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.

Better check with your vet before you try any of these. Collies and Shelties can be sensitive to certain chemical ingredients - I've used Frontline Plus for many years with good results, and my present sheltie Buttons has a "show coat" - very thick, but so far no sign of fleas or tick. We were in Colorado 2 weeks ago hiking on the trails and I'm sure there were ticks and other critters, but Buttons had no living souvenirs from our trip. Best wishes to you and all the collies.

We lived in WY and our vet told us that ticks and fleas cannot live in high altitudes. Our boy never had a tick but got fleas when visitors came from the East coast and brought some. (We quickly found out he was highly allergic).
