The Preventic Tick Collar for Dogs kills and detaches ticks, but does not kill or control flea populations. As long as your pet is wearing the collar, prevention lasts for up to three months. Preventic Tick Collars also prevent new ticks from attaching and feeding within 48 hours after application. The Preventic Collar for Dogs cannot be used on cats. The ingredient amitraz is an antiparasitic drug. It rapidly paralyzes the ticks mouth parts before killing the tick, preventing attachment of the tick and preventing the transmission of disease. On animals it is used to control ticks, mites, lice, and other animal pests.

Remove the collar before bathing the pet and reapply when the pet is dry.
