Yes a Seresto collar and Nexgard can be used together, however both Nexgard and Seresto are highly effective against fleas and ticks and therefore it is not necessary to double up. You can just as effectively use either on its own.

    Yes, it is safe to use Nexgard with a flea and tick collar. However, Adams products are fairly low-quality. If you are concerned that Rufus needs extra flea and tick prevention, I would recommend using the Seresto collar with Nexgard.

    Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can definitely use both products at the same time. You won’t need the flea collar when you use the Sentinel. Also, the only flea collar that works is a Seresto collar. Every other collar just keeps the fleas away from the neck and fleas like to live near the tail anyway. I would just use the Sentinel only and not a flea collar. Kisses to Kona!

    It is safe to use both at the same time, but not necessary. This will depend on why your dog was prescribed Nexgard. If it was for mites then your dog should take it and you can take off the seresto collar and put it in a container and reuse it later. If the seresto collar did not work any more repelling fleas , and ticks, then I would remove it also.
