2. what is collar?
A dog collar is a piece of material put around the neck of
a dog. it is generally used for fashion and identification
but now a days it is one of the best preventive because
it provides protection from flea and tick for long duration
3. Flea and tick collars have been a popular choice
amongst pet owners that take their dogs outdoors
frequently. Since collars are easy to wear and are not
supposed to be instituted in the mouth of pets, they
make the challenging task of treating the pet for fleas
and ticks easy. Also, they eliminate the risk of side-
effects which oral treatments pose thus becoming the
safest method of treating the pet. Well, here are some
interesting facts about the mechanism of flea and tick
collars and all the associated information that you must
know.
4. How Do Flea and Tick Collars
Work?
Collars designed for flea and tick control have active
ingredients mainly insecticides infused in the matrix.
With the innovative control release technology, the collar
releases a small amount of these ingredients into the
skin and hair of the pet and spread them across the
entire body for complete protection.
5. How Should The Collar Be Worn
By The Pet?
he collar must be tied around the pet’s neck snugly,
leaving the space of two fingers for eliminating the
chances of suffocation. You must remove the extra strap
hanging off the collar so the pet doesn’t chew it. Rather
dispose of it immediately in the trash bin. In case the
collar is too tight, just cut it off immediately. Well, normal
collars have this risk but branded collars come with a
breakthrough mechanism that allows instant removal of
the collar in case of suffocation.
6. Can A Dog Be Bathed or
Swimmed If He is Wearing the
collar?
Normally collars should be removed when you bath or
swim your pet. However, nowadays, the latest
technology collars come with a waterproof matrix that
doesn’t allow the chemicals to wash off that easily from
the collar e.g Seresto and Bayopet. They are waterproof
collars and can be used under water. Still, you need be
extra careful not you use them too frequently under
water. Reason being, even though they are
waterproof, they can lose their 3-8 months long efficacy
significantly. In some cases, it may come down to 2
months for Bayopet and 5 months for Seresto that
usually protect for 3 months and 8 months respectively.
7. Can Other Flea And Tick Products Be
Used Along With Flea and Tick Collar?
Well, generally you must use just one flea and tick
product on the pet at a time but sometimes collars and
tablets can be used simultaneously to enhance the
efficacy when the infestation is heavy. But you must
always consult your vet before doing so because an
overdose of chemicals might cause complications in
pets. Some spot-on are readily used along with collars
but they must be completely dried off before tying the
collar.
