Flea Collars
« on: July 24, 2008, 09:37:12 PM »
Good evening,

I am thinking about changing to a flea collar and I just wondered if anyone uses them and which ones are possibly the best ?

We used one on my old dog and it irritated her neck.

Wouldn't use one on Sam.  Just my opinion.

I used a flea collar on my last cocker, Sophie.  I used to change it every 3 months and she never had a flea in 14 years.

I now use Frontline on Ellie, because everyone else seems to use it and the Vet recommended it, but I am not really happy about putting chemicals on her skin, although I suppose flea collars have similar chemicals impregnated into them.  Saying that, I only use Frontline everyone other month from April to September and not at all in winter and Ellie has never had a flea either.

Are some dogs more prone to fleas than others?
