Comfortis is perfectly safe for dogs over 5 lbs. Must be given with a full meal( not titbits). Follow the instructions and there will be no problems. Most vets here in Perth recommend it because of the hot weather, when fleas thrive. Frontline and the other flea killers are useless in our climate. Our dog is small 23 lbs, and long haired, but we have been flea free for over 2years.
