The Kiltiks collar was recommended to us by the veterinarian as the safest, safest measure. I put it on my pet, and after 3 days I regretted it. Sores began to appear behind the ears, more every day. At first I could not connect it with collarrushed to the vet. They diagnosed us with an allergy and prescribed medications for treatment. The accessory was banned. I can’t say this is an individual intolerance or it often happens.

Alina, Tver

Outwardly, the Kiltiks collar does not look very attractive. For that kind of money, one could come up with something prettier. It is put on very simply - you just need to tighten it around the neck. At first there is a specific smell, stains on the wool, some white powder protrudes, then everything passes, nothing is visible. The dog did not cause allergies in the dog; from the first days of wearing, he felt wonderful. Protects firmly 6 months. We walk with him in the forest, through the fields, and run along the street. I often inspect the body, I do not find any fleas or ticks.
