Flea & tick collar v. Frontline (or any other flea and tick brand)

[Kylee]

Hi everyone. I am sure at his topic has been discussed a lot but I was still hoping to get some help. Today I was talking with a K-9 cop who has had dogs for forever. He said that he prefers using a flea & tick collar to frontline or any other flea and tick preventative. He said every time he has used the collar he has never had fleas or ticks on any of his dogs. He also said the collar repels the fleas and ticks from even coming on the dog. Anybody ever have any experience with these collars? If so do you prefer them over frontline and what not? I don't love the idea if putting frontline on my doodle, but at the same time I want her to be safe and healthy. Thanks!!

Thanks for all the input!

It is important to use something like Frontline Plus that will kill the tick if it bites the dog!  Even if they get one and it attaches it will die right away.  It is hard to check our doodles for ticks with all the beautiful doodle fur!  :)
