? comfortis

Basenji Talk

  • We live in florida, bug captial of the world. Have recently recieved information on Comfortis. Our vet is now carrying it. We usually treat yard and house and have had a good flea control with that in past years. We know that some new products are not always basenji friendly. Do you feel comfortis is safe for our fur kids? Anyone used this med? Would like some feedback before we make the decision to try it.


  • I know lots of other dogs that have been on it for several years and the humans are very happy with the results.

    We are in Tampa and do OK with topicals (rotating, as they seem to lose effect over time) except for the start of each years "flea season" when we have to use flea combs, sprays and topical(Advantix or Frontline) to stay ahead of the infestation, then miraculously after 2 or 3 weeks we can step outside or go for a walk without being covered!

    Some folks don't believe in any of the 'chemicals' but down here, we need strong stuff for the dogs, and something with DEET for us humans when the skeeters start!

    I am in Texas and we have the same problem..only hardcore stuff works, it seems our fleas have gotten immune to some stuff.
    We started Comfortis last spring and are very happy with it. So far no problems at all and I have three dogs using it, all various breeds all different ages. It haven't left a rash or any other negative reactio, the topical left two of my dogs (non B's) with a rash.
    It seems a little high in cost but it works..so we like it.

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.
