Yup. I've used Bravecto for years now. I have never seen a flea on my k9's, and only one tick 6-7 years ago while using topical (frontline).
Use heartgard as well.

Last few years I have washed my yards with Dawn and a hose end sprayer,much cheaper than what I was buying from the Vet and now my dogs don't puke
They rarely get a flee and that is from our daily walks around the hood

As far as collars go, we like the Seresto Collar. It has the same stuff and is made by Bayer, makers of K9 Advantix. Amazon seems to have the best pricing.
