    To all the anti comfortis and trifexis bozos.
    I have been using comfortis for about 2 years now and have been resolved of any flea problem. Advantage, frontline and all other similar products don't work at all...
    You are all haters because you probably work for the other companies that sell shot that don't worth.
    Have a good day losers

    Sell shot ? that doesn't work? Comfortis and Trifexis combined wouldn't sell enough in 10 years together to match Frontline Plus. Hell, they wouldn't even match Advantage!

    I have two very outside hunting dogs. We were using Frontline and eventually the dogs got a very nasty flea problem. We used shampoos, we used flea collars, we cleaned the house, we switched to Advantix, we tried everything with NO results. Our vet suggested Comfortis. We tried it on the first of the month, and fleas were gone from the dogs the next day! Of course, we still had to wait for the fleas to leave the house! We were still using Heartgard when the vet suggested Trifexis. We tried it and we love it! No fleas still! I will never go back to Advantix, Frontline, powders, soaps, flea collars....EVER AGAIN...THEY SUCK!

    I just got home from the vet. My dog had a terrible reaction to trifexis. Hives, extreme thirst, and very agitated. I spent the night trying to find something to give her relief. She spent the night sitting on my lap crying. She took comfortis and interceptor for over a year with not problem, two months ago my vet's office decided I needed to change her flea and heartworm medicine to trifexis. Today they refunded the full price of the trifexis and suggested I contact the company that makes trifexis and tell them of my dog's reaction. As you can see I'm not only telling them I'm telling anyone who will listen. I wonder what kind of a kick-back the vet's offices are getting to push this stuff when a dog is doing fine on their old medicine.

    This is complete rubbish, and this weed is easy to pluck. Hey blondie, your vet is either a crackpot or you are. All vets know how to report adverse events, so your little creative writing story about refunding money and wishing you luck with the manufacturer is hogwash. Nice try weasel. By the way, vets take all sorts of kickbacks from all manufacturers, especially from the company blog you are visiting. All expense vacations, kickback rebates, free staff lunches, free staff gifts, and all passed under the nose of IRS. Farm Animals! You all crap where you sleep.

    Nicely stated and interesting comment about her hair color. They breed armies of dumb blondes at this garbage dump. Ever wonder where the Girls Gone Wild went once they flamed out from working with cheap porn? Right here, right here. Proof is in the product line. Can you imagine anyone with any common sense trying to tell a story about IGR only products? It's a tooth fairy story with magical spells and lots of Kool Aid guzlin. Too bad they dont know they are the joke of the industry. They create great studies too. If you like reading fiction.

    Now that its getting colder and fleas are not as much of a problem we have had about 50% of our clients purchasing 6 packs of interceptor instead of trifexis. We at least are telling them neither company will proably honor the "guarantee" policy that it works since they are going back and forth between products but in these tough times most do not care, they want to save the extra $70 they were going to spend on Trifexis.

    My dog started having seizures when he was 1 1/2 the first year was bad. But for the last year he had then rarely. Then I started giving him trifexis in June of this year. He had 3 seizures in July, one in august and september. I gave him his trifexis about 5 days ago. He vomited and had seizures for the last 3 days. Today he had 2 seizures - 1 mild and the other he clenched and drooled for about an hour. Then I see this email blast from my vet for money off trifexis and at the bottom it says "use caution with dogs with a history of seizures' I am so angry that the vet did not tell me this. I am certain that trifexis is the cause. He had vomitted before during a seizure but he has since I started the trifexis. This is a relatively new drug. Please don't use it.

    Could Trifexis have triggered an increase of seizure activity in your digs w/as you just told us a History of Seizures....sure, as could anything else you feed your dog w/a seizure history. However, there are 2 problems here, both if which are clearly answers by simply looking at the box (...what a concept, read what your giving your dog w/seizure history). 1. It states use in caution for dogs with history of seizures & 2. This isn't in any way a new "drug" it's a combination of 2 drugs with substantial safety data.

    Seriously, I can appreciate your concern for other pet owners, but maybe you should start with doing a little homework on your own pet first. I don't believe for a second that Trifexis caused your dog to have seizures out if no where, but then again you already TD use that isn't the case b/c YOUR DOG HAS A HISTORY OF SEIZURES!

