Alternative to Simparica

Well, my dog has vomited the last few times we tried to get her to take Simparica for fleas & ticks. What do you use? I had my previous dog on Bravecto. She gets her heartworm preventative in the injectable form, so she only needs flea & tick control.

I’ve used a seresto collar for years and have been very happy with it.

My Tibbie couldn’t tolerate Simparica Trio either. She now gets Credelio for fleas/ticks (her heartworm preventative is Interceptor).

Her veterinarian says that the majority of her patients are on the ST, but that some dogs just can’t tolerate it.

Thanks, Simkie and Jarpur.

I will look at both. I haven’t heard of Credelio before. Yes, I tried Simparica three months in a row. At first, I thought it was a fluke. Then the next two months she did the same. So now I cannot use it. This is also the one that my dog didn’t eat and my cat did. :cry: We lost our kitty because of it. I’m still kicking myself that I didn’t catch it.

Thanks. :frowning: I miss him. He was already sick, so that didn’t help.

I understand. I’ve had tons of dogs and there have been accidents and tragedies with some of them. Some were unavoidable , some weren’t but I didn’t know until
After it was over and I still beat myself up. Try not to do that .
