Yes, it's safe to use the Advantix flea collar, or other flea collars with the spot-on treatment. Keep in mind that controlling fleas on the dog is just half the battle. You will also need to try and kill the fleas in the environment to help keep them from getting reinfested. Below is a link to a good article that explains how to best get rid of fleas. https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-tips-to-get-rid-of-fleas I hope that helps and all goes well with the flea control.
