flea and tick collars

I just wanted to know do flea and tick collars work.

 

I think they do. I have them on all mine, but i also use frontline on all my dogs and cats

 

I never found them to work as good, only around the neck and face area. I use advantage on my 2. Garlic in the food helps too.

 

i use both spray and collars on my dogs. no problems and i'm satisfied with result. but i think it depends on what type of collar do you use. i just stay away from several brands, because i've heard about a lot of bad results with them from my friends.

 

Garlic is toxic to dogs and the neck collars may work but they are essentially a waste of money. Frontline or advantage is all that is needed and they will not cause burning of the neck and hair loss.

 

i'll continue to preach about the insecticidal ear tags for cows just staple it to your dogs collar it'll do the trick been using them for a while. local ag supply store

 

My vet told me it was ok to use small amounts of garlic. It's not as toxic as you think. Works on worms too.

 

In all my experience with collars they work to an extent such as face & neck.I use a garlic & lemon water mixture & spray it on my dogs coat..keeps fleas & ticks off pretty good.

 

If the collars work why are you using frontline too? It's the frontline thats working not the collars.

 

i use revolution for ticks, fleas, and heart worms and have had great success i would check it out!

 

I've always had success with Frontline.

 

I use a product by UPCO called "Coat and Tails" Peanut Butter, Yeast & Garlic for my inside dog and the lactating bithches. It works for us.

 

If you use a flea collar, stay away from hartz. I had a very bad experience with that brand. I use frontline on both MIKA and SAMSON. Good Luck.

 

also try vinegar and equal parts water works well
