title: Safety of the concurrent treatment of dogs with Bravecto (fluralaner) and Scalibor protectorband (deltamethrin).
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Bravecto (fluralaner; MSD Animal Health) is a novel systemic ectoparasiticide for dogs providing long-acting flea- and tick-control after a single oral dose. Scalibor Protectorband (deltamethrin; MSD Animal Health) is a collar often used to reduce sandfly feeding for leishmaniasis prevention. This study investigated the safety of the concurrent use of Bravecto and Scalibor Protectorband at the recommended dosage regimens.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Throughout the study period of 24 weeks, there were no clinical findings related to the concurrent treatment with Bravecto in dogs fitted with Scalibor Protectorband at the recommended dosage regimen.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Concurrent treatment with Bravecto in dogs fitted with Scalibor Protectorband is well tolerated.
