TevraPet Activate 2 Flea and Tick Collar, Large Dogs, 12 Month Prevention

I bought these flea collars for my dogs on May 22, 2926. This collar does not work, in fact, my dogs has more fleas than before I put his collar on him! Do not waste your money!

Honestly, my buddy just told me that he paid $260 for his dog's flea and tick meds for one year. I felt terrible about it and went right home and sent him the info on this collar. $28 for one years worth of flea/tick/mosquito medicated collars (2 in the package, each last 6 months) Super strong, super durable, super safe. as good as other collars at 1/4 or less of the price for the others. I recommend them but if you are concerned, ask an online vet...they will tell you that these are as good, or better than the others (unless the Vet has a financial interest in guiding you into buying another brand. No hair loss, no scratching, no odor and absolutely no fleas or ticks! We like that, eh? $28...wow!

If anything I feel like the fleas have gotten WORSE since I purchased this flea collar. She uncontrollably starts chewing and that didn't happen until this collar. She has raw/hot spots, and while she may have lost a lot of fur, she didn't lose her fleas! I've never had a problem with seresto collars but tried to save a couple dollars with these but basically threw my money away. I bought the collars in July, gave her a flea bath, brushed her, dried her, put on the collar. As I noticed the situation getting WORSE instead of better I decided maybe something had happened with the first collar and that I should move to the second. (This was the begining of September/end of August) I disposed of the first collar, treated her and the house and everything, and put on the second collar. Now, here we are in the first of October and my poor pup (she's 2, almost 3, not really a pup) and the situation is absolutely MISERABLE for my baby. I have her dressed in my kids clothes while her skin and fur get a nice saturating soak with treatment to heal from the flea bites and whatever chemical is proving toxic to my dog. It's absolutely awful. Raw and red patches, scabs, her skin is so dry and flaky and the fleas are ridiculous! I can't believe what a waste of time and money and my precious pups health this was. 😡 For the record, she is a boxer/English Bull Dog. Maybe it didn't react well with her skin type but I will never purchase anything from this brand again.

This definitely works, and I'm in Florida where we are run over with fleas outside. I had a problem with my shih Tzu though- he stayed up all night the first two nights he had this collar on. About 3am on that second night, I removed the collar but I could still smell it on him so I bathed him, and he went right to sleep and no more issues. He seemed to be extremely anxious. He has never behaved this way before so I have to think it's something in the collar because it was the only thing that we changed. It does work though. It's a quite strong floral smell.

I bought this for my pair of pups and it worked great on one, not so well on the other. My boxer is flea free and no negative reactions with this collar. Worked just as well as the Bayer ones that I was paying a lot more for. He of course had very short hair and is under a year old. Also havnt found a single tick on him since putting the collar on him about a month ago. My German Shepherd on the other hand it didn’t seem to work as well. I found fleas on her still and she was scratching at the area under the collar with her hind legs like it itched. Her neck had a little bit of redness underneath. She had much longer hair being a shepherd and sensitive skin and stomach as common with her breed. The Bayer collars worked just fine even with the longer hair and never once had any reactions from them. I used them for several years now, buying one for her and my outdoor cat at beginning of spring each year and leaving them on until winter when the fleas are gone on their own.

Ok,after reading reviews and seeing pictures, I was very hesitant about trying this product. I normally use soresto collar,and never had any issues,except for the price. I have 2 Boxers,1 is white and has sensitive skin.She never had any reaction to the Soresto,and I saw the same thing with their reviews,certain dogs have a bad reaction or skin allergy to the collar. I decided I would give this product a try. Upon opening it,it does have a very strong smell,not necessarily bad,but strong. Before putting it on my dogs,I hung it up,outside in direct sunlight for about an hour. The aroma was still present,but...no where NEAR as strong as when opened. I put the collars on both dogs and watched them VERY closely for any reaction or side effects. No reactions from either dog! No skin irritations, no vomiting, no diarrhea, and best of all,no fleas or ticks at all. Not sure about mosquitoes, but i have a lot of them in my area,and have not noticed any of the "raised welt" bite marks typically left on my dog. To sum it up,so far,this has been a great product,and a huge savings. All dogs are different, will your dog have a reaction? I wish I could tell you no. But,my sensitive ,runt,white boxer girl,and my fawn girl,did just fine with these. If you try it,do like I did and air it out for an hr,and watch the neck area close for the first few days. If you notice something different,TAKE IT OFF! If your a good dog parent, you'll know right away if it's no good for your pal. UPDATE:AUG.21 2021... My girls have now had this collar on almost all summer. We've been swimming,outside at the park,and spent 2 wks in the mountains of W.Va. I have not found a single flea or tick on either dog,and there has been absolutely no hair loss or irritation on the neck area or near the collar. Again,all dogs are different,but this has been a great product. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, but strongly suggest watching your best friend closely for the first few hrs/days. Also make sure you read the bad reviews for the soresto collars,exact same reactions,with certain dogs.

I've used this brand for YEARS and been satisfied, until now. They just have changed the formula because within a few weeks of putting this one on my dog has fleas. I should've such with the $10 collar I got from Walmart last year. Subscription cancelled.

Doesn't work very well wouldn't recommend
