What are Comfortis Tablets?
They’re beef-flavored, chewable tablets you give to your dog or cat to kill fleas and prevent flea infestations for one month. Comfortis chewable tablets are recommended for monthly use in cats 14 weeks of age or older and 4.1 lbs of body weight or greater and in dogs 14 weeks of age or older and 5 lbs of body weight or greater.
What is Spinosad?
Spinosad is the active ingredient in Comfortis. It belongs to a class of antiparasitics known as spinosyns, which are derived from a naturally-occurring soil microbe. It works by attacking the nervous system of insects, causing the rapid death of adult fleas.
When should treatment with Comfortis begin?
Treatment can begin at any time of the year. Comfortis is most effective when given one month before fleas become active, with continued monthly dosing through the end of the flea season. In areas where fleas are common year-round, monthly treatment with Comfortis chewable tablets should continue through the entire year without interruption. To minimize the likelihood of flea re-infestation, simultaneously treat all animals in your household with an approved flea protection product. Consult your veterinarian for the flea treatment options most appropriate for your area. See also, what should I discuss with my veterinarian regarding Comfortis for my dog or cat?
How quickly will Comfortis (Spinosad) kill fleas?
Spinosad, the active ingredient in Comfortis, began killing fleas in 30 minutes and killed 100% of fleas on dogs and 98% of fleas on cats in just four hours in controlled laboratory studies. Comfortis chewable tablets kill fleas before they can lay eggs.
How long does Comfortis last?
Comfortis has demonstrated full effectiveness for an entire month.
Does seeing fleas on my dog or cat means the treatment isn't working?
Comfortis kills fleas before they can lay eggs when used monthly, according to the label directions. If you see fleas on your dog or cat within a month after your pet receives Comfortis, they are most likely new fleas. Because your pet has been treated with Comfortis, these new fleas will be killed before they can produce eggs that contaminate your home. Continued monthly use of Comfortis can prevent any new flea infestations.
Your pet can experience continued exposure to fleas living in the environment. It’s important to treat all animals in the household with an approved flea product to help control the flea population. Learn more about controlling flea infestations in your home.
Is it safe to give Comfortis (Spinosad) to my dog or cat?
Comfortis has demonstrated to be safe in healthy dogs and cats when used according to label directions. Use only for cats and kittens 14 weeks of age or older and 4.1 lbs of body weight or greater, and for dogs and puppies 14 weeks of age and older and 5.0 lbs of body weight or greater. The safe use of Comfortis in breeding, pregnant or lactating cats and dogs has not been evaluated.
My pet has allergies, can he still take Comfortis?
Comfortis contains beef flavoring made from a pork-based protein. If your pet has an allergy to pork, you may need to consider an alternative for flea treatment and prevention. Please discuss these options with your pet's veterinarian. The use of ivermectin at higher than FDA-approved doses at the same time as Comfortis can result in serious side effects.
What side effects might occur with Comfortis?
As with any medication, sometimes side effects occur. See the Comfortis label for complete safety information.
For cats: In some cases, cats vomited after receiving Comfortis. If vomiting occurs within one hour of administration, re-dose with another full dose. Additional adverse reactions observed in studies were lethargy, decreased appetite, weight loss, and diarrhea. Use with caution with concomitant extra-label use of ivermectin. See the Comfortis label for complete safety information.
For dogs: The most common adverse reaction reported is vomiting. Other adverse reactions reported in decreasing order of frequency are depression/lethargy, decreased appetite, incoordination, diarrhea, itching, trembling, excessive salivation and seizures. Following concomitant extra-label use of ivermectin with Comfortis, some dogs have experienced the following clinical signs: trembling/twitching, salivation/drooling, seizures, ataxia, mydriasis, blindness, and disorientation. See the Comfortis label for complete safety information.
How should I give Comfortis (Spinosad) to my pet?
Administer Comfortis with food for maximum effectiveness. Because Comfortis is a flavored tablet, it can be offered just prior to or just after feeding. You can also administer Comfortis as you would other tablet medications. Visit the Dosing & Administration page for more details, or download the Comfortis label. Each box includes reminder stickers for your calendar to help remind you to administer each dose. You can also sign up for monthly text or email reminders.
How much food do I have to give my pet when adminisering the Comfortis Tablet?
In field trials, dog and cat owners were instructed to give the Comfortis tablet with food. However, the quantity of food was not specified and Comfortis was still effective. An option is to give Comfortis immediately before a regularly scheduled meal. For free feeders (dogs or cats who nibble throughout the day), you might take food away at night, administer Comfortis first thing in the morning, then put the food back down.
What id I miss a dose of Comfortis?
Give your pet his or her regular dose immediately, then resume a regular monthly schedule. To help you remember to dose your pet, sign up for monthly email or text message reminders. For complete safety information, view the Comfortis label.
