Hey Becky,
Roger beat me to the punch. Although I've not seen this level of death and suffering with other products, they are all ultimately built upon a foundation of "unavoidably unsafe," by the very nature of their use of pesticides.
Interesting about your little dog's deafness a month in. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Hello Becky,
The active ingredient in Comfortis is spinosad which is a neurotoxic, carcinogenic pesticide also found in Tifexis.
ALL flea / heartworm chemical pesticides on the market are neurotoxic, carcinogenic PESTICIDES...
If they're not safe to feed them to children, why would anyone give them to their pets... and you just have to read the warning labels on the box in case of human contact with these dangerous poisons to see what they're all about.
