What is Preventic for dogs?

Preventic is a medicated tick collar that controls a wide range of ticks on dogs. The active ingredient, Amitraz, works on contact, paralyzing the tick’s mouthparts and prevents them from attaching and feeding.

Preventic protects your dogs against ticks including, but not limited to, Indigenous ticks (Ixodes cornatus), bush ticks (HaemathysalisIongicornis), cattle ticks (Boophilusmicroplus), brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and deadly paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus).
