Has anyone had the purple tags interfering with a dogs sense of smell?

Been using them, no ticks, mosquitoes or flies

Go to YouTube and watch Houndsman XP video on how to put them on. Chris does a nice job. He also has a great podcast with Shorty on a lot of tricks on different things you can save money on when treating your hounds. They are not Vets nor am I, but having had hounds for almost 70 years, I have used/done a lot of what they say with no problems. One thing you may find interesting is the dosage of ivermectin “if” you give it orally.

It’s called “Caring for Hounds on a Budget”

I use them. I cut them in half and zip tie to the collar. I have not watched the houndsman xp as stated above but I am guessing they probably do it very similar. I have not noticed any negative side effects. THEY WORK!

If that was a good idea wouldn't someone make "dog tags"?

There is nothing on the box that has a "weight" on it so I don't know where you are coming up with this 1000 pounds??? If fact, it says it can be used on calves. So I would say a 35 pound calf to a 2000 pound bull uses the same tag. BUT it's still your choice, no one is making you try it.

How often do you replace these tags?

For my beagles I cut them in thirds and wrap around the collar so only half the tag is touching. I use bravecto and a seresto collar on the coondogs but may change with the price increases.

I have tried the flea and tick collars in the past. They didn’t work near as good as the cattle tags have worked for me. Not to mention saving $ with using the tags. A box of 20 cattle tags will cost between $45-$50. I cut each tag in half so I can treat 40 dogs for what 1 flea collar costs at about $50-$60 each. Also the cattle tags last about 4 months. Which is about how long I saw the flea collars “somewhat” working. It is all preference in my eyes, if something works for you, then it is right for you. If it don’t, then find something else. To answer the original question, I have not seen or noticed any negative side effects and it accomplishes what I use it for.

I put them on when the snow leaves which is usually mid April and as of today, they are still keeping the flies away and no ticks. I plan on taking them off when I do the ivermax treatment Oct 1st.

I'm a little confused as to why so many questions about wormer and fleas. I give my dog Simparica and nothing else. Am I missing something?
