Product Information

Full details

The Virbac Prevexto Flea and Tick Collar is designed for dog and cat owners seeking a long-term, low-maintenance solution to parasite prevention. By utilizing advanced polymer matrix technology, the collar provides continuous protection against fleas and ticks for up to 8 months, offering the key benefit of sustained defense without the need for monthly topical applications. A notable caveat is that while the collar is water-resistant, consistent submersion in water should be avoided to ensure the full duration of its effectiveness.

FAQs

Does the collar enter my pet's bloodstream?

No, the active ingredients are designed to stay on the surface of the skin and within the coat's lipid layer, not in the bloodstream.

Can my pet swim while wearing the collar?

While it is water-resistant, you should remove the collar before prolonged submersion or swimming to ensure maximum efficacy.

How long does the protection last?

The collar provides up to 8 months of protection against fleas and ticks when worn continuously.

Is the collar greasy or does it have an odor?

No, the Prevexto collar is designed to be dry, non-greasy, and odorless.

What happens if the collar gets stuck on an object?

The collar includes a breakaway point designed to release or break under pressure to prevent the pet from choking.

Can I use this on a young puppy or kitten?

Consult your veterinarian regarding the appropriate age and weight requirements for your specific pet before application.

Troubleshooting

The collar feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the buckle to ensure a fit where two fingers can comfortably slide between the collar and the skin, then trim the excess tail.

The pet is scratching at the collar area.

Monitor for skin redness; if irritation persists, remove the collar immediately and consult a veterinarian.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, remove the collar from the packaging and unroll it. Fasten it around the pet's neck, ensuring it is not too tight, and trim any excess length once properly fitted. The collar is designed to be worn continuously, but it should be removed during intensive water activities like swimming or baths to maintain the integrity of the polymer matrix. Regularly inspect the pet's neck area for any signs of irritation, particularly during the first few days of use. Clean the outer surface of the collar periodically with a damp cloth if it becomes heavily soiled from mud or debris.
