Does it still work if my dog went in the ocean with it?

My dogs have been swimming in our pool and the collar is still good. As a matter of fact, they still have it on and its been months they have been wearing it and not one single tick or flea on them. So I would go as far as saying the collar works long after its past date.

I think you are supposed to take the collar off prior to it getting wet. If it was just once, it's probably ok, but I would not continually expose it to water.

We typically take our Wheaten Terrier's tick collar off when we know her is going to swim, but alas... there are just simply times when he just goes in whether it be salt water or fresh. I think they actually last about 2 months with an active dog. My experience is that they work great. We keep our property sprayed for ticks (organically- non chemically) as well. Our dog is alergic to topical tick drops.

Do not allow it to get wet! Toxic amounts of the poison in the collar can be released when wet.

Yes it does and it works really well. It was a little smaller than I had expected, but my doggies are 20 pounds and under, so it's not too bad.

Absolutely---Yes. That is exactly why I bought one. I had serious doubts about it, but it works very well. It has not bothered my dog at all either.

My friend has a dog that goes in a swampy area with it on.... Probably not swimming....

Since you posted this, did you take your dog on the kayak, and how did it work out? Is there a problem keeping him in the boat - does he need to be tied in somehow? If you used the towel recommendation, did that work out?

I don't know - I've never seen the dog version. It did work for all the animal ones we had

Absolutely! This is one of the few vests that has flotation material under the dogs chest which helps keep their head above water. Just make sure you get the appropriate size for your dog.

Yes! We've had ours for over a year and our dogs go through water all the time and we've never had a problem!

Yes it can. Just used it at the shore in Delaware and the Dog got in wet and protected the seats. Keeps the snacks the kids drop off the seats. One thing I did notice was some of the sand got through the holes for the seatbelts when the dog bounced around looking out the window. Not a biggy but worth mentioning.

I have replaced the batteries in mine with less expensive ones and they work great. I haven't seen a problem with water because of rain, but I don't think I would trust any collar of this type being submersed in water for swimming. I can't believe that the manufacturer would suggest such a thing either. I would be afraid that if enough water got inside, it would cause the dog to get shocked unexpectedly. I think the cost of replacing the collar would also keep me from risking it.

it does work underwater, but it's easier to listen to music than say books or podcast. I haven't had a problem with it working in the water, if it didn't work, i would have returned it, it is a little pricey but i would still recommend it.

Honestly, my dogs work in the swamp conditions and it still works. Waterproof, I dont know but it has withstood minimum water. I hope this helped!

yes it will work on the ocean but it does not do well in wind, so I would not recommend it for ocean going.

I don't know. I sold mine after my soul mate died. I would contact Pet Gear directly and see if they have an answer. I checked their website and couldn't find anything, but I'm sure they would have an answer for you.

Not sure my dogs already chewed it up pretty good.. So I cannot test it. I also do not think it would float anyway.

I haven't used it in the ocean, but I don't imagine that it would be effected by the salt water.The ipod is waterproofed on the inside. It's not like it's just covered by a flimsy external waterproof cover. To look at the ipod, it just looks like any other normal ipod. The water, salted or otherwise should not be a problem.

As long as you have all the flaps closed.....yes it will still work. I've taken pictures underwater with it, shallow water of course!
