flea collar

German translation: Flohhalsband

English term or phrase: flea collar
Hello,

I was wondering what the German word for "flea collar" is? A flea collar is, of course, an animal collar - usually for dogs or cats - which contains insecticide for killing fleas.

Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Sincerely,

Brian Costello
