Seresto Collar for Dogs

Seresto Collar for Dogs

Make your dog’s protection against parasites an easy task for you with the Seresto Dog Collar. It is one of the most vet-recommended flea and tick collars for dogs. This non-greasy collar offers long-lasting protection and kills and repels fleas and ticks for 8 continuous months. The collar is odorless and provides 3-way protection against fleas, ticks and lice without irritating your pet. The unique release mechanism of this collar makes it a safe option, as your dog’s own strength is usually sufficient to widen the collar for quick release, if required. Convenient to use, this collar is water-resistant and continues to be effective following a shampoo treatment, swimming or after exposure to rain or sunlight. It is easy to wear and is suitable for dogs and puppies from 7 weeks of age.

Seresto Collar Coverage

Seresto Collar can be a convenient flea and tick protection option for fussy eaters. This no-mess, wearable treatment :

• Kills and repels fleas before they lay eggs, including fleas that may cause Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) or Flea Bite Hypersensitivity (FBH)
• Repels and kills fleas, including fleas that may transmit canine vector-borne diseases, like tapeworm infections, bartonellosis, and rickettsiosis
• Repels and kills ticks for 8 months, including deer ticks, American dog ticks, brown dog ticks, and lone star ticks

• Kills chewing lice

How It Works

Seresto collar contains two powerful ingredients – flumethrin and imidacloprid. Imidacloprid is used to control flea infestations, and flumethrin kills and repels ticks. The active ingredients spread from the site of direct contact over the skin surface from head to tail. The polymer matrix technology of this collar ensures that both active ingredients are slowly and continuously released, providing 8 months of uninterrupted protection.

This collar kills fleas and ticks through contact, so no flea or tick biting is required. After 24 hours of application, new fleas are killed within 2 hours. After 48 hours of application, new ticks are repelled and/or killed in as quickly as 6 hours.
