Is a tick collar safe for my dog already on Bravecto and Lyme shot?

Updated on September 23, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Black Mouth Cur | Male | neutered | 9 months and 16 days old | 56 lbs

Finn has a Lyme shot and prevecto. Would a flea/tick collar be helpful or unnecessary? We are in an area with many ticks

Use caution when combining flea and tick preventatives. You can inadvertently cause an overdose in your pet. Bravecto is one of the many new preventatives on the market. It should be sufficient on its own. Discuss your concerns with your veterinarian before using an additional method of tick control on Finn.
Check him daily for ticks when he comes inside.
