Nexgard or Bravecto chewable flea and tick protection
Anyone use these and how safe are they. The Nexgard is once a month and the Bravecto is good for 3 months. The Collie's and I will be in the woods this summer and want some protection.

We looked at both for our Great Pyrenees this last month. She is allergic to the liquid applied to the body.
The problem with Bravecto, it is a once/3 months dosage that only protects against lone star ticks for 2 months. As we travel into areas with those ticks, having her unprotected for a month before the next dosage was unacceptable to us.
I find it unfathomable, that they would create a treatment that leaves such large gaps in protection.
So we went with the more expensive Nexgard. For the last 2 years, it has worked very well for her.
