This is what we use, once the weather gets a little warmer.

Hi

One of my dogs was bitten terribly in first year. His fur even fell out where he was bitten.

Last year not a bite because I bought Scalibor. It also repels sand flies and last 12 months.

Regards

Hi Mags,

We use a Seresto collar for our Eddie - it lasts 7-8 months and is waterproof.  They do two different sizes, depending on the size of your dog, and it's cheaper to buy from Tienanimal than your vet:

We've also had him vaccinated against Leishmaniasis, carried by infected Sandfly Mosquitoes.  Your vet will do a blood test first, to check that your dog (or cat) hasn't already been infected, before giving the vaccination.  The vaccination is relatively new and only about 85% effective, but Leish' is endemic in the Mediterranean basin and can be fatal, so we decided any extra protection was worth it.

Kind regards,

Kim

Yes they do, once you've added it to your basket just go through the process of buying it then add your address.

I don't order online, I go to the store in Elche, there's also a shop in La Zenia Boulevard.

Kind regards,

Kim
