Trifexis Contro Comfortis. Quali Sono Le Differenze Tra Loro?
Trifexis e Comfortis sono entrambe ottime scelte per il proprietario di un cane che vuole prevenire le pulci. Entrambi condividono lo stesso ingrediente principale, Spinosad . Spinosad può essere assunto per via orale e si trova in molti prodotti per la prevenzione delle pulci. Sia Trifexis che Comfortis vengono assunti per via orale.
Una volta somministrati, uno di questi farmaci impiega circa quattro ore per agire. Sono i migliori per uccidere una popolazione di pulci che esiste già sul tuo cane e in realtà non dovrebbero essere usati come prevenzione.
Come Sono Trifexis E Comfortis
Simile
Both medications are Spinosad-based flea control. Orally, they are administered to dogs. They last for thirty days, so it is necessary to administer it to a dog once a month. Once given to the dog, it takes between 30 minutes and 4 hours to kill the fleas.
Comfortis and Trifexis can be taken orally and have beef flavor. Neither of them provide any sort of protection from ticks, which depending upon where you live can be an even bigger problem than flees.
Trifexis Vs. Comfortis Differences
Comfortis only active ingredient is the Spinosad, which means that it is just a beef flavored dosage of it. It cant kill flea larva or eggs. Comfortis is the best choice if you don’t want the extra features of Trifexis.
Trifexis on the other hand utilizes Milbemycin Oximne, which helps protect the dog from a number of parasites. These include:
- Roundworms (adults)
- Adult Whipworms
- Hookworms (adult)
- Heart worms (juvenile)
The main difference between the two is whether you want to treat additional conditions with Trifexis or if your only concern is flea control. If that is the case than Comfortis is going to be the better of the two options.
Trifexis is good for killing the flea eggs and larvae. Add that to the other pests that it can kill/prevent, and it is a much more well rounded solution than Comfortis.
Spinosad Side Effects
Most of the time, your dog will experience minimal side effects from either Comfortis or Trifexis. Before giving any medication to your dog, consult your veterinarian.
It has been proven that Spinosad rarely causes the following:
- Vomitting
- Lethargy
- Hives
- Diarrhea
- Drooling
- Increase in Appetite
If your dog has ever experienced seizures, it is even more important to consult a vet before giving them either of these medications. Nursing or pregnant dogs should NEVER be given either of these medications.
A good way to make sure that your dog has less of a reaction to the medicine is to make sure that it is administered to them on a full stomach.
Comparing Comfortis/Trifexis To Frontline
Trifexis and Comfortis have major differences when it comes to the application of the medication. Frontline is applied to the back area of the dog, and is administered in liquid form.
Frontline is more of a preventative solution, whereas Spinosad based insecticides are more of a solution for a infestation that is currently happening.
