That's where I'm at! All the girls are good. No side effects at all. And
I'm pretty sure all the fleas are gone. Just a few residual itches from the
bites.

Until this year and a one time problem 3 yrs ago I hadn't seen fleas since
around for 15 yrs except the occasional one on a foster. This year it was
horrid and I felt a bad doggy Mom cuz the usual stuff didn't work so it took
that for me to try Comfortis since there is so much bad stuff about it. But
it is the bees knees..lol. No one got sick except the fleas.

Hi ladies. I am a TRUE Floridian. Born here, and have lived here for 50
years. We take our dogs in the RV and when visiting many of the wooded
State Parks we have encountered ticks! Especially at Tomoka State Park.
Yet we frequent Fort DeSoto on the west coast and as of yet to encounter
ticks. I use the Advantix on our girls after the episode over on the east
coast at Tomoka. It was horrible!! I always check my girls when RVing now.
Fleas have always been widespread problem in Florida for as I long as I can
remember, but I do believe the ticks are trouble in particular areas.
Someone told me that they are a problem up in the St. Augustine area too.
All I will say is, I hate the darn things and they make me paranoid!
YUCK!!

Where are you in FL? We are on Siesta Key during the winter and I have only
seen one tick. Maybe we don't have them there because there aren't many or
any deer on the island?

Yes I know thanks. I have to keep an eye out too, because we live in an
area with a lot of Lyme Disease.

It is supposed to start killing fleas within 30 minutes. That is the only
flea med that seems to work for us in FL. Our boys have never had any side
effects. Comfortis does not kill fleas however so watch out for them!

Okay, after trying everything natural to rid my girls of fleas, I had to
break down and use comfortis. It was a difficult decision, but I gave it
with food, and then watched them like a hawk for several hours. So far, so
good. But does anyone know how long it takes for the fleas to die off?
Thanks,
Possum
