Fleas and ticks are dangerous parasites, both for the health of animals and people. Flea collars They are accessories that make it possible to create a kind of "protective layer" against these insects for an average of six months, but they also contain very harmful toxic substances.
Regarding the effectiveness of this product, it must be taken into account that, being placed on the neck, the insecticide will not evenly protect the animal's body. Much more effective in prevention, and safe for the health of the animal and its owner, is the topical application of pipettes and antiparasitic spray. Daily brushing, hygiene of the pet and the place where it sleeps, and cleaning the home, also keep the appearance of these insects at bay.
Made from durable plastic, the flea collars are impregnated with powerful pesticides that can seriously damage the health of our pets. These chemicals penetrate the skin and bloodstream of animals, affecting the nervous system, causing cancer, muscle contractions, seizures or respiratory paralysis.
These toxic substances will also affect people who are in contact with the dog, being able to produce allergies and skin lesions, dizziness, nausea, and headaches. Younger children will be especially vulnerable to these pesticides, as they will metabolize them less efficiently than an adult as their nervous system is not yet fully developed. It is also very easy for everything that children touch to also end up being ingested, due to their tendency to put their hands in their mouths.
In case the animal chews or ingests the collar, the symptoms of severe poisoning would be nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or excessive panting, and can lead to death if it is not attended to immediately.
