Seresto Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs

Seresto is a veterinarian-recommended flea and tick collar that provides up to 8 months of continuous protection for dogs. It works without the mess of monthly spot-ons and without the hassle of daily tablets. Put it on once and your dog gets long-lasting defense against fleas and ticks.

Key Benefits

  • Long-lasting protection – up to 8 months against fleas and ticks.
  • Fast action – starts working quickly after application.
  • Water-resistant – remains effective after bathing and swimming (once collar is fitted as directed).
  • Low odor, non-greasy – no oily residue.
  • Easy to use – adjustable collar with quick check of fit.

How Seresto Works

Seresto uses a polymer matrix to slowly and steadily release its actives over your dog’s coat and skin.

  • Imidacloprid – controls fleas at multiple life stages.
  • Flumethrin – repels and kills ticks.

How to Use

  1. Remove the collar from the pouch and unroll it.
  2. Place around your dog’s neck and insert the end through the buckle.
  3. Adjust to fit: you should be able to slide two fingers between the collar and neck.
  4. Trim excess length, leaving about 2–3 cm beyond the buckle.
  5. Check fit regularly, especially on growing dogs.
