[QUOTE="donna723, post: 535831, member: 1883"] Yes, the Comfortis needs to be given once a month. The puppy needs to be at least 14 weeks old before you start it though. The vets office says that a lot of people are using it this year and it works really well. The only possible side effects noted can be vomiting and temporary lethargy but that's supposed to be pretty rare. Mine all did just fine with it and it wasn't long at all before everybody stopped scratching! I don't use flea & tick medications during the winter months either - I hated dumping chemicals on my dogs and I didn't do it if I didn't have to. Since I moved in to town, I've never seen a tick on one of my dogs and last year they never had any fleas either so I didn't get them the medications at all. But this year we barely had a winter at all and so the fleas are out again! I would be very leery of getting flea medications some place other than the vets office, or the ones that you can buy in the store that say they have the "same ingredients" as the ones from the vet. My friend has two gorgeous big Airedales and they bought some off-brand flea medications at Walmart. The next day they noticed that one of their dogs had big red patches all down his back and shoulders where they had applied the stuff to his skin. Better to get it from the vet where you know what you're getting. [/QUOTE]
