Beaphar Canishield Flea & Tick Collar for Large Dogs 65cm
About This Collar
This Beaphar Canishield medicated collar is the 65cm version for large dogs. It contains deltamethrin, which is released gradually from the collar to kill fleas and ticks and provide anti-feeding and killing activity against sandflies.
The collar offers flea-killing activity for 16 weeks, tick-killing activity for up to 6 months and sandfly anti-feeding and killing activity for up to 5.5 months. The full effect develops after approximately one week, so fit it in advance of anticipated exposure.
Suitable for dogs and puppies from 7 weeks of age, provided the collar can be fitted correctly.

What It Does
- Fleas: persistent killing activity for 16 weeks.
- Ticks: persistent killing activity for up to 6 months.
- Sandflies: anti-feeding and killing activity for up to 5.5 months.
- The deltamethrin is released from the collar over time rather than requiring a monthly spot-on application.
- Once the first week of treatment has passed, fleas are killed within 24 hours and ticks and sandflies within 48 hours of exposure.
- The flexible collar can be adjusted to the dog’s neck and secured with its buckle.
How to Fit and Use
- Keep the collar sealed in its sachet until you are ready to fit it.
- Place it around the dog’s neck and feed the loose end through the buckle. Adjust to allow space for two fingers between the collar and the neck.
- Cut off any spare length extending more than 5cm beyond the buckle and dispose of the trimmed section as directed on the pack.
- Check the fit periodically, especially as a puppy grows. For ongoing flea protection, replace the collar every four months.
- Fit at least one week before the dog is likely to encounter fleas, ticks or sandflies. Remove the collar when the dog goes swimming, as advised by Beaphar.

- Do not use on puppies under 7 weeks, dogs with damaged skin, or dogs known to be sensitive to the ingredients. Do not use on sick or recovering animals. Seek veterinary advice before use in pregnant or nursing dogs.
- Do not allow animals to chew the collar. Remove it and consult a vet if skin irritation occurs.
