I used them a while ago and they didn't work. My dogs were covered in ticks and ended up with rocky mountain fever. One died from Ehrlichiosis and rocky mountain. A very sad time...

Has anyone ever used the Preventic tick collar on their dog(s)? I hate putting any chemicals on my dogs, but I'm desperate. We don't have fleas, but the ticks more than make up for this. We live in the woods and the deer jump the fences every night to sleep in the yard bringing their lovely little buddies with them. I'm tired of the poor dogs contracting Ehrlichiosis. Frontline Plus helps some, but the ticks still attach and then die. According to the claims, the Preventic collar actually prevents the attachment of ticks in addition to killing ticks that are already attached. Thanks in advance for any opinions on the effectiveness of this collar.
