Animal insecticide and parasite treatments contain a variety of chemical ingredients and you should be aware of what you are subjecting your pet to and the likely side effects.
Here we list the various treatments we sell with links to the information describing the constituents.
There are many other treatments available, some only through vets or pharmacies, and they all have various levels of organophosphates or pyrethroids - often the same product under a different name - and we suggest that you "GOOGLE" the constituents or look them up on the wikipedia web site. Forwarned is forearmed.
Remember that no matter how bad the chemical treatments sound the diseases they help to prevent may actually be worse!
Organophosphates are nasty and seem to be commonly used in the Algarve for agricultural purposes and if you suspect that your pet has been poisoned (unexpected shivering, shaking and nervousness) get veterinary treatment IMMEDIATELY
Scalibor Collar (Dogs)
Note: Their datasheet is the only place we have seen that the collar should not be used with any other organophosphate based insecticide even though, as far as we can tell, the only listed ingredient, deltamethrin, is a pyrethroid.
Their datasheet also mentions that you should not use this product if you are allergic to triphenyl phosphate but this constituent is not included on their product label - presumably because they use it as a plasticiser and someone has not considered it to be an active ingredient. According to the US Department of Labour  this can cause muscle weakness and paralysis in animals and another pollution information site indicates that this is a suspected neurotoxicant! Maybe this is also the masked link associated with the organophosphate issue mentioned above.
