Product Information

Full details

The Prevexto Flea and Tick Collar by Virbac is designed for dog owners seeking a low-maintenance, long-term solution for parasite control. It provides up to 8 months of continuous protection against fleas and ticks using an advanced polymer matrix that distributes active ingredients across the skin and coat without systemic absorption. While it offers unparalleled convenience for busy owners, it is strictly intended for dogs weighing over 8kg, making it unsuitable for smaller breeds or puppies below the weight threshold.

FAQs

How long does the Prevexto collar last?

The collar provides up to 8 months of continuous protection against fleas and ticks.

Is the collar safe for my puppy?

No, this collar is only suitable for dogs weighing over 8kg.

Can my dog swim while wearing the collar?

Yes, the collar is water-resistant and does not need to be removed during swimming or bathing.

Does the collar enter the dog's bloodstream?

No, the active ingredients remain in the lipid layer of the skin and coat and do not enter the bloodstream.

What should I do if my dog has sensitive skin?

Monitor your dog closely after the first application. If you notice redness or irritation, remove the collar and consult your veterinarian.

Can I use the collar with a regular leash?

Yes, you can attach a leash to a standard harness or collar; just ensure the Prevexto collar remains in direct contact with the skin.

Troubleshooting

The collar feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the buckle to ensure a two-finger gap between the collar and the neck. Re-check the fitment regularly.

The dog is scratching more than usual after application.

Ensure the collar is not applied too tightly. If irritation persists, remove the collar and consult a veterinarian.

The collar appears dirty or coated in debris.

Gently wipe the collar with a clean, damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then re-fit it to the dog.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the collar, remove it from the packaging and uncoil it. Fasten the collar around your dog’s neck, ensuring that it is snug but comfortable; you should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and the dog's skin. Trim any excess length, leaving about 2cm for potential future adjustments.

Compatibility: This product is specifically formulated for dogs weighing 8kg or more. Do not use this product on cats or smaller dogs.

Care: The collar is water-resistant, but heavy, frequent exposure to shampoos or swimming pools may reduce the duration of the 8-month efficacy. Inspect the collar periodically to ensure it remains clean and properly fitted as your dog moves or grows.
