Product Information

Full details

The Virbac Prevexto Flea & Tick Collar is designed for dog owners seeking long-term, low-maintenance parasite protection, offering up to 8 months of defense against fleas and ticks. Its primary advantage is the use of non-greasy polymer matrix technology that coats the skin and hair rather than entering the bloodstream, making it a convenient choice for busy households. However, owners should note that consistent, snug application is necessary for the collar to form the required protective layer across the coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To apply, remove the collar from its packaging and unroll it. Place it around the dog's neck, ensuring you can fit two fingers between the collar and the neck; this ensures the material maintains proper skin contact without being too tight. Cut off any excess length once adjusted. If you are currently using other medications, specifically worming treatments, consult your veterinarian to ensure there are no contraindications. The collar should be worn continuously to maintain the protective layer, and you should check the fit regularly, especially in growing puppies.
