| Simparica (flea/tick oral medication) Anyone use it? My vet, who I trust wholeheartedly, said she's been really liking this medication. She was perfectly fine with me continuing Nexgard but said this one protects against more ticks and kills them faster. Simparica: What is Simparica (sarolaner) monthly chewable? I ordered a 3-pack to try with Jackson and Lola to see if it keeps the ticks away. We haven't been giving flea/tick meds since November (even though we've had a pretty mild winter) and haven't been seeing any ticks thankfully but I know I usually start them up on it again in March so it was time to order some. He's on Heartguard year round for heartworm. Also, it's a *tad* cheaper than Nexgard.

| My vet started Cody onSimparica this past July. I have always used Frontline on all my dogs with great results. I cannot compare Simparica to Frontline because my dogs never had fleas or ticks when on Frontline. Can only say Simparica is a chewable so it's an easy do. I stop flea / tick protection when temps stay a steady below 50 degrees usually November.

| Let us or me know how it works! I don't really have a big tick problem at our house since we moved four years ago but I want to start taking Joey to socialize him to dog parks this spring so ticks might be an issue.

Jackson is going to FL with me sometime in March where it'll be warmer so that'll be a good test.

| Simparica is a better product then Nexgard because it lasts 35 day. It ha a faster speed of kill than Nexgard and Bravecto. Topical flea and tick products are becoming obsolete. If you are a known seizure patient than orals are not recommended. |

| Just a small update. No side effects for Jackson or Lola. Have had no ticks at all and it's been warm here. So far so good.

| Feb. we had temps in the 70's, I started Cody on the Simparica because we found a new park with trails in a heavily wooded area many trees and tons of leaves on the ground, ticks LOVE leaves, he had no side affects and no ticks. I must add, Cody weighs 12 pounds, I buy the 11 to 20 pound pack. I just ordered 2, 3 in a pack from Pet Meds, with a 20 % off and free shipping making it a nice savings. They did have to contact my vet to verify this is what he was on.

| I never used Nexguard, don't know their cost. Simparica price depends on the dose, they have 3-6 pounds, 6-11 and I bought 11-22 pounds. My vet was selling 2, 3 in a pack for $111. I checked Pet Meds, they were selling 2, 3 in a pack for $88.98 with 20% off. My cost was $71.19 plus free shipping.
