Hi,
wanted to know if anybody's dog experienced any side effects using Comfortis, and if so, what were they? I just started one dose last month and I have nodticed that he's a bit more clingy than usual. not enough to be alarmed about but enough for me to nodtice. was wondering if anybody has experienced this in their dog.
I'm kind of on the fence with this product and odn't know whether to discontinue it and go back to Frontline Plus. I did find a tick on him last week and I know Comfortis doesn'dt cover the tick problem. confused.....any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

I give COMFORTIS to the Hooligans and haven't noticed any behavior similar to what you're describing. As far as side effects, Slider had a sizure so he gets FRONTLINE when the other Hooligans get their COMFORTIS.

I use FRONTLINE for ticks.

I used to use Frontline and it stopped working. Now all I use is comfortis. I love the stuff. Never had any side effects with it on any of the dogs.

comfortis is so far the only flea med i havent seen side affects with. Riley seized with frontline and Shelby gets a rash with advanage products. My vet recommended comfortis as very little dogs show side affects. Is it possible your dog may have just had an experience that made him a little weary of being away from you? It could be something small you wouldnt have noticed. Have you spoken to your vet about that being a possible side effect?

I looked into this earlier. If I recall, folks reported digestive issues, continued vomiting, and some reported seizures.

Good idea about asking the vet.I have to take Romy in for allergy shots in a couple of days and I'll ask then.

I gave my Max, a special needs dog, Comfortis and he was dead in six months. He was shep/mix but if I were you I wouldn't give it to any dog and I think it should be re investigated and possibly removed from the market. They told me he had Cancer and even if he did Comfortis should not have been used. Hope your best friends are ok.

Comfortis requires a prescription. There is a warning about using it with the Ivomec 1% oral solution. Says to seperate by a week. I have been using oral Ivomec over 20 years, and I just seperate by two weeks from the comfortis. We even tell people at my vet clinic to not give at the same time with HW prevention.
