We use comfortis, the pill, and love, love, love it! We've been using it for about 3 or 4 years, and have not had a flea since. At one point we were having to do a rotation every two weeks of the topical treatments, switching them out constantly, and we still had fleas. We did a single dose of capstar, which kills all fleas within thirty minutes and lasts for only 24 hours, then we started the comfortis. We haven't had a flea since.

We've thought of switching to trifexis, which is a comfortis/heartworm combined pill. But for right now, we give both separately, and it seems to work. (We also don't give comfortis the same day as heartgard. I'm just old school on that. )
