Posted by ALZOO™ | Flea, Tick, Grooming, Calming, and Home Care Questions Answered
ALZOO™ products are developed by veterinarians, chemists, and entomologists, which means we often receive detailed questions about how our formulas work and how to use them correctly. This knowledge base brings together in depth answers for pet parents, professionals, and retailers seeking a scientific understanding of flea and tick prevention, grooming, calming solutions, and home care.
🦟 Flea and Tick Science and Prevention
What do I do with the inner piece of the flea and tick collar?
The inner piece is required during the injection molding manufacturing process and must be removed before placing the collar on your pet. You can discard it, or since it contains plant based repellent ingredients, place it under a rug, inside a dog house, or near entry points to reduce pest activity.
Is the cat collar a breakaway design?
Yes. The ALZOO™ cat collar includes a breakaway system that releases under the force of a struggling cat (~4.5 pounds, ~120 Newtons) to prevent strangulation. Millions of collars have been distributed safely.
Why did ALZOO™ move to plant based repellents?
Traditional collars often contain organophosphates, which can be absorbed through the skin and pose health risks. ALZOO™ chose plant based repellents to protect both pets and humans. 🌿
How can fleas be effectively controlled?
- Focus on prevention – treat bedding, carpets, and resting areas.
- Vacuum regularly to reduce eggs and larvae.
- Use ongoing repellent products to stop re-infestation.
Can fleas bite humans?
Fleas prefer animals, but some humans may experience bites around ankles and calves. Consult a healthcare provider and treat both the home and pets if bites occur.
How do flea and tick collars work?
The active ingredient is embedded in the collar and released slowly over time. plant-based oils spread it across the skin for full body protection. Replacement is needed when the collar stiffens.
What if the collar scent feels too strong?
Compatibility with other products
If another plant-based flea product was used in the last 15 days, shampoo the neck area before applying the ALZOO™ collar. Our products are designed to work safely together.
Waterproofing and oil questions

🛁 Grooming and Skin Health
Can I use baby shampoo on my dog?
No. Dog skin has fewer protective layers and a more alkaline pH than human skin. Use shampoos formulated specifically for dogs.
Why does ALZOO™ shampoo foam less?
Our plant based, sulfate free shampoo cleans effectively with less foam. 🧴
