If you’re looking for a way to treat your Afghan Hound for fleas then you may want to talk to your vet Mt. Airy, MD about a flea collar. Flea collars are just one of many treatment options for preventing fleas on both dogs and cats. Most flea collars are simple to use and last anywhere between 3 to 8 months before needing to be replaced. Talk to your vet to find out if a flea collar is right for your Afghan Hound. Also ask for suggestions on what brand, size, and type of flea collar to buy and whether or not a collar can be used in addition to a topical flea treatment. In general, the flea collar releases a defense mechanism on the neck and shoulder area of your dog. This drives the fleas to the tail where they die and fall off. Unlike past collars, today’s flea collars give complete body protection.
