Ingredients used in this collar are citronella, cedarwood, lemongrass, rosemary and sesame oils (all of which are natural insect repellents). Use this collar as a safer alternative to repel insects such as fleas, ticks, gnats, mosquitos and flies.

    Natural Research People Herbal Flea Collar

    • Plastic infused with essential oils is used to make this particular collar. The oils are released gradually over time as your dog wears the collar, repelling fleas, ticks and other unwanted parasites (mosquitos, flies, gnats). The oils are not washed off of the collar if the dog gets caught in the rain or other outdoor elements. The effects of the collar may last up to a year, but on average the collar lasts about three months. Since some dogs are sensitive to essential oils that repel fleas, this collar is a great alternative as it contains these oils but releases them in small amounts that will not irritate your dog's skin. Oils used in the flea control formula are pennyroyal, citronella, eucalyptus, rue and cedarwood.
