What's the best flea treatment for my itching Australian Shepherd?

Question

What would be the best thing to give my australian shepherd to treat fleas? He is a year old and weighs about 40 pounds. We've tried a few different flea collars and none have seemed to work. They aren't as bad on him as they used to be but I just dont like to see him itching alot because I know it's annoying and bothersome for him. Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 40 lbs

The top quality flea preventatives out there are Nexgard, Bravecto, Simparica, or Credelio. You can also try Advantix over the counter, but his has variable results. The itching is likely because he has a flea allergy. If this still doesn't resolve, then a vet visit is needed for allergy medication. I do hope that Ruger's itching and flea problem resolve soon! Best wishes and take care.
