Warning:Toxic Chemicals in Flea and Tick Collars
Americans spend more than $1 billion each year on products designed
to kill fleas and ticks on household pets,and every year they make them stronger especially for dogs and cats.
While some of these products are safe, others leave harmful chemical
residues on our pets' fur and in our homes. These chemicals are highly
hazardous to animals and humans, can damage the brain and nervous
system, and cause cancer. The April 2009 paper Poison on Pets II
details a first-of-its-kind study by NRDC showing that high levels of
pesticide residue can remain on a dog's or cat's fur for weeks after a
flea collar is put on an animal. Residue levels produced by some flea
collars are so high that they pose a risk of cancer and damage to the
neurological system of children up to 1,000 times higher than the EPA's
acceptable levels.
Children are particularly at risk from these pesticides because their neurological and metabolic systems are still developing. They are also more likely than adults to put their hands in their mouths after petting an animal, and so are more likely to ingest the hazardous residues. We found that residues from two pesticides used in flea collars—tetrachlorvinphos and propoxur, among the most dangerous pesticides still legally on the market—were high enough to pose a risk to both children and adults who play with their pets.
California has already determined that one of these pesticides, propoxur, causes cancer and that consumer warnings are required. NRDC is suing major manufacturers and retailers of flea collars with propoxur to make them comply with this requirement or pull the products from California shelves. However, California’s laws are not enough—the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should step in to ban these dangerous products nationwide. Retailers should help keep pets and families safe by pulling products that contain tetrachlorvinphos and propoxur from their shelves.
NRDC's 2000 Poisons on Pets report led to the ban of six other pesticides in pet products, but products containing tetrachlorvinphos and propoxur are still on store shelves. The availability of many effective and safer alternatives for flea and tick control makes the continued use of these pesticides an unnecessary risk.

I am a father of two grown up boys who are 19 and 23 years of age.
I am a martial artist, Jazz musician and Dog lover and appreciate the need to be in good shape to enjoy life to the maximum. I have had the pleasure of being a dog owner virtually all my life and have had Poodles, Cocker Spaniels (crazy) Gigantic German Schnauzers (wonderfully loyal) and of late Old English Sheepdogs two in fact.
Junior is good and well ( 13 years old) and we go jogging most days.
I am no longer using chemical flea and tick products and his coat is a much better softer texture. He has been wearing the Pet Protector disc 2 years now and he's a happier healthier dog!
