Product Description

When I first discovered the Natural 8‑Month Flea and Tick Collar for Large Dogs, it felt like finding a hidden gem. Crafted from 100% plant-based essential oils, like citronella, cedarwood, rosemary, peppermint, and geranium; it gently releases natural repellent agents over eight months, keeping fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and other biting pests at bay.

The beauty of this collar is how seamlessly it fits into busy lives. Just slip it on, snip off the extra length, and play without worry, even during the rain or at the dog park. The waterproof material means it stays effective through puddles and baths. While conventional collars rely on synthetic insecticides, this one spreads natural oils gently across your dog’s coat; safe for skin and easy to tolerate.

Here’s a story I hear often: “My 60‑lb retriever always suffered through parasite season,” one reviewer on Amazon shared. “But with these collars, I saw a marked absence of scratching. It’s better than pesticides, and the scent is pleasant.” Another pet parent chimed in: “The collar lasts about six months, and even at three months it still smelled fresh and working strong.”

Still, it’s not magic. A few users noted their dogs still picked up fleas in heavily infested areas, or that very small necks might leave excess length. For some, it lasted only around three months. These stories remind us that every dog and every yard is different. Pairing the collar with home and yard treatments can make all the difference in high‑pressure zones .

All in all, this two‑pack is a thoughtful combination of gentle, natural power and real-world convenience; designed for dogs big and small, puppies and adults. It doesn’t just sit on your pup, it walks alongside them as a quiet guardian of comfort and health.

5. How to Use

Here’s your friendly, step-by-step guide to fitting and activating the collar; no guesswork, just easy, confident protection:

1. Remove from Packaging & Prepare

• Take the collar out of its sealed wrapper, this starts the natural oil release.
• Discard any nylon strip or inner protection layers. If there’s no strip, you’re good to go.

2. Fasten Around Your Dog’s Neck

• Wrap the 24″ (≈ 62 cm) collar around your pup’s neck.
• Fasten the buckle, leaving 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) extra for future size adjustments, this space gives grip when it’s time to remove it. This collar is widely advertised as one-size-fits-all and adjustable for dogs of most breeds.

3. Trim for Comfort

• With the collar buckled and a bit of slack left, trim the excess tail.
• Tip: Leave a small piece (~2″/5 cm) after the buckle to help with future adjustments and removal.

4. Keep It On, Even in Water

• It’s waterproof, so baths, puddles, and rain won’t reduce effectiveness.
• Note: Avoid letting your dog submerge in deep water for long periods, just to maximize oil longevity.

5. Let It Work, No Reactivation Needed

• Oils release steadily over eight months of continuous wear.
• You don’t need reapplication, save messy sprays and monthly treatments.

6. Monitor the Fit & Condition

• Monthly: Just slip two fingers under the collar to check comfort.
• If you notice skin irritation or increased scratching, remove it temporarily and consult your vet; though most dogs tolerate natural collars well.

7. Time for a Fresh Collar

• After eight months, the oils deplete. Replace with a fresh collar to maintain protection.

Quick Checklist:

1. Remove from packaging
2. Buckle with 1–2″ slack
3. Trim off excess tail
4. Keep it on, even in water
5. Monitor monthly
6. Replace after 8 months

This method makes protecting your dog simple, clean, and worry-free.

FAQs

Here are some questions real pet parents ask online, answered clearly and with care:

Q1. Are natural essential oil flea collars really safe for dogs?

Answer: Natural collars use essential oils like citronella, peppermint, eucalyptus, and cedarwood to repel pests. Studies show they can be effective, but some oils can irritate or even be toxic in higher concentrations. A veterinary review found nearly 90 % of dogs and cats had adverse effects (like lethargy or vomiting) even when used per label instructions. While many pets handle them well, always watch for redness, scratching, or unusual behavior. If concerns arise, remove the collar and talk to your vet.

Q2. Can puppies wear this collar? What about pregnant or nursing dogs?

Answer: These natural collars typically state “for dogs older than 8 weeks,” though vets often recommend waiting until 12 weeks. That gives a better margin for safety with growing pups. For pregnant or nursing dogs, natural oils might still irritate; it’s safest to check with your veterinarian before use.

Q3. What if my dog swims or gets wet often, does it affect protection?

Answer: This 8‑month collar is waterproof; it holds up well through baths and rain. That said, excessive soaking (like frequent swimming) may shorten its lifespan. If water exposure is regular, swapping the collar every 4–6 months ensures continuous efficacy.

Q4. How tight should I wear the collar?

Answer: Leave enough slack to slide two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck. It allows airflow and comfort but stays tight enough to avoid slipping off.

Q5. Should I use other flea treatments alongside the collar?

Answer: In low-risk areas, the collar alone may suffice. But if your dog’s environment is heavily infested, pairing with monthly spot-on treatments or a vet-grade oral tablet is a smart move. It’s a layered defense, collar keeps pests away, other treatments help eliminate existing ones and treat your home environment .

Q6. Do these collars actually repel ticks and mosquitoes?

Answer: Yes, essential oils have been shown effective in lab settings. One study found clove oil achieved 100 % flea control at 4 % concentration, and other oils (citronella, peppermint) have anti-tick activity . But remember, performance can vary in the real world, consistent use and proper size fitting increase success.

Q7. What should I do if my dog has a reaction to the collar?

Answer: If you see redness, hair loss, vomiting, lethargy, or vomiting within 24 hours of putting it on, remove it right away. Bathe your dog gently to remove remaining oils, and keep a close eye on their symptoms. Many improve once the collar is off, but if issues persist, call your vet .

Bonus Tip from Pet Parents

Pinterest and Reddit pet communities often remind us:

“Be VERY CAREFUL using essential oils around pets, and never use them undiluted.”
“Seresto collar is very safe for dogs of 7 weeks and older…”

In summary: Natural flea collars can be a gentle, cost-effective way to protect your dog, but they’re not risk-free. Use as directed, monitor closely, and support them with safe spot-on or oral products when needed. And always… prefer professional advice if anything seems off.
