I will Never buy another one ever again

Didn't really work for my dog

I switched to adams flea and tick collars about 3 years ago. I swore id never change and never buy a different one, ever again. Why is below. I put the one I bought and have used since in the pictures. I'm not sure if the timing of when I went to buy it was bad with spring starting but I couldn't find it anywhere. Walmart was where I always got it. I went to every Walmart in a 45 mile radius, couldn't find it. Amazon, said it was currently unavailable. This was the cloest I could find, the only difference was it was red not blue, and it said 'small dog' not 'all dogs'. THIS IS THE WORST COLLAR I HAVE EVER BOUGHT! It also smells horrible, all flea/tick collars smell weird when you first open and stretch them but this one smells horrible and after over a week of use still smells horrible and strong horrible not just a little horrible. I will say it did "strech to activate" much easier then others and the normal adams I use. However with how easy it was to use and activate, it makes me wonder if thats part of why it works so bad. I thought the ones that made him have diaherra were bad, atleast those protected him against lymes diease and mostly prevented the ticks. The blue adams collar in the photos, literally protected him and didnt make him sick. Same brand, same type of collar, just a different color and different 'sized' dog. I figured it had to be the next best thing. In the 2ish weeks hes had it on, I've found 16 to 18 ticks on him. 7-9 were crawling up his legs so they hadn't attached thankfully. The other 9-10 were attached, 6 of those attached were IMPOSSIBLE to get off him. His skin has never been tough or hard to pull ticks off. Never has part of a tick that was embedded stuck in his skin. The 6 that were impossible to get off, half the head was stuck in him. 4 of them I tried so hard to pull off that the tick was dead but the carcass was still there, embedded and hanging out. The 2 that just the heads remained, I had to rip off in pieces, he had 4 little bald spots from the pulling. I have tick pull tools, I have medical office tweezers in 6 sizes, nothing worked. Adams, other people, can try and say its the not collar but in prior years before I switched to the blue adams collar, he had ticks that were embedded and fully engourged My 22 pound boston terrier all the sudden developed a severe sensitivity to any and almost all collars. We had used the same ones for most of his life. I assume they changed the formula or something because they suddenly made him sick. The problem was it took me about 2.5 months to figure out it was a flea/tick collar issue. I drove my self nuts trying to figure out why he suddenly was having severe stomach issues. I changed his food to an expensive senstive stomach food, which helped a little so I thought it would be fine in a week or so, it never got any better then it did at start. I changed his water to a different filtered water, bottled water, sink filters, water treatment filters, I changed his food bowls, his water bowls, I changed his treats, literally anything I could think of. Obviously I brought him to the vet, spent hundreds on tests and xrays, nothing, healthy as could be. Around the 2.5 month mark I was talking to my mom and for whatever reason it popped in my head that this started around the same time I put his new flea and tick collar on. I immediately took it off, went and bought a new one, different brand, everything, again got a little better but not much. They gave me what I needed to be convinced it was the collar. If I could give zero stars I would. If I coukd return it and get a refund I would, if I could just return it and have them send a new one thats better or just take it.

I wanted to get my small dogs, one of whom is a 15-year-old poodle with very sensitive skin, something that would get rid of the bugs without being too rough on their skin. My 2 little dogs have both been wearing them for a couple of weeks now. Here are couple of things I've noticed... *I haven't seen any bugs in the house since I put them on. *They both scratch less when they're outside and seem less bothered by bugs outside. *They seem to be itching themselves less in general, but they will both itch around the collar itself sometimes. I think the combo of stiff plastic material that the collar is made of and the chemicals in the collar itself irritate them sometimes but not too badly (definitely not as bad as liquid applications). *Nobody has tried to get their collars off like they try to rub off the liquid applications on furniture. When you're getting bug protection for your animals it's always going to involve putting some some nasty chemicals on them. I think this is a better option than the stuff you put directly on their skin or feed to them. It seems to work, it's less irritating to them & it's a long-term solution (hopefully). I'll try to update in a month or so on how they're doing.

I just ordered a replacement collar and my dog had first one for 3 months and I just ordered another because I thought it was supposed to keep ticks off yet my dog. Even the new one doesn’t keep ticks off. It’s on my toy poodle and his hair is even cut short.

Works great

Dog doesn’t get bothered by it as it is light weight and causes no skin irritation. No bad scent, adheres well and extremely easy to put on. No ticks or fleas noticeable. Lasts for several months so far.

Didn’t really work as well as I was hoping. My dog was still very itchy and we still saw quite a bit of fleas on her after using.

you will feel the difference in your dog after putting on the collar. no smell but effective. results can be seen within a week. regards.

The powder and the scent is strong but I guess that makes it more effective. Overall, I think it served its purpose.
