The most significant difference when you compare these flea controls is that Comfortis is a tablet and Frontline Plus is a liquid. The next biggest difference is that
Frontline Plus for dogs also treats for ticks as well as fleas and
Comfortis for dogs will only treat for fleas. So when you look at these pet products next to each other it appears as though Frontline Plus wins hands down vs Comfortis, but this is not quite the case. Although Frontline Plus treats for more things, when it comes to killing fleas Comfortis is far superior.
Once upon a time Frontline Plus was the
best flea treatment for dogs on the pet market, but now days in 2012 Comfortis is leading the pack when it comes to treating fleas. Comfortis seems to work magic for a lot of dogs, leaving fleas dead in there tracks, where Frontline Plus doesn't quite seem to do this so much anymore. Don't get me wrong Frontline Plus still works and for some people works better than Comfortis, but for most people Comfortis will do a much better job in treating fleas on your canine. One thing that Frontline Plus does very well in the way of treating fleas is, it treats for all stages of fleas which is flea eggs, flea larvae, adult fleas and flea allergy dermatitis and it is the only flea control to treat all stages of fleas.
Overall if you are looking to treat for ticks as well then Frontline Plus is the way to go, if you are just looking for the best flea control then Comfortis is the way to go. But to see a chart of Comfortis vs Frontline Plus just look below.
