They say the collar has to be fairly snug and it could rub on the neck?
Love to dream has a point about the collar being in contact with their humans, who may be allergic or sensitive to the chemical.
Sorry about the Qs but using anything new on my dog takes courage and inertia, LOL! But I really would love to stop the messy topical.
Thank you so much, this thread has been interesting and helpful.
So far so good w/ the collars. I've had one on Daisy for a few days. If anyone would be sensitive, it would be her. She's perfectly fine.

I don't care about the contact w/ humans. I don't trust Nexguard and neither do my vets. I have no desire to overspend on this stuff, the collar is cheap and very effective. I spend $50/year after rebate for sentinel and the collars were 2 for $28 which arguably will last all season.
