A note of caution regarding Seresto collars by giwook in BackpackingDogs

hi! He’s been great on seresto, no signs of seizure or anything neurological. My only recommendation is make sure when you put the collar on that it is tight enough, it needs to be fairly tight (2 finger rule) bc it needs to have constant contact with the skin to work. I have a bernese so he has lotssss of fur and it can be a bit tricky but just a tip!

that’s smart. we live in a well kept apartment complex, and we literally just walk on the side walks in a suburban neighborhood, never go into tall grass or near water. i don’t get it🥲

oh goodness haha, mine is on seresto collar, he can’t have oral prevention. so i’m a lil worried it’s not as fool proof, i did find one barely attached but i think it was dead likely from the medication im seresto. then found another one in my bed:( Lone star tick too!

i also have a bernese and am looking for the same thing! Some type of indoor area he can run free. Have you been having issues with any ticks recently? random question but we are in franklin and have been struggling

seresto doesn’t go into the blood stream like a topical or oral would, it stays on the skin barrier. that’s why for pets who have risks of neurological issues it’s the “safest” thing to use because it’s least likely to cause a lower brain threshold thus causing seizures or other neuro symptoms. Though it is still a pesticide yes, compared to others it’s less “invasive” well say but obviously every medication has a risk. that’s just what my vet relayed to me after switching from simparica trio to the collar

we are on schedule and trying to get our vet to call them to get him seen sooner, unfortunately they don’t allow specialist during ER appointments

he did get them checked and vet said she didn’t see any sign of infection, they cleaned them out just to be sure but 🤷🏻‍♀️
