What is Octoprotect Small Dog Pest Collar used for?
Protecting a small dog under 8 kg from external parasites is essential for its health and well-being. This anti-parasite collar provides effective protection for up to 8 months against fleas, ticks and lice, which can cause not only itching but also serious illness. With its prolonged action, it is a practical and reliable solution for owners who wish to preserve their companion's quality of life without having to resort to repetitive treatments.
This medicated device combines two powerful active ingredients: imidacloprid and flumethrin. Together, they paralyze and eliminate parasites, while acting as a repellent to limit reinfestation. Thanks to this dual mechanism, the collar acts both curatively and preventively. In other words, it eliminates parasites already present and prevents the appearance of new colonies on the animal and in its immediate environment.
In the event offlea infestation, this collar offers rapid relief from itching in less than 48 hours, while reducing the risk of flea-bite allergic dermatitis (FAD). It also limits the transmission of intestinal worms such as Dipylidium, which are often carried by fleas, guaranteeing overall protection that goes far beyond simple anti-parasite action.
Tick control is just as crucial: these parasites can transmit serious diseases such as Lyme disease, piroplasmosis and ehrlichiosis. The collar provides acaricide and repellent action against various tick species, significantly reducing the risk of contamination. This tick prevention is a real asset to your dog's health, especially when walking in wooded or grassy areas.
The collar also helps reduce the risk of leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease transmitted by sandflies. This indirect but essential protection gives the product an extended preventive dimension that meets the needs of owners living in high-risk regions. By covering several disease vectors, it is positioned as a tool of choice in veterinary prevention.
Last but not least, its practical, water-resistant design makes everyday life with your dog easier : no need for monthly pipettes, or removal when swimming. Odorless, discreet and adjustable, it fits small dogs perfectly, while preserving their comfort and safety. It's a durable, economical and effective solution for owners concerned about their pet's health.
An alternative to this product is Seresto Collier Petits Chiens inférieur à 8 kg Elanco, another recognized solution to reinforce your companion's anti-parasite protection.

Expert advice
In naturopathic veterinary medicine, preventing parasitic infestations also involves strengthening the body as a whole. A dog in good health, with a balanced diet and a robust immune system, will be less vulnerable to parasites. Adding essential fatty acids to the diet (such as those derived fromfish or linseedoil ) can help improve coat quality and skin resistance.
In addition, certain natural supplements such as brewer's yeast or garlic in very low doses (under veterinary supervision) are traditionally used to reinforce the skin barrier. Finally, maintaining a clean environment - regularly washing baskets, frequent vacuuming of textiles - helps to limit the proliferation of flea larvae and completes the action of the collar.
