Amitraz mixes with the natural oils of your dog's skin and spreads from head to tail. Amitraz remains on the outside of the dog and penetrates the ticks ectoskeleton. The tick does not need to bite your dog to be killed. Many flea and tick collars on the market today will kill a percentage of the ticks found on dogs. Improper removal of the tick can leave behind infectious mouth parts and fluids.
Ticks are nationwide and carry many diseases.
The TICK Arrest collar safeguards dogs for 75 days. It is important to keep the collar adjusted throughout this time. Only bathe the dog with Francodex Hypoallergenic Shampoo , since bathing with soap removes all Amitraz from your dog's skin and haircoat. And because TICK Arrest works with a dog's natural oils, it is essential to treat severe dry skin problems, should they occur. Remember, TICK Arrest is not an insecticide, which means other methods must be used to control fleas.
