France again - sandfly map

[Sharon the Cat]

I've tried looking online at sandfly coverage maps. Either there are 16 different versions, or one I get to grips with is years out of date.

So, please can anyone post a link to a current map?

We're heading to Limoges but may wander anywhere really as we're across the water for just over a month.

Can't help with the map, but Advantage protects pets against sandflies - is it leishmaniasis you are thinking about?

Cant help with the map either but here 30k above Limoges it’s in the high 30’s at present so bring your sun cream with you.

Yes, I think that's the one. Harry is already taking Nexgard, which unfortunately doesn't give protection but I'm not sure about using Advantix on top of that. If necessary I'd go for a Seresto collar as I know they are excellent.
I just don't know how far North in France the sandflies carrying it are a problem.

I try not to overdose on parasite protection either. I don't know whether a Seresto collar on top of a dose of Nexgard is a good idea or not - when did you last treat him?

Our Portuguese vet recommended a seresto collar even though Chloe had been given Nexguard within the previous month. Leishmaniasis is quite an issue there.
