Can my dog get flea bites even with Revolution and Seresto treatments?

I wouldn’t recommend using a topical flea medication at the same time as a seresto collar. Also remember Swresto doesn’t prevent heart worms which Revolution does so you would need to get a different heart worm prevention as well.

Hello, I hope I can help with your concerns about Sterling today. This does look like a tick bite to me. Unfortunately, Revolution does not do a great job on fleas. Here in the US, it is labeled for only 1 tick,

Hi ! Can you still spot presence of fleas ? You should look for flea dirt more than adult fleas, tiny black dots that dissolve when put in contact with water on a white tissue . You can use a flea comb for this purpose and then wipe it on the wet tissue to see if there is any evidence of flea dirt. If you have established that there still are fleas, then it could be that when you applied the product it did not actually reach the skin surface. I would recommend to speak to your veterinarian with regards to an additional product to kill flea eggs and arrange an appointment perhaps with a technician to show you how to best administer this treatment, good luck and I hope everything goes well !

It is possible that your dog has fleas, but with only one bite, it may have been a normal itch. Closely examine your dog's coat, particularly over the tail base and head/ears, for signs of adult fleas or flea dirt. Flea dirt resembles flecks of pepper that turn a reddish-brown when placed on a white paper towel and moistened with water. Make sure your dog receives a high quality flea preventative (such as Nexgard, Bravecto, Advantix) once per month.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can use a Seresto collar and topical Revolution on Christi at the same time. I would protect all pets in your home every 30 days with the Revolution and use prevention all year round to prevent another outbreak. Good luck and kisses to Christi!

Yes, Gidget could absolutely be allergic to her flea treatment! Topical products can definitely cause redness, irritation, hair loss or sores at the application site. They can also cause system reactions such as seizures, tremors and trouble walking but these are rare. Oral products can cause vomiting, diarrhea and decreased appetite. Dogs that have epilepsy may be more prone to have increased seizure frequency but this is also not likely. Extremely rare cases can be anaphylactic reactions of collapse and hypotension and this could be to any product. If you are seeing problems, I would recommend to switch products. While some products have the same active ingredient (like Fipronil), many are different. I have had good flea prevention and very low reactions to Comfortis, Simparica and Revolution. Remember that itching all over can be related to fleas not dying from your product, food allergy or environmental allergies. I hope I answered your question!

Yes, it could be due to a flea allergy. The black you are seeing is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I would not be overly worried about that. The lesion looks very quiet now. I would continue with the Seresto collar and if you notice this recurring or happening in another location I would have him seen by your vet for an exam.
