Seresto Collar

[Hixie]

First, I did some searching and did not find anything on this topic; I apologize if I missed it.

As has been mentioned on this site lately, tick season has returned at least up here in the Northeast and I've removed at least 50 live ticks from my setter over the past two weeks alone.

We have him on Nexgard which is effective at killing ticks that bite him and draw blood, but he still brings live ticks into the house regularly. I wanted to try something else that could help prevent that. After reading around and talking to my Vet, I decided to try the Seresto collar. It is supposed to repel ticks to prevent them from getting on the dog in the first place, but then it is also supposed to kill them on contact.

I was just wondering if any PGCA folks have experience or other thoughts on this collar or other options for controlling ticks. Feel free to chime in!
