Tick protectio

[yellow dog]

That would be standard for most medications and something to consider before using. Just like the commercials advertising medications listing all the side effects . It's a wonder why anyone would take these medications knowing these potential side effects. Kinda scary !

Day two of the collar on and he has been a little lethargic but this morning back to normal,it looks like it will be ok.

I just purchased 3 doses of Bravecto for my Brittany. It was 101$ total from Universal Pet Meds. I had to pay my vet 14$ to write the prescription and then I sent it in by mail to Universal in Winnipeg. A lot cheaper than getting directly from the vet though I did it this way because my vet did not have Bravecto on hand and it is getting late in the season for treatment.

Good deal.
That's 9 months of treatment for 101 + 14 = $125.00
I get Nexguard at 6 months of treatment for $123.00 ( at the vet).

Can you double up on any of these?
We live in a tick rich area of Niagara. Our long hair puddlepointer will pick-up at least 10 ticks a day just from our back yard and as many as 50 during a 2 hour trip to the Bush.
Our vet has given us Revolution which will kill the tick if it's on her long enough but it doesn't repel them at all. The vet says that it does good for a lot of things and that we should keep using it.
I'm interested in trying the Seresto collar... should we stop using the revolution first?
Thanks for any help.

Shows at $124.25 $Can. for 3 doses of the 10-20kg dog size, plus $10 shipping, plus HST? plus the $14 prescription, not sure how you got to $101 total, am I looking in the wrong place?

Revolution is ineffective against the kinds of ticks you need to worry about for disease transmission. With that heavy an exposure you'd be best with something with a repellent and kill effect like Advantix or the Seresto collar. Either is fine to use with Revolution. Revolution is absorbed through the hair follicles into the bloodstream while the other 2 stay on the skin surface.

I put the Seresto collar on my girl three days ago and so far so good. Her energy level remains the same as well as her appetite.

Be2Man, I just checked my Visa statement and it worked out to what I said. Perhaps they have changed the price in the last few weeks? Sorry that you cannot get the drugs for what I paid. https://www.universaldrugstore.com/pet-search.aspx is the place but I don't even see Bravecto as being available at this time.

It's been two weeks now and Bella still seems fine. As an added bonus it seems the black flies and mosquitoes are leaving her alone too which is great considering how thick they are this year.
