Re: Preventitic collar on bred female

It said on the label to consult your vet before putting it a pregnant dog. The fact that we have a couple of vets that post one here is why I asked the question.

Preventitic collar on bred female

My female pointer is carrying pups. We have problems with ticks around here and have had two dogs come down with tick fever over the years. My vet said leave the prevenitic collar on her it would not hurt the pups. Just wanted to see if there is some other views on this.
Thanks

If you are worried about shooting to close to the dog, have a helper to start at a distance with the blank gun as the bird is flushed. You can watch the dog for any sign that the blast is bothering the dog. If all goes well bring him in closer next time out.
