Thinking About the Upcoming Flea Season

A recent article posted on Dave's Garden got me to thinking about fleas again.  As much as I raved about Comfortis,  I became concerned that when I mentioned it to my holistic vet he expressed misgivings about its use for cats.  Of course it had never been labeled for cats and they had never used it this way.  Even now, as I go back and look at the Comfortis websites, it still has not changed its label to include cats, even though the traditional vet who prescribed it for us supposedly had confirmed it with the manufacturer as approved. 

The article on the Dave's Garden website includes a chart of all types of treatments, their success rate and toxicity level.  I will have to have another talk with the holistic vet about the Comfortis again.
