This collar has a very loud smell for a few days, but is very effective. No signs of fleas on Sachi nor my large lab, Misty.

works enough
This collar works well enough I haven't had any issues with fleas but have found the occasional tick. The major downside of it is it makes her very itchy. (itchiness is not from fleas, it must be some ingredient causing this)

It dosen't work!!!!
With 4 pets in the house fleas and ticks are a major concern. We have seen no change in the flea population with this product, have had one dog (Dorah) that has been diagnosed with Limes, Guess that shows how well the collars work on ticks. We are very disappointed with Bio Spot.

Fairly Effective
I've read several reviews and was a bit leery of the product. However, I find the collar decent at keeping the ticks at bay. We have a huge population of ticks in our area.
This was the first time using Bio Spot for anything, but it was the only thing readily available at the time I needed something.
Our puppy is only 14 weeks and has not had any adverse reactions that we've noticed.
With regard to handling fleas, Roscoe received a flea bath just prior to receiving his new collar--have not found any fleas on him.

Never again!
I couldn't stand the smell of the collar, (or my dog for a week after I took off the collar and threw it away!) Terrible product!

Hi there, BioSpot collar also has flea medication so you dont want to double dose them. However we have a tick collar called Preventic Amitraz Tick Collar. This would work perfect for you. :)
Thank you for your question, I would not recommend using both of these together without consulting your veterinarian to avoid possible over medication of your furry friend.
The fact that there was a *Caution* and we could have health issues scared me, I don't want to think that I could get ill If I forget to wash my hands or wear gloves after I put it on my dog.

These are potent chemicals that should not harm you or the pet when used as directed on the package label. The warnings are meant to advise you to follow certain cautions when using these products so they do not become a health issue to you.
