FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the benefits of using this product?

Kills through contact so fleas don’t have to bite to die
Water resistant

What is the difference between this product and oral flea products?
This product is applied to your pet around the neck and kills fleas through contact with the product on your pet’s skin, so fleas don’t have to bite to die. With oral flea medications, fleas must bite your furry family member and be exposed to the medication in the pet before the fleas are killed.

Can I apply a flea & tick squeeze-on to my dog after I have applied the collar?
No. This will put your pet at risk of an overdose of flea/tick product.

Can you use oral flea & tick medications with this collar?
No. This will put your pet at risk of an overdose of flea/tick product.

How do these products spread over a pet’s body? How long does this take?
The collar uses sustained release technology by releasing the active ingredient at a steady rate for up to 6 months. The dog’s natural oils help to distribute the product through your dog’s skin and coat providing full body protection. It should start working soon after application, but maximum effectiveness may not occur for 2 to 3 weeks after placement.

How does this product work?
This product combines two active ingredients:

Deltamethrin attacks the flea’s nervous system – paralyzing and ultimately killing it.
Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that prevents flea eggs and larvae from maturing to adults


This combination plays a crucial role in existing infestations, because:


In an existing infestation you might only be aware of the adult fleas, which only represent around 5% of the full infestation and are found on your furry family members.
Immature flea life stages (flea eggs, larvae and pupae) which live in your furry family member’s environment consist of around 95% of the infestation and can be almost invisible to the naked eye.
