Plain-English summary
A group of dogs wearing Scalibor collars for sandfly protection were also given Bravecto, a medication for fleas and ticks, to see if the two treatments could be safely used together. Over a 24-week period, the dogs showed no negative side effects from using both products at the recommended doses. This means that pet owners can feel confident using Bravecto and Scalibor together without worrying about safety issues.

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. FINDINGS: 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.
