Comfortes flea med. Available in Baja?


Comfortes flea medicine works well for my dog. I have checked a couple pet supply places in Tijuana but have not found it. Anyone know if it's available in Baja and is it only at a Vet's office? 6 pills are 96. dllrs in San Diego CA.

We have never found any supply in BAJA for this...
Always order from Petcarechoice along with the heartgard a little less expensive but still costs too much

comfortis for large dog 6 for $75
heartgard for large dog 6 for $45
our dog is under the 60 # weight so we cut them in 1/2 which causes different concerns with different vets... but so far for several years so good...

I have bought Comfortis at two different vets/feedstores in Cd. Constitucion.
For medium sized dog. 210 pesos for one tablet.

that's about the price I have paid for 1 Comfortis tablet in US (San Diego)- about $15.00 for a dog under 20 lbs.

It is expensive, and controlled vs other treatments, so harder to find. But also seems effective so worth it to avoid related costs (since my dog gets terrible flea allergies --> meds for skin irritation/inflammation/infection).

This year I changed to Trifexis, made by same company, anti-flea+ similar drug to Heartguard. I think it cost around $120 for 6 months.

This combo costs a little more than Comfortis alone, but still less than 2 separate meds. And if the recent heat is any indication, this may be a very bad year for mosquitoes.
