    It is probably quite obvious that you need to get rid of fleas from your dog. Just one single flea can cause terrible symptoms. Fleas must not only be removed from your dog but also from your house and environment so that the dog is not re-infested.

    Top spot flea treatments such as Advantage, Revolution or Front Line can kill fleas within hours.

    Using flea collars and insecticide shampoos is generally a waste of time and money as these methods are very outdated.

    Comfortis Chewable Tablets for Dogs are a meat flavored tablet that rapidly kills fleas on dogs and then goes on to prevent flea infestations for a further month (or more). Comfortis starts to kill fleas within 30 minutes of administration and will kill 100% of fleas on a dog within 4 hours. The tablets are FDA approved.

    Comfortis tablets may be a little expensive but work 100%. Well worth the extra cost.
