"One collar every 6 months... I love the Adams brand (No side effects so far) Our dog needed flea and tick protection. Years ago, our vet in TX used Adams monthly tick collars, so I felt safe to try the Adams flea/tick combo"

— Elek

"Worst collar I've ever purchased"

Bottom Line

This product is a budget option and may work well for some pets, particularly for occasional protection, but potential allergies and ineffectiveness should make potential buyers cautious. Seresto Collars have been recommended as an alternative by satisfied customers with the Seresto brand.
