Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As stated, these collars are intended to prevent Ticks from attaching to your dog.This is NOT a Flea collar.You may still find ticks that end up walking around on your dog, but this collar will likely kill them or keep them from biting/latching on to your dog.Here's how we started using Preventic collars:
We started using Frontline about 6 years ago and although we continue to use it today, we were finding ticks still attached to our dogs, engorged with blood.After we lost one of our dogs to Lyme's Disease, we decided to try these Preventic collars in addition to the Frontline.I know we are 'double-dosing' our dogs by using 2 products at once (and we get reprimanded by our Vet) - but after 2 years of using Frontline AND Preventic, the dogs have not had an adverse reaction, and it is VERY rare that we ever find a tick attached to any of our dogs.
***I don't recommend that everyone start using both Preventic and Frontline.We were desperate - we wanted to protect our dogs from the fate that one experienced.Using both could pose a health risk for your dog.
I've heard very good results from people who use the Advantix product on their dogs, but it is VERY dangerous to use around cats (we have too many cats that rub on the dogs) and although we did try the Advantix once on our dogs - all of our dogs had a reaction (itchy) to it.
So, until something else comes on the market that produces better results, we're sticking with the Frontline and these Preventic collars.These collars are also packaged under the name Zema - also made by Virbac, Inc. and have the same ingredient (9% Amitraz).I don't know if they are exactly the same or not.The Preventic collar states that it will kill ticks UP TO 90 days.The Zema collar (formally known as "Tick Arrest" collars) state that they kill ticks for 75 days and I've found that they are a little less expensive.
Hope that helps!
