Flea Collar

Flea collars are used on cats and dogs in order to kill off fleas. Flea collars are made from a special type of material that gives off a pesticide that is used to kill fleas. This pesticide will only last a couple of months at the most so the collar will need to be replaced on a regular basis to keep the collar working efficiently.

The flea collar was designed to reduce the amount of flea bites your pets gets and when they were first introduced in the 1960?s they were quite popular with pet owners. As time has passed, pets that have worn flea collars have become prone to developing skin irritations around the neck where the collars sit. Also some research shows that the effectiveness of the collar is mainly around the top half of the pet and not so effective on the lower half of the pet meaning they are more likely to continue being bitten by the fleas.
