If you're using NexGard for your dog's flea and tick protection and are considering adding a Seresto collar, it is generally safe to use both products together as they work in different ways and provide additional protection. It's always a good idea to consult your veterinarian for personalized advice on parasite prevention for your pet.
- NexGard is an oral treatment that kills fleas and ticks when they bite your dog.
- Seresto collars release active ingredients into your dog's skin and coat, providing a repelling and killing effect on ticks and fleas.
- Using both can offer enhanced protection, especially in high-risk areas like wooded or grassy environments.
Providing comprehensive protection against fleas and ticks is important as these parasites can transmit diseases like Lyme disease and tapeworms to your pet. By using both NexGard and a Seresto collar, you are employing a dual-action plan that targets these pests in multiple ways. However, every pet is unique, and you should monitor for any adverse reactions when introducing new products.
For personalized advice or if you have any concerns about the safety of combining these products for your pet, it is best to book a consultation with a licensed veterinarian at Dial A Vet.
