No just ticks...I use Advantage and the collar to kill both fleas and ticks

It is highly recommended by my Vet who I completely trust. That being said, I live in a wooded area and ticks are a big problem. I've used these collars for years with great results. My Vet recommends changing out the collars every 2 rather than 3 months. I the winter, I'll push it to 3 months but in spring and summer I follow his advice and switch them at 2 months. If ticks are a big issue in your area, I think you'll be very happy with this product.

No this one is just for ticks, they used to have a preventic plus collar that was for both but they stopped making it :(

I'm not sure. But my dog chewed mine to where the antenae wires was completely exposed and sticking out and it still worked! By the time he got to both collars he knew his boundaries so I didn't even have to replace the kit.

It only kills fleas. The package states "For treatment of flea infestations on dogs." It's commonly used by Vets when they have to see a dog that is full of fleas, as it kills most fleas within 30 minutes and the rest within 4 hours. I use a monthly flea treatment and only use Capstar when my dog has "playtime" with some dogs, whose owners don't use flea meds. My pet comes home with 30 or so fleas each time and this kills them right away. Fleas make my dog miserable, so this product works great. I still flea comb him as Capstar may leave a flea or two alive.

Wow, so I WOULD NEVER USE FLEA COLLARS ON MY PETS, especially Hartz. I've worked at multiple vet clinics and heard and seen too many horror stories of chemical burn, allergic reactions, neurological disorders, and even death from flea collar use. However, they work wonders to slaughter everything sucked into my vacuum cleaner. That's the ONLY thing I would use these poison strips for. They should change the marketing on these things honestly. The drops are so much safer. Do you research before you use any flea collar!

Paul, I don't know. I can say that I have used this system with same collars for a year and have been very pleased with the performance thus far. Good luck!

Yes! It does. My dogs aren't on any other flea control other than the Garlic with Brewer's Yeast. I also use Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (also available on Amazon) to sprinkle in my house before vacuum days to kill any fleas in the carpet. My dogs will have 1 or 2 fleas at the most and its after spending time laying in the grass... but I just pick them off. We've been using this exclusively for 2 years in Florida without any issues. My vet is on board with the holistic approach so he doesn't push topicals. He sees their fur and skin are healthy without fleas so he's ok with it.

I have six outdoor cats that wear the Seresto collar and it works great, only one of my cats ever lost a collar and that was last year so far this year all have kept it on. I have never seen a flea or tick on any of them. And they all tested negative for worms so I believe the collars are keeping them from getting bitten. Hope this helps

The collar never went off for whining & whimpering. However, I never set the sensitivity level at a high level as the lower range did the job well for barking.

I don't know but I suspect that it does not kill the flea eggs or possible direct contact with the egg is required. It required several applications as the fleas came back several times but in smaller numbers each time.

No. I put this collar on my five cats right away and it works. The collar doesn't smell or bother the cats. I have bathed them with the collar on and it still works.

I have used it yo repel fleas and ticks for two years and it works great. I haven't actually had a dog with fleas that I have used it on. So I can't say it 100% kills them, but it foes repel

Yes! This is how it should work. If you did read my review it does not work! Ticks on my dogs from the start and fleas after about 2 month. Never again - waste of money!My dogs did not swim or get bathed. Collar was put on correctly and never removed.... just did not do what it claims to do!

It's like a flea collar that you cut off the excess. So once you cut it the size is locked inLike the other comment it did nothing for my dog

No this product only kills fleas for 24 hours. It's a good fix if a pet is infested and then follow up with a flea treament like comfortis, frontline, advantage that lasts for a whole month.

All I can say is it worked on a 60 pound mix breed and my 85 pound mix. They will die off...the fleas ..I n 20-30ish minutes then its bath time to remove the debris and carcasses lol. Always good to flea bomb your house after if possible let. Good luck

No, this is the second year that we have used these collars and we love them. We have a toy Yorkie, a long haired dachshunds and a jack and they do not mind this collar at all. it is easy to put on and take off. Last for eight months and the best part is NO fleas.
