Yes, you can put on a flea collar but you should not have to. If you are noticing fleas even though Apollo is on nexgard I would recommend making sure all pets in and outside the house are treated, environment and yard are also treated. the nexgard should be strong enough if used every 30 days long term. hope that helps
