Description
As the original flea and tick collar, Seresto has delivered reliable, long-lasting** protection for years, earning its place as a leader* in flea and tick control.
Formulated with flumethrin and imidacloprid, the Seresto collar kills and repels fleas and ticks, and it kills chewing lice on dogs for a full 8 months. What's more, this tick and flea treatment for dogs is effective against fleas that may transmit tapeworm infections, as well as ticks that may transmit Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and more.
How it works: The collar's polymer matrix uses extended-release technology to gradually distribute the active ingredients across your dog’s skin and coat for 8 months. That's season-to-season flea and tick prevention for dogs you can rely on. Best of all, this tick and flea dog collar works through contact***, so fleas and ticks don't have to bite your dog to die.
Recognized as the #1 vet-recommended^ flea and tick collar, Seresto delivers proven 8-month efficacy against fleas and ticks backed by years of real-world use.
Designed for dogs and puppies 7 weeks of age and older, the adjustable Seresto dog collar comes in two sizes: for dogs under 18 lbs. and dogs over 18 lbs. It’s also odorless, non-greasy, and water-resistant†.

Useful Information
One collar per animal to be fastened around the neck. Remove the collar from bag directly before use. Unroll collar and make sure that there no remnants from the plastic connectors inside the collar.
- Insert end of the collar through the buckle. Adjust the collar around the animal's neck without tightening it too tight or leaving it too loose.
- As a guide, it should be possible to only insert 2 fingers comfortably between the collar and the neck.
- Pull excess collar thru the loop(s). Collar length of greater that 1 inch (2 cm) beyond the loop(s) should be cut off unless it is on a growing puppy, where some additional length may be needed for adjustment as the animal grows.
- After application of the collar, three reflector clips may be fixed permanently to the collar to increase the animal's visibility in the dark. Take the clips out of the bag. The clips should be evenly distributed on the non-overlapping part of the collar. The clips are correctly applied when a clicking sound is heard. For safety reasons once the reflectors are fixed to the collar the clasp closes permanently and cannot be re-opened.
Video Example of Collar Application
The collar should be worn continuously for the 8 month protection period. Check periodically and adjust fit if necessary, especially when puppies are rapidly growing. Rarely, mild application site reactions may occur, such as scratching, redmess and hairloss, which usually recover within 1-2 weeks without the need for collar removal. In some cases, temporary collar removal and bathing may be recommended until symptoms have disappeared. In very rare cases, application site reactions, such as dermatitis, inflammation, eczema or lesions may occur. In these instances, immediately. If your animal is on medicaiton, consult your veterinarian before using this or any other product.This collar is designed with a release mechanism. In the unlikely event of a dog being trapped, the dog's own strength is sufficient to widen the collar to allow for quick release. Replace the collar after 8 months for optimal tick and flea protection.
