TevraPetActivate II Flea and Tick Collar for Small Dogs, 12 Months Prevention, 2 Count, Fits Up 15" Size Neck

Works great amazing price

If anything I feel like the fleas have gotten WORSE since I purchased this flea collar. She uncontrollably starts chewing and that didn't happen until this collar. She has raw/hot spots, and while she may have lost a lot of fur, she didn't lose her fleas!I've never had a problem with seresto collars but tried to save a couple dollars with these but basically threw my money away.I bought the collars in July, gave her a flea bath, brushed her, dried her, put on the collar. As I noticed the situation getting WORSE instead of better I decided maybe something had happened with the first collar and that I should move to the second. (This was the begining of September/end of August) I disposed of the first collar, treated her and the house and everything, and put on the second collar. Now, here we are in the first of October and my poor pup (she's 2, almost 3, not really a pup) and the situation is absolutely MISERABLE for my baby. I have her dressed in my kids clothes while her skin and fur get a nice saturating soak with treatment to heal from the flea bites and whatever chemical is proving toxic to my dog. It's absolutely awful. Raw and red patches, scabs, her skin is so dry and flaky and the fleas are ridiculous! I can't believe what a waste of time and money and my precious pups health this was. 😡For the record, she is a boxer/English Bull Dog. Maybe it didn't react well with her skin type but I will never purchase anything from this brand again.

Ok,after reading reviews and seeing pictures, I was very hesitant about trying this product. I normally use soresto collar,and never had any issues,except for the price. I have 2 Boxers,1 is white and has sensitive skin.She never had any reaction to the Soresto,and I saw the same thing with their reviews,certain dogs have a bad reaction or skin allergy to the collar. I decided I would give this product a try. Upon opening it,it does have a very strong smell,not necessarily bad,but strong. Before putting it on my dogs,I hung it up,outside in direct sunlight for about an hour. The aroma was still present,but...no where NEAR as strong as when opened. I put the collars on both dogs and watched them VERY closely for any reaction or side effects. No reactions from either dog! No skin irritations, no vomiting, no diarrhea, and best of all,no fleas or ticks at all. Not sure about mosquitoes, but i have a lot of them in my area,and have not noticed any of the "raised welt" bite marks typically left on my dog.To sum it up,so far,this has been a great product,and a huge savings. All dogs are different, will your dog have a reaction? I wish I could tell you no. But,my sensitive ,runt,white boxer girl,and my fawn girl,did just fine with these. If you try it,do like I did and air it out for an hr,and watch the neck area close for the first few days. If you notice something different,TAKE IT OFF! If your a good dog parent, you'll know right away if it's no good for your pal.UPDATE:AUG.21 2021...My girls have now had this collar on almost all summer. We've been swimming,outside at the park,and spent 2 wks in the mountains of W.Va.I have not found a single flea or tick on either dog,and there has been absolutely no hair loss or irritation on the neck area or near the collar. Again,all dogs are different,but this has been a great product. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, but strongly suggest watching your best friend closely for the first few hrs/days.Also make sure you read the bad reviews for the soresto collars,exact same reactions,with certain dogs.

I bought these two collars about three months ago to cut down on cost of flea and tick treatments (was using NexGuard). The collars are individually wrapped, which preserves the treatment and adds a very nice touch to the packaging (the outer being a sealed tin can). These were a much cheaper alternative to my veterinary medicine for him and I can say that I saved $90 on six months of medicine. This brings me to my next point.As for longevity, if your dog is a house pet, I could see these collars lasting six months a piece, but if you have more than one dog or they are outdoor dogs, these won't last as long. I live next door to four Pyrenees/Anatolian, two wolves and two American Staffordshire Terriers and one Mastiff. Being that my dog is an outdoor dog and the high population of ticks/fleas in the area, each collar has lasted three months. I am not complaining about this, as the product worked very well and the price makes it worth the investment, but the longevity if you are looking for these to last as long as advertised under similar circumstances to mine, I want you to know the practical longevity under such high use. You still will save money on flea and tick treatments for the six months that these will last under such use, but the choice is yours.Overall, I am extremely happy with this product. It's durability and price point make it well worth the investment. The product's scent will diminish as it is used more and more and it works even in the rain very efficiently. I will be ordering these collars again and hope that the manufacturer doesn't change its methods in making these except to improve the longevity of it in practical use.

Very good product, work before

I gave this product a try after reading reviews. It worked ok at best. If you have zero fleas and want to prevent.. it would be fine.. I’m a freak about fleas and this summer we got a few on our dogs I quickly stripped all beds ,dog beds ,and rugs cleaned everything treated inside and outside. Bathed and treated the dogs too and gave the time for oil to come back to the skin before putting collers on. Very easy to cut and size properly.I did read all package instructions. I gave the colliers the full 3 weeks it said to reach full effect. After 3 weeks I was still getting 3-4 fleas off my dogs daily.. not happy. I would agree the fleas reduced in numbers but my dogs were still miserable because we have never had a flea problem. So it might be ok for some but if you need total control this might not be for you.
