What is Scalibor® Parasite Collar for dogs used for?
The Scalibor® anti-parasitic collar is a reliable and effective method of protecting your dog against a variety of parasites, including sandflies, mosquitoes and ticks. The collar's active ingredient is deltamethrin, a substance known for its acaricidal and insecticidal properties. This guide will provide you with a detailed overview of the effectiveness of the Scalibor® collar, the diffusion time required, and the benefits associated with its use.
Deltamethrin is the active ingredient in Scalibor® collars. This substance acts by triggering a series of neurological reactions in parasites. First, it causes nervous hyperexcitation. This condition is rapidly followed by paralysis, tremors and, finally, the death of the parasite in question. The effectiveness of deltamethrin in treating parasitic infestations is therefore unequivocal.
Designed for comfort and effectiveness, the Scalibor® collar is both elastic and odorless. These features make it not only practical for the animal, but also pleasant for owners, who don't have to worry about discomfort or unpleasant odors.
The effectiveness of the Scalibor® collar remains between 94% and 98% for 12 months against sandflies. For mosquitoes (particularly Culex pipiens) and ticks, protection lasts up to 6 months. This long period of coverage makes the Scalibor® collar an excellent option for ensuring the health and well-being of your furry friend.
Leishmaniasis is a serious dog disease, most often fatal. A mosquito called a phlebotomine transmits the parasite from dog to dog. There is no vaccine against this disease.

How to use the Scalibor dog collar?
Wipe the collar with a damp cloth to remove excess powder from its surface. Cut the collar to size, leaving a two-finger gap between your dog's skin and the collar. Wash hands thoroughly after fitting. Optimal effectiveness is achieved after one week.
It is imperative to place the Scalibor® collar on your dog one week before the animal is exposed to an environment likely to be infested with parasites. This period is necessary for deltamethrin to diffuse optimally through the animal's coat and skin, ensuring maximum protection.
We recommend the complementary use of Frontline flea and tick pipettes, which are hypoallergenic, alcohol-free and very well tolerated by dogs with delicate, sensitive skin.
Flea and tick pipettes are generally waterproof, so your hunting dog or pet can swim in the river or sea without risking losing their protection against fleas and ticks.
