Product Detail: Preventic Tick Collar
Virbac Preventive 2 Month Tick Collar For Dogs
The Preventic Tick Collar for Dogs is manufactured by Virbac (Australia) Pty Ltd.
It is an easy to use product which helps control ticks, including the paralysis tick, for up to 8 weeks.
The collar slowly releases the active ingredient which migrates over the dog's entire body. The powder released is insoluble in water and has a high affinity for hair and skin.
How to use the product
This product can be used on healthy non-lactating dogs over the age of 16 weeks.
The collar should be placed around the dog's neck and fit such that 2 or 3 fingers can easily be placed between the animal's neck and the collar. If the collar is fitted too tightly irritation may occur. Any excess length of collar should be removed and disposed of to prevent the animal from chewing on it. Owners should wash their hands after handling the collar.
The collar should be replaced every 8 weeks for continual coverage.
The collar should be removed immediately if local irritation is noted.
Daily tick searches are still recommended for maximal tick protection during tick season.
Sizes
One size is available, a 60cm collar.
Active ingredients

Preventic Tick Collar
I live in Florida and fleas and ticks are common in our state. I have two Labrador and 1 Collie. Since I used this product I never worry again about my babies having ticks. Thanks Preventic!
Thumbs up
Having this product on my dog makes me feel confident that my baby is tick-free. And the good thing is, I just have to change this every two months. Very convenient. Thank you Pet Shed for offering this product!
Great Product
This tick collar is so great! Compare to other tick and flea products like the spot on treatment or chewables, this is so far the best. Will continue using this product for my dog.
Very convenient!
It's my fist time to purchase this product and I was amazed! It's like a collar but at the same time it fights ticks. I haven't seen ticks in my dog since I used this product. Very easy to use! And it's very effective!
Preventic is the best!
I have two dogs and we live in a farm. My dogs run around the farm everyday. I use Preventic for years and this has keep my dogs free from ticks! Preventic is the best!
question regarding collar worn in water
I live in the woods and use this collar on a regular basis. I now have 2 dogs, one a puppy, and need to reorder. However, my dogs are either in the water or swim every day. Does this affect the effectiveness of the collar or should I attempt to remove it before they enter the water (if I'm quick enough)! I will reorder asap but waiting for your answer. Thank you.
Great product!
We live in the mountains and one of our three dogs runs through the brush twice daily protecting her territory. She gets ticks the most of the three. These collars have worked when all other products have failed. Great stuff!
Preventic -- the one that works
This product works. It's that simple. Living in a center of Lyme Disease , controlling ticks is critical to both my dogs' and my health. Unlike other products -- collars, sprays, drops -- Preventic really does the job. Within 24 hours of placing a Preventic collar on the dog ticks are dying and retreating. From then on, for the full two months, there is never another tick. I rate it particularly highly because if prevents ticks from biting and therefore eliminates any chance of Lyme Disease infection. We've been using Preventic for many years and find it to be a consistent winner.
