What is your opinion on the long term flea collars (Seresto, etc.)? Do they do a good job? Are they as good or better than the topicals?

In my opinion ''topicals'' are best as collar tend to loose their efficacy pretty quickly. That is just a personal opinion based on my clinical activity and feedback from clients. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
