No More Fleas? Yes, Please!!


If you live in SoCal,

and you socialize



your dogs,

I’m sure you’ve encountered

a flea

at some point.

Before moving to West Hollywood,

I lived in Minnesota, as well as Arizona and

NEVER

saw a flea!

In fact, I didn’t even know what they looked like.

Boy was I in for a

SURPRISE-A-ROO!

Little Aspen was just



8 weeks old when I saw

the FIRST flea.

I spent MONTHS

and hundreds upon HUNDREDS

of dollars trying to

rid Aspen and Yahtzee of

those little devils!

TEARS….LITERALLY.

We tried Frontline –

NO LUCK!

Advantage –

NADA!

K9 Advantix –

NOPE!

Program and Capstar –

I must admit, Capstar worked!

But it only lasts 24 hours per pill,

and at $18 a pop…

PRICEY!

We also tried

Organic, home remedies like:

Garlic, Neem Oil & Spray, Apple Cider Vinegar,

3 Mule Borax, Salt and More.

NOTHING WORKED!

We got at max maybe 2 weeks

of solace

on some of the medications.

So I headed

back to Google.   

I was at my whit’s end.

Didn’t know what to do

AND

even contemplated moving away from CA!

That’s how bad it was.

I came across a pill called

Comfortis!

Didn’t want to get my hopes up,

but was more than ready

to try

something new!

I spent the day trying to find

a vet that carried it.

of ALL places….

Vetco Burbank

(The very affordable vet located in or next door to Petco)

had it!

The pups and I quickly

went in for an office visit.

At this point,

Aspen was 5 months old =(

and poor Yahtzee

was allergic to flea bites =( =(



We were BEYOND ready.

I gave them the pills

and

ABRACADABRA – HOCUS POCUS PIE!

Within 30 minutes

Fleas were dropping

DEAD!

I call Comfortis our

magic pill!

I don’t know where we’d be today,

without it.

So here we are,

Aspen almost 2, and Yahtzee almost 7.

Flea-Free for over a year

and a half!

I swear by this pill

and thank God every month for

bringing it into our lives!

Here’s a link to


With Summer here and

in full swing,

make sure your furbaby

is protected.

PROPERLY!

  1. A dog flea brings about extreme soreness by way of licking for your puppie's blood. Several canines grow an allergy to the dog flea's spittle then may cause them to damage uncontrollably, resulting in blister and weeping skin color.
