How to get Comfortis for cat fleas? Is a vet prescription required?

Advantus chews or CapStar may be options for flea control. The only drawback is that they are given daily. Comfortis, Credelio or Trifexis are probably your best options as they are more effective that the daily chews.

No, there is no way to get one online. You have to see a vet in order to get this prescription. You can see if you can borrow your dad's dog for a walk, then take him into the vet to get the prescription. That way, you can still surprise him.

I am so sorry that your pet Tori has fleas. Unfortunately you can't get a flea pill that will last without seeing a veterinarian. These are not sold over the counter. You will have to take Tori in to your local vet to get a prescription for safe use of the pill options. I would recommend Comfortis for cats to handle your flea problem. Also she may not be sensitive to all of the topical flea products. However for the good quality topicals (Revolution, Bravecto) she will still require a vet visit first. You should also consider using a flea fogger (from Lowe's or Home Depot) in your home to treat the environment. Best of luck with your flea issues. Take care.

They make several topicals such Frontline and Advantage that last for 1 month and do not require a prescription and can be purchased from a vet or a pet store. They make a topical called Bravecto that will last for 3 months or a tablet called comfortis that will last for 1 month but do require a prescription. Typically a flea problem is more of a problem in the environment than the pet so you may want to look in to treating the environment also

Legally, we are unable to recommend this in the absence of a patient-veterinarian-client relationship and physical exam. You should contact your veterinarian. If your vet gives the okay, treat all your pets for at least 3 consecutive months, preferably year round. Your vet can dispense Capstar which will rapidly kill any adult fleas on your pets to get a jump on treatment. You will also need to treat the environment. This will include vacuuming everywhere the dogs have been, washing all bedding and using an area treatment, such as Knockout ES, to prevent reinfestation.

I would recommend either Revolution or Comfortis for flea prevention. If he has a really heavy flea load then you can first give a Capstar, which will get rid of the fleas within 1 hr and then follow up with a flea preventative for long term control. I hope you are able to get rid of these pesky pests. Best wishes with Axel. Take care.

Nexgard is an excellent product that provide tick protection in addition to flea prevention. Bravecto is a similar product, but it provides coverage against fleas and ticks for 3 months. All of these medications require a prescription. I would recommend discussing them with your vet to determine the best fit for Charlie.
