Product Overview
The Kiltix Collar is an innovative veterinary solution designed to provide dogs with continuous protection against fleas and ticks. This convenient collar format offers an alternative to traditional spot-on treatments, featuring a water-resistant, odorless design suitable for canines of all breeds and sizes. The collar delivers sustained protection, helping to prevent infestations while reducing the risk of diseases transmitted by ticks.
Uses
This flea and tick collar serves as both a preventive measure and treatment against parasitic infestations in dogs. Its active components work by repelling and eliminating fleas and ticks upon contact. Particularly beneficial for outdoor-active dogs or those in parasite-prone environments, the collar also alleviates the itching and discomfort caused by flea and tick bites.
How to Use
For proper application:
1. Remove the collar from its packaging
2. Secure it around your dog’s neck, ensuring a comfortable fit (allow space for two fingers between collar and skin)
3. Trim any excess length
The collar remains effective when worn continuously, requiring replacement every few months or as recommended by your veterinarian. While water-resistant, temporary removal during extensive water exposure (bathing/swimming) is advised to maintain efficacy.
How it Works
The collar’s mechanism involves gradual release of active compounds that:
– Repel parasites through contact
– Disrupt the nervous systems of fleas and ticks
– Cause paralysis and subsequent elimination of pests
This sustained-release technology provides ongoing defense against infestations and helps prevent transmission of tick-borne illnesses including Lyme disease.
