PrevenTic® Collars

 

PrevenTic® collars contain a medication that when properly worn, migrates along the oil layer of the skin, killing ticks on contact, and preventing attachment of others.  Fleas are not affected by this collar.

This is the only known effective collar for external parasite control at this time.  In some cases, additional measures need to be taken in order to control ticks if an area is infested with them.  Shampooing and dipping on a weekly basis, treating the environment the dog is in, and additional tick control medications are sometimes necessary.

Multiple treatment measures to control the tick is the best method for elimination of this parasite from your dog.
