Kiltix Flea & Tick Collar For Dogs

Bayer/Elanco is introducing Kiltix, the ultimate solution for safeguarding your canine companion against the relentless onslaught of fleas and ticks. These tiny but troublesome creatures cause discomfort to your beloved pet and pose a significant risk by acting as carriers for various diseases. Among them, the problematic paralysis ticks stand out as a dire threat, capable of inducing paralysis and even fatality in your furry friend through their toxic feeding process.

Kiltix steps in as your trusted ally, offering a formidable defense that extends over an impressive duration. Regarding fleas, rest easy knowing that Kiltix maintains its effectiveness for a remarkable span of 5 months. The relentless brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and bush ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis) are held at bay for just as long, providing your dog with enduring protection. And for the formidable paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus), Kiltix remains steadfast for up to 6 weeks, ensuring your canine's safety during their high-risk season.

With Kiltix, you can grant your loyal companion the gift of uninterrupted comfort and security, free from fleas and ticks for an extended period.

Who is it for?

The Kiltix collar is a versatile choice, catering to the needs of robust canines aged three months and older (equivalent to 12 weeks). Its adaptability shines as there are no restrictions based on weight, making it a fitting option for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Thanks to its adjustable one-size design, you can tailor it to accommodate your loyal companion comfortably.

While Kiltix generally presents no anticipated adverse effects when used on pregnant or nursing dogs, it's important to note that the safety of Kiltix collars during pregnancy and lactation hasn't been conclusively established. Caution is advised in such situations, and consulting with your veterinarian for guidance would be a prudent step to ensure your dog's and her puppies' well-being.

Side Effects Of Kiltix Collar

While it's reassuring to know that adverse reactions to the collar are infrequent, it's essential to remain vigilant as they can occasionally manifest, particularly when the collar is chewed or combined with products that are not recommended. These uncommon side effects can encompass symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, an overabundance of salivation, a sense of weakness, and even paralysis.

If any of these unexpected adverse reactions arise, it is imperative to take swift action. Your first action should be promptly removing the collar, ensuring that your pet's safety and well-being are the top priorities.

Precautions 

• Kiltix collar should be worn continuously except when bathing or swimming.
• Please do not let your pets chew on the collar.
• Contraindicated for use with any other anticholinesterase/organophosphate pesticide.
• Please do not use it on sick or convalescing dogs.
• Please do not use it on dogs under three months of age.

Effectiveness of Kiltix Collar

Upon adorning your dog with the Kiltix collar, the battle against fleas begins immediately, with its potent effects kicking in right away. This remarkable defense mechanism persists for an impressive duration, offering up to 5 months of unwavering protection against these pesky parasites. Moreover, the collar protects against brown dog ticks and bush ticks, albeit it provides a robust level of control rather than absolute protection against paralysis ticks. To bolster this defense, we strongly advocate for a daily routine of inspecting your canine companion and promptly removing lurking ticks. For dogs sporting thick, double coats, please bear in mind that it might take up to a week for the full extent of tick protection to take effect.

While the Kiltix collar is engineered to withstand water's rigors, we recommend a temporary removal when your dog indulges in swimming or bathing. This precaution ensures that the collar retains its maximum effectiveness and remains a stalwart defender against these troublesome parasites.

Given the ever-shifting environmental conditions, it's wise to remain adaptable. Depending on the prevailing circumstances, replace the collar more frequently to ensure your dog's uninterrupted protection.
