Alert on tick and flea collars

Check out your dogs flea collar as there are warnings that some contain poisons that can affect children.We use Scalibor which having checked it is not on the danger  list and we use to protect against  ticks and the dreaded leishmaniasis. We also use Advocate monthly  which is for fleas .I enquired about leishmaniasis in a previous post  and Helen Graham informs me that the vaccine is very expensive and as yet unproven.  She also warns about using Advantix with Scalibor apparently a dangerous combination. Helen  who replied to the Tick collar post has bred dogs for 40 years and has a world famous kennel so her information can be relied on. The fact that she does not look old enough means she must have started dog breeding at a very tender age.
