Flea collar for cats and dogs

Bars means for protecting pets from parasites occupy a separate place among similar drugs. The domestic manufacturer Agrovetzashchita, Moscow, made sure that the preparations were highly effective and accessible to all segments of the population. Among them are spray for dogs and cats, drops for puppies and dogs, flea shampoo. With the advent of spring, the question of protecting a pet from fleas and ticks becomes especially relevant. The solution may be the collar Bars. How effective and safe it is - let's understand.

Composition and mechanism of action

The flea collar Bars is a tape of polymer material with a length of 35, 50 or 80 cm. The dimensions of the protective accessory determine its cost, which varies in the range of 100-160 rubles. The composition of the product includes the active substance - fipronil. It inhibits the nervous system of parasites, resulting in paralysis and insect death. Fipronil is characterized by a specific odor, therefore, this aroma is inherent in all Bars collars.

In addition to fipronil, there is an arthropod growth regulator in the composition. It suppresses the processes of molting, pupation, and prevents chitin formation. The tandem of two active components destroys all sexually mature individuals, insect larvae and provides a protective barrier for 4-5 months.

The inside of the Bars collar is coated with a chemical compound. In contact with the skin of an animal, the release of active substances begins, which adversely affects parasites and is safe for a cat or dog. The chemical components do not penetrate into the circulatory system and are concentrated in the sebaceous glands, therefore, the chances of pet intoxication are negligible.

The Bars collar for dogs and cats is used on the same basis. The accessory is put on the animal’s neck and adjusted so that between the collar and the neck there is a small gap of 1-1.5 cm. After this, the long end of the tape is passed through the retainer and the excess is cut off. The accessory requires constant wear, only in this case you can count on effective protection against fleas and ticks.

Protective agent reviews

Last year, I bought a Bars collar for dogs, reviews about him were the most laudatory. The tool did not cope with its tasks. After only two weeks of wearing the accessory, he noticed that Fidget was constantly itching, and upon a detailed examination he found fleas.

I bought collars for village grandmothers cats. She has two of them and wanted to get something very budgetary. Therefore, I opted for a domestic manufacturer and bought two Bars collars, the benefit of one is only 100 rubles. For the first hours, cats, after wearing accessories, behaved somewhat strangely. They revolved around themselves, tried in vain to remove devices incomprehensible to them. Then they calmed down, played a bit and completely forgot about outlandish ribbons. Despite the low price, the tool perfectly protected cats from parasite attacks.

I got a flea collar Bars. He copes with protection against parasites perfectly, but the attachments are very weak. It would be necessary for manufacturers to pay attention to this nuance, which discourages the acquisition of another Bars collar.

Andrey, Kirovograd

I was very afraid to get such a cheap protective agent. But since I bought a collar for the first time for my cat, I was worried that Mask would not want to wear it and the purchase of an expensive branded accessory would be a waste of money. Therefore, I bought a collar Bars. Oddly enough, but the cat began to wear it with pleasure, and the fleas stopped attacking.
