Simparica vs Comfortis

Compare Simparica Chewables to Comfortis Tablets

How do these two popular products differ when it comes to treating your pet for fleas?

Simparica chewables and Comfortis tablets are monthly treatments that help prevent and control flea infestations. They both work by killing existing adult fleas, then killing any new adult fleas before they can lay eggs, thus breaking the breeding cycle.

Simparica chewables also kill ticks such as deer ticks, Lone Star ticks, Gulf Coast ticks, and brown dog ticks.

You may also wish to consider the age and weight of your pet, and whether you need to treat both dogs and cats.

Simparica is only for dogs over 6 months of age, and with a body weight of 2.8 pounds (1.3kg) minimum. Simparica should not be given to cats.

Comfortis can be administered to dogs over 14 weeks, weighing 5 lbs (2.3kg) minimum, and cats over 14 weeks, weighing 4.1 lbs (1.9kg) minimum.
