[Dailydrool] FYI Tick Stuff

[Elizabeth Lindsey]

My vet told me that Trifexis is basically Heartgard and Comfortis  
combined in one chewable. Comfortis is a chewable flea preventive; it  
doesn't kill ticks, just fleas. Although expensive, trifexis is still  
cheaper than buying Heartgard and Comfortis separately.

I've been giving our Elsinore and young Charlie Comfortis for the  
last several years because Advantage and Frontline no longer seem to  
work on fleas, but Comfortis does. So now they're on Trifexis for the  
first time. So far so good, but they've only had one pill so far, and  
the fleas haven't really started up for the season yet.
