[Dailydrool] Arizona and Comfortis

[Bleu Hound]

hi rebecca;


  bleu uses Comfortis during the spring/summer/fall months when the 
fleas are everywhere.    I break the Confortis pill in half and crush it 
to a powder then mix it in with his morning food (have to put some extra 
good stuff so he'll eat everything) and then do the same with the 2nd 
half of the pill in the evening.  This seems to work for him (he spits 
out anything that wasn't made with "clucked", "mooed", or went "oink 
oink".   I'm not sure what a salmon sounds like, but he likes those too...)

he doesn't scratch from all the little fleas after eating half the pill 
in the morning and the other half in the evening.
