Good flea cat collar

Ok so I need a flea collar recommendations please that is not gonna posion Scotty I got the owners permission to get one so what are some safe ones

Honestly, I don’t recommend any flea collar. They can cause reactions on the neck, many don’t work, many are toxic including the “all natural or herbal” ones.

I personally like Revolution. The original one, not the plus.

If you are in a position to use a topical that is OTC, then try Advantage II or Frontline Plus. Unfortunately, the Revolution (even the 'not Plus' version) requires a prescription from what I know.

I also know nothing about Only Natural Pet products, but there is at least one member on this site that has recommended them, - whether or not that includes the flea collars, I don't know.

I just read the ingredients and some of the reviews on the above products. I would not use.

I have known people who swear by seresto, but my experience with the collars was not great. They are expensive, and IIRC Amazon sells them but they are not the same as the ones you get from your vet and have caused some serious reactions. Can you use a topical?

Part of the problem is not just the chemicals but safety. Collars get caught, which is why it's recommended that cats wear a breakaway. A breakaway flea collar is realitively useless.

My preference is to do a fleabath with Johnson and Johnson's baby shampoo (original formula).

I have used Zodiac Spot On in the past for Nobel and Lily. be warned that any cat can have a reaction even to a realitively safe medication. Each cat will have their own sensitivities and potential allergies. You need to discuss use of products with a veterinarian. Always read the warning labels and keep watch for what the label says

It doesn't sound like anything anyone here has suggested will meet your needs or the owner's approval. So, go with what you/they want and hope for the best. As mentioned above, most flea collars are not break-aways so that is an added issue that you must be mindful of. If you do find one that is a breakaway, then better buy a bunch of them. Good luck to Scotty and you.

I am in no way trying to worry you or sound paranoid, but this is important information every cat owner IMO should know when using any flea and tick prevention, be it a collar, topical, powder, etc. Reactions are very rare, but it's always good to know.
