Flea collars?


Does anyone use flea collars?

Do they work? Is there any need with them if the kitties are frontlined regularly?

Re: Flea collars?


I think flea collars have rather gone out of favour now that Frontline and Stronghold are available and easy to use to keep fleas at bay.
Some cats are sensitive to them, and get irritation around their necks.
I've not used them for years and years.

I agree with DM too. My cats used to ahave bald necks when they wore them. Haven't bought one for years.
