When is the best time of the year to start putting a Flea & Tick collar on my dog?

Because substantial geographic differences occur in tick prevalence and seasonality, the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) supports year-round use of topical tick-control products on pets. Furthermore, in certain geographic regions, reactive or seasonal applications of tick-control products may be administered too late to prevent disease transmission.
