If you want to protect your furry friend from fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and other parasites, using a DEWEL Flea & Tick Collar is an effective and natural solution. Made with essential oils, this collar works by repelling parasites rather than killing them, making it safer for your pet. To get the best results, it’s essential to follow the proper steps.

Step 1: Choose the Right Collar and Prepare

1) Measure Your Pet’s Neck

• Before purchasing or using the collar, measure your pet’s neck carefully. DEWEL collars are soft, adjustable, and available in three sizes: 34.5cm, 63.5cm, and 70cm. Leave some extra room to ensure comfort.

2) Acclimate to the Scent (Optional)

• The collar has a strong natural citronella scent. If you or your pet are sensitive to smells, leave the collar in a ventilated, dry place for a few days before putting it on. This will help reduce the initial odor while still maintaining its protective properties.

Step 2: Before Putting on the Collar

1) Perform a Full Parasite Treatment

• Because the DEWEL collar is a repellent, not a pesticide, it will not kill existing fleas or ticks. Before using, make sure your pet is free of parasites with a complete external parasite treatment.

2) Assess Your Pet’s Health

• Suitable for cats and dogs over 2 months of age
  
• Not recommended for indoor-only cats
  
• For older, sick, or pregnant pets, consult a veterinarian before use
  
• Do not use if your pet is allergic to any of the collar ingredients
  

Step 3: Fitting the Collar (Days 1–7)

1) Proper Fit

• Fasten the collar around your pet’s neck and adjust it so that two fingers fit comfortably between the collar and the neck. For growing pets, leave an extra 3–5 cm. Trim any excess after adjustment.

2) Gradual Protection

The essential oils need about 7 days to spread from the neck to the rest of the body. During this period:

• Avoid areas with high flea or tick activity if possible
  
• Monitor your pet closely for allergic reactions, redness, itching, or excessive scratching. If any occur, remove the collar immediately and rinse the neck with water
  

3) Initial Parasite Presence

• It is normal if your pet still encounters some fleas or ticks during the first week. Remove visible parasites manually and continue wearing the collar—the protective barrier will become fully effective over time.

Step 4: Daily Use and Maintenance

1) Maintain Effectiveness

• Avoid soaking the collar in water for extended periods to preserve its repellent function.

2） After Bathing

• The collar’s protective layer may weaken after a bath. Allow 7 days for it to regain full effectiveness.

3）Timely Replacement

• Replace the collar every 6–8 months to ensure continuous protection. If your pet continues to experience frequent flea or tick infestations before this period, the collar may have lost its efficacy and should be replaced sooner.
