Avoid at all costs
Tablets Orange (For Dogs 18.1 - 27kg, For Cats 2.8 - 5.4kg)Within 30 minutes of giving our cat half a Comfortis tablet she was running
round the house, unable to breath, her eyes were starring and she kept
falling over. We immediately rushed to the vets where they put her on a drip
and gave her steroids. Later that evening she was transferred to an animal
hospital and monitored overnight. It took 3 to 4 days to recover but she has
been left totally deaf. I cannot understand why this drug is on the market
and being sold by vets.

The only treatment that has worked!
Tablets Green (For Dogs 9.1 - 18kg, For Cats 5.5 - 11.2kg)We have 3 cats and a 15 year old Golden Rereiver, all of which had horrible fleas over the summer. No matter what we did they wouldn't leave our pets alone. We tried Revolution, Advantage, baths, dusts, the lot! And nothing!
Finally our vet recommended Comfortis. Yes, it is expensive! We could have gone out for a nice meal instead.. Ha! But I never imagined these results. Within 30 mins the fleas started dropping off. Our pets were all agitated! Scratching and Running around, as I imagine the fleas were uncomfortably dying!
Over the course of the evening the cats all settled and slept on our bed with us. Which is unusual.. But I guess they were feeling a little strange and needed comforting. Our sheets became a crime scene in the morning. Dead fleas all over! The best thing to wake up to. Honestly!!
Comfortis cleared up our dog and 3 cats within a day. Following treatments were just as effective! So far 3 months clear.. Very happy!
Killed my cat
Tablets Green (For Dogs 9.1 - 18kg, For Cats 5.5 - 11.2kg)My cat started having seizures and eventually killed him at 2yrs old. I didn't realise until after and heard something about it and started researching and completing shocked how they can even sell this product.

Killed my cat. DO NOT USE
Tablets Green (For Dogs 9.1 - 18kg, For Cats 5.5 - 11.2kg)I gave a small amount of one of the pills to my cat, which was well under the weight limit. By later that day he had stopped eating. We went to the vet and they thought it was simply constipation caused by dehydration from the fleas. Went home with an oral laxative. Later that week he was dead with signs of liver and kidney failure. Spinosad, the active ingredient (which is a pesticide) should not be ingested by humans or animals. It kills the fleas because it is poison. Do NOT give this to your animals you are essentially poisoning them.

I wish I could rate it negative 5
Tablets Orange (For Dogs 18.1 - 27kg, For Cats 2.8 - 5.4kg)Within hours my old cat was given 1/2 tablet, he was not able to move - experienced symptoms of ataxia. We took him to our vet and numerous tests were done but all came negative. He was put on steroids and initially improved but never fully recovered and died within a few months. Had I known what I have learnt since, I would have never given Comfortis to him of course. I would have not taken him to the vet either and instead I should have applied chemical detox drops about which I only found out when it was too late.

Caused neurological issues in kitty
Tablets Green (For Dogs 9.1 - 18kg, For Cats 5.5 - 11.2kg)I have two animals, both received their treatment on the same day.
One had no issues the other began falling, unable to hold himself up, his back end seemed to have partial paralysis. He continues to have trouble walking, he shakes, his head "wobbles". He doesn't appear to be in pain but after thousands of dollars at the vet, x-rays, blood work, etc The only thing that changed was Comfortis.
I do not recommend this product.

Killed my cat not the fleas
Tablets Orange (For Dogs 18.1 - 27kg, For Cats 2.8 - 5.4kg)This is a highly poisonous product, was given by the vet to use on both of my cats, one of which vomited immediately, the other was unable to breathe 3 hours later and passed away. Now one is left without his friend forever.

Killed fleas and my cat
Tablets Orange (For Dogs 18.1 - 27kg, For Cats 2.8 - 5.4kg)We’ve given our 11y/o cat Comfortis two times in years past. Last night we gave him a dose. He went from healthy, happy and normal to dead in 8 hours.

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT
Tablets Orange (For Dogs 18.1 - 27kg, For Cats 2.8 - 5.4kg)Gave Comfortis to my darling girl and within a few hours she passed away. Just wish I had read these reviews beforehand. I will regret this for the rest of my life. How can such a toxic product be in the market?

