Charles asks…

What is the safest flea medication for Rough collies (MDR1 positive)?

My rough collie and Shetland sheepdog both have fleas and I am concerned as to what medications I can use on them. I understand that invermectin (along with several other medications), are not recommended for collies with the MDR1 mutation and can cause severe reactions. So, I was considering using Frontline or PetArmor instead because it does not contain invermectin, but have read some pretty negative reviews regarding dogs getting sick from the Frontline/Petarmor medication. Just worried and only want to use something safe for my dogs, but at the same time these fleas are getting the best of them!!! Any information regarding this would be helpful, but please only answer if you are an experienced collie owner or vet! Just trying to get more opinions….
