A series of flea collars is represented by several varieties, which differ in the active substance, length, and the presence of contraindications.
Active components and active substance
The inner side of the polymer tape is impregnated with a special composition that has protective properties that have an insecticidal effect. The active substances are carefully selected, so penetration into the animal’s circulatory system and changes in its composition are completely excluded.

Collars for puppies and kittens
Celandine collar
For small pets over 8 weeks The Celandine brand produces protective accessories Junior. The length of the polymer tape is 35 cm. The composition includes citronella oil, binders and active components: permethrin 1% and fipronil 5%. Insecticides do not penetrate the blood and do not change its qualitative composition. They are safe for animals, but have a destructive effect on lice, fleas, ticks, and lice-eaters in dogs and cats.
Side effects may occur if the animal has an individual intolerance to the components of the drug. If a cat or dog develops excessive salivation, muscle tremors, or lacrimation, the collar should be removed immediately. You can look at other types of collars for cats and dogs, and also learn how to put them on correctly. There are special collars for kittens.
Operating principle
Once put on, the Celandine flea collar begins to act actively. Permethrin, diazinon, citronella oil or pine fragrance, which is the main active ingredient, is gradually released from the surface. The product remains on the scalp without being absorbed into the systemic bloodstream. Places where active components accumulate:
- epidermis;
- hair follicles;
- sebaceous glands.
Protected!
The product has a long-lasting, contact effect, is well tolerated, non-toxic, and does not irritate the areas adjacent to the skin. Protects the animal from ixodid ticks, fleas, lice, lice.
Celandine in the collar - fact or fiction
The herb celandine has a number of beneficial properties and is widely used in folk medicine. It cleanses the skin of acne, warts, and promotes wound healing. But the plant does not have any destructive or repellent effect on parasites. Therefore, no company produces a flea collar with celandine for dogs and cats. It is also worth considering that the medicinal plant, despite its healing power, is a poisonous herb.
Collar Celandine
Enterprising people took advantage of the resulting confusion and new product positions appeared in some online stores, including a flea and tick collar for cats with celandine, drops for withers with extract. Don't be fooled and remember that there are no certified protective accessories containing celandine.
Review
A friend advised me to buy a Celandine biocollar for my cat. I only remembered the name of the herb and started looking in pet stores for a flea collar with celandine for cats. I had no time to read reviews and so I persistently searched for just such an accessory in veterinary pharmacies. It’s good that in one of the stores the seller explained everything to me clearly. This is what it means to not listen carefully to the advice of your friends.

How to tell if a cat has fleas
Each flea is small in size - 2-3 mm, and drinks little blood. The danger of infection by these insects is that they multiply quickly. A large number of parasites causes serious discomfort to the cat. They can cause the development of anemia, dermatitis, and allergic reactions. They carry worms and serious infectious diseases. Due to constant itching, the pet becomes irritable, and scratching the skin can cause infection.
Flea infection is especially dangerous for kittens and animals with weak immune systems. When there are a lot of insects, they can even bite a person. Therefore, you need to know what symptoms you can use to understand that your cat has fleas:
- the pet has become restless, irritable, and aggressive;
- his appetite decreased, he began to sleep poorly;
- often itches, licks itself intensively, rubs against the floor and walls;
- irritation or an allergic reaction appears on the skin;
- you can notice red spots, scratches, bleeding wounds;
- The condition of the fur has worsened: it has become dull and falls out.
How to check a cat
To understand that a cat's behavior change is caused by flea infestation and not by other insects or diseases, you need to examine it. Use your hands or a comb to part the fur, examining the skin. When infested with fleas, not only wounds and red spots on the fur will be noticeable, you can detect the insects themselves and traces of their vital activity. These are black dots, light small eggs.
You can place your pet on a white sheet or towel and comb the fur well with a fine comb and slicker brush. Black dots and the insects themselves will be immediately visible on white. To distinguish flea excrement from ordinary dirt, you need to slightly wet it. They will turn brown or red because they contain blood.

How can a domestic cat become infected with fleas?
Some owners believe that if a pet does not go outside, then it cannot have fleas. But parasites often appear in domestic cats. These insects reproduce quickly, live at temperatures of 20-30 ° C, but during the cold season they settle in the basements of houses. The risk of infection is especially high if the cat lives in a rural area. But she can also become infected in the city. How do insects get on a cat's fur?
- from other pets, usually from dogs that walk outside;
- from mice, rats, even pigeons that fly to the balcony where the cat likes to sit;
- enter from the entrance when opening the door to the apartment, through ventilation or cracks from neighbors;
- brought on the shoes or clothes of people from the street.