Makes cats sick
Tablets Orange (For Dogs 18.1 - 27kg, For Cats 2.8 - 5.4kg)Makes cats sick. They vomit every time. Sometimes within an hour, sometimes later. But every time. Cats hate it. They do not chew it like a snack. Not worth high cost. Ineffective. Company is indifferent to concerns. Took a lot of information, but refuses to do anything. Thus, wasting my time as well.

Sad Day
Tablets Orange (For Dogs 18.1 - 27kg, For Cats 2.8 - 5.4kg)We gave Comfortis to our cat yesterday morning and we found him dead this morning. He was healthy and only four years old. He was the best cat ever and we are heartbroken.

Believer!
Tablets Green (For Dogs 9.1 - 18kg, For Cats 5.5 - 11.2kg)My dog and 3 cats (and my apartment) were infested with fleas. This even though I had been using the spot treatment once a month. I made an appointment with exterminator and the night before he came I gave all 4 animals Comfortis. The difference was amazing! My part Siamese cat had developed sores from scratching - she is completely healed. It wasn’t fun giving the cats the pills but it was well worth it!

KILLED MY BELOVED CAT!!
Tablets Green (For Dogs 9.1 - 18kg, For Cats 5.5 - 11.2kg)Just three days ago, I gave my cat the second round of this medication, exactly a month to the date. 4 hours later she is contorting on the floor, unable to breath and died within minutes in the car on the way to the emergency vet. I am heartbroken and distraught. Our family has been torn apart by this 100% preventable tragedy. Please, trust the reviews and do not buy this product. Do not risk their lives. I will forever regret and hate myself for making her take something I thought was going to help but instead ended her life.

A Game Changer
Tablets Orange (For Dogs 18.1 - 27kg, For Cats 2.8 - 5.4kg)I read a lot of reviews and researched this product for hours. I was worried about the side effects and the horror stories of people losing their pets after taking a single dose. I have two Siamese cats, one is two years old, agile, powerful and weighing in at 12 lbs., the other guy is 9 months and easer to control, he weighs 7 pounds. The little guy contacted fleas at the vet during his neutering and eventually I had a full infestation in my house. I tried a number of products, advantage drops, flea collars, Adams cat flea spray, Raid Carpet/U
... Read morepholstery spray, Ortho Flea indoor home spray. I bombed my house and used other products including home remedies. I watched a couple of videos on how to give your cat a pill and it took me about 20 seconds to administer, even the big guy made it easy for me. There were absolutely no side effects, I guess I got lucky. I flea combed both cats 4 hours later and found several dead fleas under their fur and a few in plane sight. I found throughout the next several days one or two dead fleas on the cats and the areas where they hang out and sleep. I found no living fleas and eventually no dead fleas in my house. I continued to treat the house emphasizing on getting rid of flea eggs and the other stages of the flea cycle. The bottom line is that for my cats this product worked as advertised and my cats handled the drug well. I won the war!Purchased in .

Questions & Answers
My 13 lb. dog had 1/2 comfortis pill 2weeks ago. Can I give her a sentinel pill (her usual monthly flea tick and heart worm med) now?
price for comfortis orage 6 pak?
I was given a litter of 6 to 7 week old kittens. The person said she crushed up the smallest size comforts for kittens (4.1lbs or 14 weeks) and have each kitten (5 of them) a small amount. Should I panic or will they be ok?

Elanco Comfortis can cause severe reactions when it comes to flea prevention
Elanco Comfortis is made to prevent flea infestations in both cats and dogs who are 14 weeks and older. Elanco states that the product starts killing fleas in 30 minutes, allowing you to ‘simply treat and play.’
It’s important to note that for several reviewers, administering this medication to their pet caused concerning side effects such as illness and even death. This sometimes happened the first time a tablet was given, and when pets were young and healthy.
Even though some flea medications may be vet-recommended, adverse reactions are a very real possibility with these tablets.
Other reviewers who gave Elanco Comfortis positive reviews did so because their pets didn’t experience any negative side effects.
A number of these positive reviews were written in relation to pets who suffered from an existing flea infestation - rather than flea prevention. However it can be hard to predict a reaction, so it’s advisable that the medication is given to pets with caution and careful monitoring.
