What is this collar? My dog is on Simparica as well but he’s a golden doodle and when he comes into the house he’s got half a dozen riders on him. Need another solution…

It is a flea and tick collar that is good for 6-8 months. You can find it with a Google search. It repels ticks on top of killing them. Vet said it is safe to use in combination with most oral and topical flea and tick meds as long as your dog hasn’t exhibited adverse reactions to most other preventatives. We’ve been really impressed with how well it works keeping ticks off the dogs. It isn’t 100%, but it is far better than when we used Simparica alone.

Careful, Soresto collars are tied to a lot of dog deaths. Just google it

Really? Because for the last week my dog has had zero ticks.
