How Does the Seresto Dog Collar Work?

The Seresto dog collar continuously releases two active ingredients, Imidacloprid and Flumethrin, which spread across your dog's skin and coat in low doses. This controlled release ensures effective flea and tick protection without the need for frequent reapplications. Unlike topical treatments or oral medications, Seresto works on contact, killing parasites before they have a chance to bite.

Application Recommendations

For optimal protection, the Seresto dog collar should be applied before the start of flea and tick season. The protective effect against new tick infestations begins within two days after application.

Applying the collar is simple:

1. Remove the collar from its packaging and unroll it.
2. Place it around your dog’s neck, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit.
3. Trim any excess length, leaving about 2 cm beyond the buckle.
4. Check the fit regularly to ensure continued comfort and effectiveness.
