Flea Collar

I got my puppy a flea collar and a friend told me she may have to be 12 weeks before I can use it on her.I have read the boxover and over and the pack and it doesn't say anywhere how old they need to be,it just says its for puppies.So is it safe to put it on her?

Thanks,
-Nathan

At best, flea collars don't work, and at worst, they can be dangerous.

Best thing you can do is cut up the flea collar and put the pieces in your vacuum cleaner bag, and get some Advantage or Frontline from your vet for you pup (as long as the pup's over 8 weeks).
