Product Description
Dechra's Atocare collar represents an innovative approach to managing canine skin health. The medicated collar is designed to provide consistent therapeutic benefits through its unique delivery system. The 35cm size makes it ideal for medium-sized dogs, while the 2.5% active formulation ensures effective treatment of various dermatological conditions.
This collar works by slowly releasing active ingredients that help soothe irritated skin, reduce inflammation, and support the skin's natural healing processes. The hands-free application makes it an excellent choice for pet parents who struggle with topical treatments or have dogs that resist traditional medication routines.
The collar's design allows for comfortable wear while ensuring the active ingredients remain in contact with your dog's skin and coat. This continuous contact helps maintain consistent therapeutic levels, potentially leading to better outcomes compared to intermittent treatments.

Directions for Use
Remove collar from packaging and adjust to fit comfortably around your dog's neck, leaving enough space for two fingers between the collar and neck. Ensure the collar maintains contact with the skin and coat. Replace as directed by your veterinarian or according to package instructions. Monitor your pet during initial use for any signs of irritation.

Always consult with your veterinarian before starting any medicated collar to ensure it's appropriate for your dog's specific condition and to establish proper monitoring protocols.
