazard too.

Found all over the United States, these tiny, blood-sucking pests play a role in the transmission of parasites as well as several canine, feline and human disease-causing organisms.

Fortunately for you and your dog or cat, Comfortis® (spinosad) works quickly to protect your pet from fleas. Comfortis starts killing fleas in 30 minutes of the first dose and killed 100% of fleas on dogs and 98% of fleas on cats in just four hours in controlled laboratory studies.
