Collars are a simple solution to killing fleas, but they vary in how effective they are. Some collars a gas that is poisonous to fleas, which means they work best close to the neck, with reduced potency elsewhere on your dog or cat. Others work by putting a chemical into your pet’s tissues that is poisonous to fleas. This type of collar is more effective than the other sort, but involves your dog or cat absorbing flea toxins over a long period, which owners might wish to avoid. In any case, take care to not reduce its effectiveness by using it wrongly, for instance by letting it get wet (if your pet often goes into the water).
So no matter what option you select to rid your pet of fleas, you should take care to understand exactly what each solution does, how it works, and what it does to your dog or cat. Each solution protects in a different way, and reading the products will help you find the best solution to eliminate your problem, and aid your pet to be protected from fleas.
