Each of these types of tools has its own advantages and disadvantages, which must be taken into account when choosing. And having already chosen the type of product itself, one can safely study the corresponding products of the most well-known manufacturers.
Flea drops for dogs
Insecticide drops on the withers - today, perhaps, the most common means of fleas for dogs. Their popularity among dog breeders is due to several advantages at once:

- reliability: most of the funds provide for the destruction of parasites already present on the animal’s body and protection against fleas for two months;
- availability: on average, for about 300-500 rubles you can buy a pipette, which is enough for one or two months.
In this case, the drops have some drawbacks. For example, certain toxicity and the possibility of side effects after their use, due to which many flea drops (not all) can not be used for puppies under two months, pregnant and lactating dogs, sick and convalescent animals.
However, for most adult healthy dogs, drops are great.Basically, drops are used for dogs living in a house or apartment, but regularly on the street. They are convenient to use as in cases when the dog is already infected with parasites, and to protect it from possible infection. Therefore, such preparations from fleas for dogs enjoy deserved recognition from the owners.

For my dog I buy the Leopard, he is already familiar and dear to us. Periodically changing the means - spray on the drops and vice versa.Collar somehow did not use it. It's great that there are good and cheap Russian drugs. So I support the domestic manufacturer))
It has long been abandoned drops and sprays - after all, they are not useful (to put it mildly), primarily for the animal itself. And the usual collars from fleas, from which the drug enters the skin of the animal, also do not use already. Guys, we live in the 21st century. Already so much of everything safe for animals and convenient for their owners have been invented, and you all use antediluvian drops, and even on the advice of veterinarians (I would not use the services of veterinarians who advise toxic drugs - my animals are dear to me!)
I have a cat and a dog. Both bought on an ultrasonic collar. It repels insects due to ultrasonic waves. Suitable for the treatment of fleas, and for their prevention. In addition, this collar helps from ticks. Double benefit - I don’t have to fool myself, how to protect my animals, who love to walk around the dacha, also from them. Everything is already there. And most importantly - this thing is absolutely harmless to animals and their owners. No toxic effects, no chemistry.Each collar cost me just over 900 rubles in a boutique - I think I saved a lot because I spent it once, but I’ll use it for a long time. In addition, she provided both treatment and follow-up prevention!
How old are you? To believe in this nonsense?
What are your collars called?
I use the good old Leopard in drops, and I got used to it, and the dog does not resist, and the fleas have never found on it after processing. Periodically alternating spray and drops, the collar somehow could not try.
Worn out with these bugs already, bathe the doctor zoo, dry land and immediately put on a collar, but the fleas are still present. I thought a bad collar - changed, and the same trouble. Drops of the week and a half helped. They love my dog, and every morning we begin to catch fleas, the dog does not like it, it turns, bites. I think it is already a folk remedy to use, they say, decoction of tobacco helps, but the smell is specific. Maybe someone had a similar problem - will you advise something?
Mila, I am not in Russia, I live in France,but we had the same problem: we tried everything that was possible - a collar, drops of three manufacturers, 2 types of spray, essential oils - all to no avail. As a result, we bought the pills, and all the fleas from Jackie came in half an hour later. We give 1 tablet per month and everything is fine, not a single flea has seen more.
Mary, what pills?
Mila, you can’t do that before you drop drops or put on a collar, you should not wash your dog for at least three days before use. And after the same does not wash at least 3 days, and then the effect will be!
I am dripping my Dick Advantix. Although we initially bought these drops for the prevention of tick bites, we noticed very quickly that we got rid of fleas at the same time) By the way, they also protect the ticks from the ticks, our dacha neighbor last year took a bottle from us, so now buys his dogs.
I have two dogs live, one yard, the second home, both Foresto put on the collar, while no complaints. I don’t buy drops and sprays for personal reasons, so I can’t say anything about them, but I am pleased with the collar.I put it on in the spring and I’ve got enough until late autumn (the instructions for 8 months indicate the effect), I haven’t yet found ticks, there are no fleas either. It makes me very happy.
I read about this collar, but until I decide to try it, I’ll drip Advantiks to my dog, in my experience this is the best defense. The fleas disappeared the next day, and the mites fell off the coat without having had time to bite. Moreover, these drops are also scaring away mosquitoes with flies, which are also carriers of diseases - it’s important in the village, there’s no end to them. And Stitch satisfied runs, if only that.
We bought this collar, it stands like a cast-iron bridge) We dressed everything according to the rules, and hello here - they caught piroplasmosis ((Now, shots, droppers ... I hope my puppy will get out.
Any tool must be properly applied and strictly follow the instructions. We have a spaniel, and we buy him drops from ticks, mosquitoes and fleas, we have been using them for 2 years without any complaints, she loses the collar when her husband takes her to the hunt, but with drops she is under permanent protection and not a single tick bit in all that time.
And we have trouble with the basement. The dog is dripping and there is a collar, BUT ... Going to the elevator, we are somehow close to the door to the basement (it is right in front of the elevator). And all the time I catch fleas on the 9th floor on arrival at Grhea. The trouble is simple (
I do not know, girls, why you are not satisfied with the collars, for the summer season is ideal! At the beginning of summer you dress, at the end you take off, not a single bug, a flea will jump on your pet.
I shampoo "Lugovoy" my own. In the summer we live in the country, you never know what kind of animals decide to live in the middle of wool))
Nonsense. I tried a lot of tools. And the dog still finds ticks at the site.
Our Jack did not want to wear a collar, and fleas picked up on the street - Mama Do not Cry! So I had to go to the vet. pharmacy, so that they still advised us some means. Since our handsome loves water treatments, we bought specials for him. flea shampoo Four with a tail and drops Bars. We applied them after washing with shampoo after 3 days, such an integrated approach worked) Jack's fleas do not disturb, and he is happy that you don’t need to wear a collar)
Dana Ultra drops are dripping and they do NOT help. Although, perhaps, they helped, but in this case caused an itch, the dog continues to itch. I train her every day, fleas (itch) well, very much in the way!
Drops from ticks Leopard. I processed the dog according to the instructions, everything is as it should be. After 4 days, right on the spot where he had dripped, he removed the tick of the devoured. The leopard does not work ...
Ticks for dogs are dangerous, therefore during the period when these insects are especially active, it is necessary to walk the dog less often in forests, parks, high grass thickets. Be sure to treat them from the animal. We use drops, as far as I know, drops are so far the most effective means in the fight against these parasites. They are sold in pet stores. We have been using it for a relatively long time, there are no ticks, it also helps well from fleas, since last winter they appeared in our country (still a mystery from where). After applying after a few hours, they began to die, after a day they were gone, but you can only wash them after 2 days. After walking, inspect the dog for ticks, just in case.
I am an avid dog lover and have not yet found better protection against fleas than drops. It is for dogs. Now I'm dripping my sheepdogs, and put the collar on the cat.I tried somehow to drop the cat drops, he dodged so that he almost swallowed these drops. With a collar easier. Put on and everything.
I process a dog with drops given ultra neo. Since the beginning of spring, a tick on the thigh was brought once from the outside, held onto the fur. AND ALL. In the summer I also plan to buy a collar, on the advice of a veterinarian. He said that the tick last summer was too rampant, so it's better to be safe for the future.
The last 2-3 years Bars does not work as effectively as before. I have a dog weighing 37 kg, I smear 5 pipettes on it, but the fleas seize up!
