Summary. Despite the successes achieved in the prevention and control of parasitic diseases in companion animals, the issue of developing and implementing innovative, highly effective antiparasitic agents in veterinary practice is still relevant today. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of modern antiparasitic collars for dogs and cats in the prevention and treatment of ectoparasitic infections. The antiparasitic agents used in the experiments were ‘Flea and tick collar Comfort for cats’, ‘Antiparasitic collar TM Healthy Pet, Oberig’, ‘Flea and tick collar Comfort for dogs’, and ‘Antiparasitic collar TM Compliment, Oberig’. The active ingredient in the collars tested is diazinon. The experimental studies were conducted under current methodological recommendations and practical guidelines. The study of shelter pets and stray animals revealed their infestation with lice, fleas, and parasitic ticks of varying intensity. Experimentally, a high insecticidal effect of the products ‘Flea and tick collar Comfort for cats’ and ‘Antiparasitic collar TM Healthy Pet, Oberig’ was established, ‘Flea and tick collar Comfort for dogs’, ‘Antiparasitic collar TM Compliment, Oberig’ against fleas (Ctenocephalides felis, Ctenocephalides canis), chewing lice (Felicola subrostratus), sucking lice (Linognathus setosus), ticks (Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor spp., Rhipicephalus spp.) The effectiveness of the drugs is 100%. It has been experimentally proven that the studied collars with the active ingredient diazinon can be used for preventive and therapeutic purposes for companion animals in case of infestation with fleas, chewing lice, sucking lice, and ticks
