I've given Monster comfortis and it works great. He only gets it when fleas are bad and there's practically none around right now. With any medication there's a risk of the dog having a bad reaction so it depends on the dog and how bad the fleas are if you wanna take the chance. I think there are more dogs that it has worked for than have had reactions. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Plus I think the fleas like the ticks and black widow spiders and other pest we have here are so much worse this year. One reason is because of the tornado damage that was done that destroyed their natural habitats. Anyway, I am talking to the vet Monday about the Comfortis, (sp) has anyone else used it and what kind of results did you have?. I AM ALSO LOOKING INTO THE Diatomaceous earth, even though it did not work for Bogie it might work for Itsy.. We never had any idea exactly how old Itsy was and she is in heat now. Not letting her get with another dog but just wondered if the female hormones generated from the heat could cause the medication to not work anymore? Thanks Sheila
