Todays Tips- Are Flea collar safe for dogs to wear
Flea collars are not designed to eliminate a heavy infestation of fleas, they are useful chiefly to control mild infestations. A tightly applied flea collar can produce a zone of acute inflammation around the neck of some dogs and in a few allergic individuals it will also cause dermatitis elsewhere on the body. If your dog develops signs of neck irritation, especially in the first week, or poisoning from the collar (e.g. depression, vomiting, diarrhea, and staggering) remove the collar immediately.
