Elanco Launches Comfortis® ‘Point Of Sale’ Support Materials

Elanco Companion Animal Health, manufacturer of Comfortis® chewable tablets for dogs, has launched a comprehensive range of support materials to help educate pet owners on flea infestation and the healthcare issues associated with fleas and encourage enquiries about flea control solutions. The extensive range of Comfortis materials features eye-catching point of sale equipment including free-standing zig-zag display units, window hanging displays, stacking cubes, freestanding easels and leaflet holders as well as client leaflets, waiting room display kits, posters and 20% discount letterheads and postcards for mail-outs. An animation is also now available in various formats for veterinary practices to use on their waiting room monitors or websites. The animation, which aims to educate dog owners on flea infestations and complications, covers common risk factors for flea infestations, flea facts including the lifecycle of the flea and encourages pet owners to ask for further information on oral flea control options. “With many pet owners seeking their flea control solutions from other sources, such as the increasingly competitive pet superstores, veterinary businesses need to provide unique preventative healthcare services to their clients to help bond them to the practice and ensure that they return again and again,” comments Matthew Rowe, senior product manager at Elanco Companion Animal Health. “The new Comfortis support materials will help raise client awareness of the benefits of veterinary prescribed flea treatments and thereby help differentiate veterinary practice flea control solutions from those available in country stores, pet shops, supermarkets and pharmacies.” Comfortis is a fast acting, chewable, beef-flavoured tablet that kills fleas and prevents flea infestations for a full month. The convenient tablet starts to kill fleas in 30 minutes and it is 100% effective in four hours. In addition, it remains fully effective despite frequent shampooing, bathing or swimming. Comfortis can be used alongside other treatments such as wormers. The tablet is safe to administer and there is no pesticide residue on a pet post-application. For further information on Comfortis, or its extensive range of support material, please contact your Elanco Companion Animal Health key account manager or email [email protected].
