I too use Sentinel Spectrum and it is oral and well tolerated by my dog.
This kills flea larvae and eggs among other things. If adult fleas are a problem you may need something to deal with that as well. (Capstar oral?) Don't know how this medication is for allergies.
Does the tick collar also kill fleas? If so, that sounds a great idea. I use topical Frontline Plus for fleas and ticks now and would like the collar if possible.
Have you found any disadvantage will the collar, and for how long is it effective? Thanks.