    Well, when its cold outside, people tend to turn on the heater which tends to wake up the flea life cycle inventory deposited within the house carpets, couch, etc. Those poor clients have been lied to, and they will probably find out the hard way. Oops! That was an interesting little sales pitch from unkown cheezy troll rep. They got no schoolin fur sher.

    To all who are anticipating using this product, stay away.

    I had a beautiful brindle pit bull until yesterday morning. This was the second time we had given him this trifexis and he is now gone, and I feel like I just lost one of my children. He was fine Monday morning 11/14/2011 and he died within 24 hours after being given this product and to say the least I'm Pissed! He was a 2 -1/2 year old 60 lb. beautiful, healthy dog and my baby is now dead, and I want resolve for this.

    He never went anywhere but to petsmart for a shampoo and get his nails cut. We have a 12 years old schnauzer and he is fine....but we've never given him this medicine.

    If you give this to your dog and he has labored breathing, stop immediately as that's what happened to my baby. The Dr. at Trifexis said it appears he had an allergic reaction to this similar to that of a human with penicillin. Yes he smothered to death....CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS CRAP!

    We just got the medicine 9 weeks ago and this was only the second tablet given to him out of the 6 month package......and he is gone and I just cannot believe it.

    I don't know why it is, but I can tell you, at least where I live (Charlotte, NC), that Trifexis is much more expensive on 1-800-Pet Meds than it is at my vet. They're selling 1 6 month supply for around $25 more than I'm paying at my vet's office.

    Right now, my 6-year old Corgi is dying at a nationally-acclaimed veterinary specialists clinic. Her liver is failing, in spite of heroic amounts of drug therapy during the last 72 hours. Neither the vet specialists nor the regular family vet believe there is any correlation between her having been on JUST TWO DOSES of Trifexis, and now her liver is failing.

    We adopted her from a No-Kill group when she was 2 years old, knowing she had a light case of heartworms, with their advice to just keep her on heartworm preventative, and see how she did. If needed, we could put her through the heartworm cure, but we didn't have to put her through the extreme treatment immediately. The expectation was that the situation would not get worse, and it might get better. In fact, she's done fine with us for these four years and been a loved family pet. We've had 7 healthy pets over the years, and here she is the one dying of liver failure.

    THE ONLY THING WE DID DIFFERENTLY THIS FALL is change her from two separate medicines of heartworm preventative and Comfortis to this one monthly tablet of Trifexis. And, she had only two doses of Trifexis in these last two months.

    Maybe Trifexis is not the culprit. Maybe her liver was going to flame out over these two months anyway, but I will never use Trifexis again on any animal in my care.

    DO NOT USE THIS MEDICINE. IT'S JUST NOT WORTH THE RISK TO YOUR PET. I suspect that my dog is just one more of the company's guinea pigs to locate the contraindications for the use of their medicine. If the nation's vets do not think it's a problem now, maybe a lot more dogs have to die to get their attention and force the company to take some precautions to warn dog owners that this product may not be suitable for some animals. The vet's techs had no such warnings when advising me that I could switch my dog over to Trifexis and save a few bucks. Two months on Trifexis, and now, after four good years, my dog is dying? I think it is far more than just a coincidence.

    I just recently bought Trifexis from our vet and so far our dog has not experienced any negative side effects thank goodness. I bought it because of the $10 rebate that was offered by Elanco and also because our dog, who picks medication out of his food, would only be subjected to one pill instead of two for heartworms and flees.

    What I am wondering is if anyone else has had a problem redeeming their $10 rebate. I sent my original mailing with all the required inclusions and was denied the rebate due to "failure to send orignal invoice", which was not true. I then faxed everything I had sent in my original mailing and was denied due to the rebate being received over 60 days after the vet visit. I just called today, was advised that Elanco was having computer problems, to ignore the last memo, and to expect a check in 3-4 weeks. I sense I am getting the run around. It's only $10, but it's just the principal of the situation. Either you're offering a rebate or you're not.

    Anyone else had this same problem?

    No problem with the rebate at all. Like you I sent everything in and the check was sent in about 2 weeks.
