Factors you need to consider when you buy a flea collar?

The main factor you need to take into consideration when you buy a flea collar for your pet is how strong and secure it is. All of us know just how playful and active dogs are, the way they love to roll around and get dirty. Because of that, it is pivotal that your pooch’s collar stays in place no matter what. You don’t want to have to be running out to purchase replacement collars every time your dog gets frisky! By the same token, you want a dog collar that provides a comfortable fit for your dog. Your canine friend will naturally rebel against a collar that is too tight and keeps him or her from breathing naturally. The ideal collar is one that will stay in place around the dog’s neck at all times whilst still allowing some breathing room underneath (a good rule of thumb is that the collar should be loose enough that you can fit one or two fingers underneath).

If you want the best results and also wish to save money, then purchase a durable collar which will last a very long time. Flea collars are not so cheap, so you will want to get one that provides that maximum duration of protection to your dog. Most modern collars out there on the market have a lifespan of around 3 months before they need to be replaced – some of the better ones last you 6 or even 8 months. Again, having a long-lasting collar is very convenient, as you can simply put it on and forget about – unlike shampoos and other treatments, there is no need to worry about whether or not your dog is protected for that month.

Finally, pay attention to what pests and parasites your collar are equipped to deal with. At the very least you want one that provides protection against fleas as well as ticks – these are the main threats to your pooch. Some also protect against mosquitoes, lice, and other pests – if those are known to be a problem in your area, or your dog is known to be susceptible to them, then you may want to get a collar that has such properties. It goes without saying that is far better to have a collar that provides all in one protection than have to go out and buy a separate product for each problem or threat.
