Need tick protection for dog on Sentinel Spectrum. What's safe?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 66 lbs

Hello, I want to use Sentinel spectrum on my dog noticed it does not cover ticks too. We are in a tick area, what product can I use in conjunction with this? I don't want to double up. Would something like Advantix be suitable? Thanks!

Hi there! Yes, Advantix would be a very reasonable choice to use along with Sentinel Spectrum. You could also use Nexgard or Bravecto for tick coverage, if you prefer an oral medication instead of topical.
