Summertime is flea time! Fleas are a year round problem in Florida due to our warm, moist climate but there can be an increase in flea related problems in the months that we have a lot of rain. Besides the uncomforatble effects of itchy skin. hairlioss and scabs our pets can get a tapeworm from the fleas.Continued flea infestion can lead to flea allergiic dermatitis. A good offense is a good defense! We are lucky to have a new flea product available for dogs called Comfortis. It is a chewable tablet that provides month-long flea protection.Comfortis begins to kill the fleas within 30 minutes and is safe for dogs 14 weeks and older. We have seen good results with Comfortis and owners have been very happy with it. For owners that prefer not to use a topical product, Comfortis is a great alternative. Please contact us with any questions.
