Having been using advantix on my dogs and they are still getting ticks I was thinking of changing to one of the above. I have googled (why did I do that!) and have scared myself.... Bad for the dogs, will wreck the environment etc.

I am not sure I like the idea of the collar as my DC cuddle the dogs a lot -but the manufacturers say that is not a problem. Oral chemical sound drastic .....

I have to use something which do any of you use? I would be using on border collies. My vet says both are as good as each other so left it to e to make the decision as you can see I am incapable Confused

I have used both and personally prefer Bravecto mainly due to ease of use. I my hands both were equally in flea and tick control.

Thanks Lonecatwithkitten I do like the idea of one tablet and job done for 12 weeks.

I have used both, including on my own dog, and much prefer Bravecto. I find Seresto about 90% effective and Bravecto 100%. The other advantages of Bravecto are that your dog is not wearing an ugly grey chemical-impregnated collar with your children snuggling into it, and you can have your dogs swim and be bathed as often as you like with no reduction in efficacy.
