Lightbulb Tick/flea collars

I was considering buying one for my dog as well as frontlining him as usual.
What is you opinion of them?
Thanks

Talking Re: Tick/flea collars

i dont perticulary like flea collars, as some dogs are allergic to them! (skin irritants)

dogs dont realy need to be frontlined and wear a flea collar, as the frontline will kill all fleas and protect your dog for 3 months!

Re: Tick/flea collars

As other people have said, frontline should be sufficient. Anyhow I wouldn't advise using too many flea products at the same time - could harm your dog - a bit like overdosing. Ie if you were taking anadin and the maximum doasage is two tablets, u wouldn't exceed it would ya? (unless of course u wanted to kill ya self LOL)

Re: Tick/flea collars

Agree with the rest - dont like flea collars at the best of times let alone use them while you are using Frontline - they can get poorly if they have too many flea products at once.
