• Is Seresto 8 Month Flea & Tick Prevention Collar as effective or better than FirstShield Trio vs. Frontline Plus vs. Advantix II? Also, I read that large breed dogs may benefit from delaying spaying because of potential bone growth issues? Is this true?

    Hi Fernando,
    I recommend that you talk to your local veterinarian about these questions. The flea and tick prevention that will be best for your pet will depend on a few different factors including where you live and your pet’s overall health. Your vet knows your pet and can give you the best advice on this. As for the spaying there has been some research show that there may be benefits from spaying later. However, this may not be the best thing for every pet. Your vet can talk to you about these studies and recommend the best time to spay your pet.
