Was wondering if any Chi owners have tried Trifexis? It is a combo of Interceptor and Comfortis. My mom uses it on her shelties and loves it.

I wanted to go with Trifexis however it starts
at 5#s and up and Mimi was only 4# so we
had to go with Advantage Multi instead which
was not my first choice but I do like that it
comes in 3-9# dosages.

Good to know. I had not even checked with vet on it yet so had no clue on weights or dosing. Thx!
After thinking about it too, I would rather dose the interceptor separate from the flea Meds as heartworm med for us needs to be monthly whereas fleas not as often.

It varies year to year ( whereas we can count on the Mosquitos year round with some months being more mild than others, but still present enough to protect against). I would say fleas need treated 6 to 9 months...and with mild winters abound, it looks like the upper limit this year! :foxes15:

Comfortis is a monthly pill! 1 pill per month. I agree & wouldn't do the interceptor with the flea med, but that's just me as I don't do an interceptor.

Well now I find out I can't even do the Comfortis! It starts at 5lbs. I have 1 that is just under 4lbs, 2 @ 5.5lbs and only 1 @ 7lbs. Since I am ultra conservative I would only feel comfortable giving it to the 7lber, so not worth it.
I am going to try mixing my aromatherapy oils and using that with the daily furminator and weekly (less if I can) baths. Fingers crossed
