After diligently controlling the flea population in our home all spring, we tried the Scalibor collar on our dog back in June and are now facing an infestation of EPIC proportions. Checked with our vet to see if we did something wrong - nope. It's the product that's the culprit. We are angry and our animals are miserable! I've read other unhappy reviews now, as well, and want to put in my two cents to spread the word: DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT FOR FLEA CONTROL.
