Hi John, this is Peggy. I have lots of animals and the best way to take care of ticks and fleas is to get the good stuff from your vet. Be careful with cheap flea collars, they can make your animals sick. I put this on my animals every month and it works really good. If you have fleas in your home vacuum and wash all bedding . Hope this is helpful. Good luck
