2-PACK PREVENTIC Collar (25") - For Dogs OVER 60 lbs

This is the best tick collar I've ever found. I cut off the hard, square buckle, then use a leather punch and sew it inside my dog's regular collar. We live in a deer- infested area, and there are a lot of ticks in the grass. The dogs get a dozen a day without this collar, and never a one while wearing it. I have used it on Dalmatians and JRTs, and never had any adverse reactions to it. This year the company has had a problem with their labeling and it has been off the market. I tried a couple of other collars that don't work well at all. When I call the company they tell me it will be available again soon, can't wait!!!

I have 2 active Australian Shepherds, who spend a lot of time playing outdoors or walking with my family through areas with lots of Deer and Lone Star ticks. I'd used spot-ons before, but got fed up of having to take 2 hours per dog after every walk, picking off the ticks that hopped on for a feed. The Preventic collars not only seem to keep ticks from taking a ride - they also paralyze the tick's mouthparts so they can't bite my dogs...and if I actually find one on my dogs later, it is DEAD and can't attach. My dogs swim in their collars up at the lake - which is also one of the worst places for ticks - and I've never noticed reduced effectiveness over those multiple in and outs from the water over those vacation weeks. I do take the collar off for bathing, though. Be careful using this collar if your dog is under 1 year old; my younger pup's neck was irritated when she first was put into this collar at 12 weeks. On vet's advice, we then waited til she was seven months old, and never had sensitivities again.

This product was recommended by my vet. I have two Dobermans and I live in the country. Ticks are a big issue. One is 8 years old and blue. He has a host of genetic problems associated with his color type. My vet warned me that IF he got Lyme disease, it would probably destroy his health. It's bad enough for super healthy dogs. I had always used frontline or advantix, but these kill the tick after biting. He recommended this product specifically saying, "I don't even want a single tick biting him." I was worried that he'd have an allergic reaction. He's allergic to everything and has severe skin reactions. 3 weeks and no problems, and no ticks, and no fleas! I am very happy.

In the past I have tried Flea and Tick collars with the same results most people get, they simply never work. I live in Miami FL, which is tick season 365 days a year. Usually the ticks are at a manageable level but this summer was out of control. My laziest dog had up to 30 - 40 ticks at one point. I rushed them to the vet, they used Frontline and I thought my issues would be over. Three days later the ticks came back with a vengeance and were eating my dogs alive. I then used Google looking for a pill like Capster (24 flea killer) but for Ticks. I couldn't find one but Preventic kept popping up. I kept saying that this stuff will not work because the Flea and Tick collars never work. I was so desperate though and saw that there was more positive feed back then negative.Two days later I received the package. I placed it on my dogs and went to bed. The next morning I decided to check my dogs and was pretty sure nothing will have changed. Well I was wrong, all the ticks were gone. The ones that were still there, you could see were dying. The next day I saw that they had ticks sitting on their fur, but the ticks did not venture to the skin. So far I am on month 2 and non of my dogs have ticks anymore. Even in hidden places like ears and arm pits show not one tick.I will say this though, I have one dog with sensitive skin and after using this the first day, I noticed a burn like mark in two places of his body. I took the collar off but then saw that the ticks were coming back and since then the collar doesn't bother him. Maybe its the first initial use that got him. Watch your dogs for at least 24-48 hours.Also as a note, this collar does not work on Fleas, I use a shampoo called Sentry, which has a ingredient in it to break the fleas life cycle, kills the eggs and all and makes adult fleas sterile. Since using that shampoo, my dogs have never had fleas.

We have only used tick repellent products found in local stores, both collars and liquid drops. Then I read the reviews here after searching for a better tick repellent for dogs.The Preventic Collar is the first product that keeps ticks off of our dog. We found two ticks within a week of putting the 2-PACK PREVENTIC Collar (25") (One Size Fits Most Dogs) on our dog, one near an ear, the other on his back, but both ticks were not tightly latched to his skin. I check him for ticks every other day. He has had no ticks on him in almost three weeks of using the Preventic collar. The 25-inch collar fit our medium-size dog (about 45 pounds) with only two inches cut off the collar end.We live in a wooded area in northern Minnesota, so we have ticks showing up in May. We have a border collie mix dog that is over 10 years old, and he is an outside dog; he will not come into our house unless it is thundering outside. I looked for the Preventic collar in local stores, and found none. And the price here is as good or better than the other brand products in stores here. When I used liquid drops on our dog, he would roll in the dirt to get it off his skin, if he could. We assume the drops irritated his skin. I hope we have our dog long enough to finally let him enjoy more tick-free summers.I would have like a better estimation on delivery date. Our Preventic was sold by flea_doctor via amazon. I worried I would be picking ticks off our dog for most of May. I was happily surprised when the Preventic collars arrived in less than a week from my order date. Life is good now. A dog's life.
