can I ask what your reasoning is for using nexgard/stronghold rather than effipro?

no problem, - its simple really we just listened to what our clients wanted. Flea and tick cover for a dog that likes swimming so we looked at the possibilities within the price range that is affordable to the majority of our clients (including those not on plan) and decided on nexgard, nexgard spectra we considered but for now we will stick with nexgard. Effipro for cats we did stock for a time but had a few complaints from clients about white residue and bald patches (never really noticed it on my own cats I have to say). Stronghold gave us some cover for ear mites and roundworm along with flea and tick tx so it won.

We also looked very carefully at what others were saying about the products we were intending to use after some very nasty side effects seen when we used vectra - that is something we wouldn't want to repeat - ever.

We're milpro too at the mo - can I ask what your reasoning is for using nexgard/stronghold rather than effipro?

Oooo, I'd forgotten about the bravecto offer! Do you find that people remember to dose every 3 months well enough?