What if I give more than the prescribed amount of Comfortis to my pet?
Contact your veterinarian if you believe your pet has ingested more than the recommended dose of Comfortis. Visit the Dosing & Administration page for more details, or see the Comfortis label for complete safety information.
Should I restrict my pet's activity or contact with my pet after the tablet is consumed?
No. You can continue normal activities and interactions with your pet.
Can other medications be given while my pet is taking Comfortis?
Comfortis is not contraindicated for use with any veterinary drug/product when they are administered at labeled doses. However, while labeled heartworm preventatives are not an issue, you should not use Comfortis concurrently with extra-label doses of ivermectin in dogs and should use caution in cats. Make sure your veterinarian is aware of all products that you intend to administer to your pet. In well-controlled field studies, Comfortis chewable tablets were administered safely in conjunction with other frequently used labeled products, such as vaccines, anthelmintics, antiparasitics, antibiotics, steroids, tick control products, anesthetics, NSAIDs, antihistamines, alternative/herbal remedies, shampoos, prescription diets, and most generally prescribed medications.
What should I discuss with my veterinarian regarding Comfortis for my dog or cat?
Your veterinarian is your pet's healthcare expert and can make the best medication recommendations. This includes the prevention, control and/or treatment of parasites such as fleas, heartworms and intestinal parasites. These parasites can cause conditions including flea allergy dermatitis, anemia, and heart disease. Key points of your discussion might include:
- The best time to start flea treatment in your geographic region.
- What administration method will work best for your pet.
- What to do if you miss a dose of Comfortis.
- What other medications you give your pet.
- What to do about a severe flea infestation.
- What steps you can take to prevent a flea re-infestation in your home.

Only thing that works!
I have been using this on both my cats and dogs. It states to give it monthly, but I normally give it to them at the beginning of flea season and it seems to last. I have noticed that some are complaining about the animal not being able to keep it down. I (at the recommendation of my vet), crush it up, add water and use an eye dropper to give it to them. So much easier and my cats seem to tolerate it well.
faithful user for 15 yrs
Used whatever my vet recommended for years then one of my dogs had seizures from the A brand back in 07 switched to this brand and never had an issue with any dog or cat when they made for cats!
Very safe but for fleas only
I've used this for years very safe people are put off because its for fleas only. But ID buy this because its Proven safe and works unless you have a real tick problem ID always use this For ticks their are other products to use. Much safer than trifexis bravecto etc...
Flea and tick contol
The only flea and tick protection I trust for my sweet Pom. The topicals applied were causing mini seizures but we did not know that until we moved to Florida and needed a stronger formula. Chewable given once a month and I feel confident.
Does not work!
I bought this for my indoor cats after they somehow got fleas even though they don't go outside and no other animals come inside, no dog either. My cats still have an infestation of fleas and it has been weeks since they were given this product, nothing seems to help!
Works like a charm!
Collars or liquid flea control methods never worked for my cat. Cold weather hardly slowed fleas down either. But then along came Comfortis. What a great product! Works quicker & better than expected. I didn't even have to pill her, I just broke the tablet up to the same size as her kibble & voilá she ate it up no problem, no vomiting either. I highly recommend this product if liquid or collars don't work on your pet either. Expensive, but totally worth the cost. Very happy customer!
First time user!!
This was my first time using this company and I love them! My friends and family have said so many amazing things and finally I said I’ll try them. I ordered flea meds for my cat and they contacted my vet to get the script and within a couple days we had it at our door step! So much easier then calling the vets and then driving there to get it. I love this company!!!
I can't believe it!
I have tried everything topical! All of the best.... even vet prescribed topicals to try to get my flea situation under control. The fleas are resistant in my area to topical treatments. Just an hour after administering the medication I went to go check on one of my Maine Coon cats who has been miserable. I had him laying on a white pillowcase and all around him were dead fleas. None of my three cats vomited like others reported, thankfully! I called the vet's office ahead of time to see if I could just cut the pill in half and give it to him orally instead of crushing it up and they said that would be fine. Too expensive to waste in a mashed up food fail. I read online that it kills 100% of fleas on dogs in a controlled lab setting within an hour and killed 90% of fleas within an hour for cats. This actually went above for my cat's I did not comb out one live flea or see one live flea on any of them. They were all dead! This is well worth the money that you're going to waste on topicals that don't perform. I did not take giving my cat's an oral treatment lightly! But it's been a very positive experience. I'm glad my vet gave me plenty of refills and now I will treat my home and yard to be extra careful. If your animals are suffering from a flea infestation and your at your wit's end this is the medication for you!
Will continue to use
Works great at killing fleas fast. Both cats were scr.atching before restarting Comfortis. Stopped itching by next am. Have used lasr year, but had stopped for 6 months because they had no fleas present. Will keep using because topicals don.t work for us. We have a feral cat and a purebreed on the Comfortis. Works great!
