We have some wonderful homestead dogs. These poor dogs have had some struggles with homestead ticks, though. Our region is a hotbed of tick activity, unfortunately. I spoke to the vet about the problem, and she recommended a product that’s a new import the US market from Europe. It’s a Scalibor Tick & Flea Collar. I bought two of them from VetRxDirect, which is where that link takes you, for $62 total. That website had the lowest price for the collars out of all the sites the vet recommended, plus I was able to find a coupon code through a quick internet search.
What I love about the collar is that I put it on, and just leave it for 6 months! That’s a lot easier than putting drops on the dogs every month. Plus it’s a steal: $31/collar for 6 months, which is about $5/month for flea & tick protection. Doesn’t get much cheaper than that, especially for such top notch protection!

Speaking of efficacy, the collars have been on the dogs for a few weeks now, and we have noticed a significant decrease in the number of ticks on the dogs. Now we still find the occasional tick, but according to the product information, it should already be affected by the medication and on its way to its demise. I am pretty happy with the product so far.
