Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok,after reading reviews and seeing pictures, I was very hesitant about trying this product. I normally use soresto collar,and never had any issues,except for the price. I have 2 Boxers,1 is white and has sensitive skin.She never had any reaction to the Soresto,and I saw the same thing with their reviews,certain dogs have a bad reaction or skin allergy to the collar. I decided I would give this product a try. Upon opening it,it does have a very strong smell,not necessarily bad,but strong. Before putting it on my dogs,I hung it up,outside in direct sunlight for about an hour. The aroma was still present,but...no where NEAR as strong as when opened. I put the collars on both dogs and watched them VERY closely for any reaction or side effects. No reactions from either dog! No skin irritations, no vomiting, no diarrhea, and best of all,no fleas or ticks at all. Not sure about mosquitoes, but i have a lot of them in my area,and have not noticed any of the "raised welt" bite marks typically left on my dog. To sum it up,so far,this has been a great product,and a huge savings. All dogs are different, will your dog have a reaction? I wish I could tell you no. But,my sensitive ,runt,white boxer girl,and my fawn girl,did just fine with these. If you try it,do like I did and air it out for an hr,and watch the neck area close for the first few days. If you notice something different,TAKE IT OFF! If your a good dog parent, you'll know right away if it's no good for your pal. UPDATE:AUG.21 2021... My girls have now had this collar on almost all summer. We've been swimming,outside at the park,and spent 2 wks in the mountains of W.Va. I have not found a single flea or tick on either dog,and there has been absolutely no hair loss or irritation on the neck area or near the collar. Again,all dogs are different,but this has been a great product. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, but strongly suggest watching your best friend closely for the first few hrs/days. Also make sure you read the bad reviews for the soresto collars,exact same reactions,with certain dogs.
