Review on 🐶 Virbac Preventic Tick Collar: Ultimate Protection for Small/Medium Dogs, 18" - Get Yours Today! by Jeremy Therrien

We live in North Central Arkansas where the Lone Star and Blackfoot Deer ticks occur. Our site is surrounded by cattle pastures where we also see deer coming and going through our yard. Luckily we don't have any flea problems. I have been using prevention collars on our dogs on and off for about 17 years. Working Chemical - Amitraz 9%. I wanted a product that didn't require me to do dips in Permitrine every two weeks and something that lasted longer than the monthly topical Frontline (Fipronil). The latter began to lose effectiveness after a year or two of use, being effective against ticks for only two weeks instead of four. Also slightly cheaper than the Seresto tick collar or the Scalibor tick collar which worked but were too expensive. For the past 4 months my vet has been prescribing NexGard (Afoxolaner) chews for my 28lb terrier and 49lb labrador when he found fleas on my terrier's back. And since NexGard works on both ticks and fleas, I bought a 6 month supply. It worked great on fleas and flea eggs and killed attached ticks, but I wanted a product that would prevent tick attachment because I was tired of watching my dogs shed dead ticks. I thought about Preventic and how well it worked on my German Shepherd, but the local pet store stopped selling it. This collar easily attaches to the dog's neck with a simple clasp and the collar appears to have a pleasant mint scent. I used it on both dogs and didn't notice any side effects after three days. The label says this collar is for dogs up to 50lbs but it barely fits around the neck of my 49lb labrador who is not overweight. neck time. I'll buy her a big collar. Three cats have had tick paralysis problems for 19 years since they've lived here, and treatment is expensive. Therefore, tick prevention is essential. We had a cat that lost her eyesight due to tick paralysis. Treating this disease in dogs can cost as much as $500, so keeping it as a tick preventative is key here. These tiny specks appear as soon as they are very hungry and quickly dissipate (it feels like a thin mesh has tickled your skin and then itches when they find a place to bite) in In this case, a small spray to carry a bottle of diluted ammonia water is fine. I use this when I'm walking down paths and suddenly notice they're bombing me. For our cats and dogs, the best I have found to relieve this tick condition is fipronil spray, an alcohol mixed with a 0.29% fipronil solution and in 250ml and 500ml -Bottles sold. Preventive tick collars are made in France. from Virbak.
