And I think you are supposed to wait 48 hours before getting wet for the topicals to work properly.
I was sooo happy when Nexgard came out. Now we are using Simparica which is similar but covers a few more types of ticks and my vet recommended it so we get it from her. It was a bit cheaper too  She did not have a problem with Nexgard, she was just trying to help me save a bit of money with another very safe drug that she trusts.
I use Heartguard for heartworms with no issues. |
Revolution has a two hour dry time before bathing or grooming the dog. See
https://www.zoetisus.com/_locale-ass...nformation.pdf under "Administration." I don't have any issues with any of the other heartworm treatments (except for Trifexis, which has a bad track record on safety). The only reason we're still using Revolution is because that's what the vet started Bella on when she was a puppy, and she tolerates it well. Also, it treats for a variety of pests including heartworm, ear mites, fleas, and dog ticks. Not all varieties of ticks, though.
