Seresto Collar Dog Flea & Tick up to 17.6lbs (8kgs)

Active ingredients: Imidacloprid 100mg/g Flumethrin 45mg/g

Seresto is a breakthrough in flea and tick protection, providing up to 8 months of continuous protection from fleas for dogs and cats and 4 months continuous protection from ticks for dogs.

  • Protect your dogs and cats with a new, innovative, gold-standard collar.
  • Seresto works to treat and prevent flea infestations by killing adult fleas on your pet and flea larvae in their surroundings for up to 8 months.
  • Seresto also kills adult ticks, including the deadly Australian paralysis tick as well as brown dog and bush ticks for 4 months.
  • Seresto also kills juvenile stages (larvae and nymphs) of brown dog ticks.
  • For puppies from 7 weeks of age.
  • For external use only.
  • Ticks already on the dogs prior to treatment may not be killed immediately after collar application and may remain attached and visible.
  • Therefore removal of ticks already on the dog at the time of application is recommended.
  • Effective control of new brown dog tick infestations is achieved by 48 hours following collar application.

Dosage and Administration:

  • One collar treats a dog up to 8kg ( 17.6lb).
  • One collar per animal to be fastened around the neck.
  • Remove collar from protective pouch immediately before use.
  • Unroll collar and detach plastic connectors remaining on the inside edge of the collar (these can cause mechanical irritation if not removed).
  • Adjust the collar around the animal’s neck without over-tightening (as a guide, it should be possible to insert 2 fingers between the collar and the neck).
  • Pull collar through the loop and cut off any excess length extending beyond 2 cm.

Important:

  • Once collar is unrolled make sure that there are no plastic connectors remaining on the inside edge of the collar.
  • The collar should be worn continuously for the full protection period.
  • Check periodically and adjust fit if necessary, especially when puppies are rapidly growing.


General Directions:

  • The polymer matrix system ensures that both active ingredients are slowly and continuously released in low concentrations from the collar towards the animal.
  • This ensures that acaricidal/insecticidal concentrations of both actives are present in the dog’s haircoat during the entire efficacy period.
  • The active substances spread from the site of direct contact over the entire skin surface.
  • The modes of action do not require systemic absorption of active ingredients into the dog, so efficacy is achieved without requiring fleas or ticks to bite and ingest a blood meal.
  • This collar is designed with a safety-closure 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.
  • Shampooing or frequent exposure to water (e.g. swimming, bathing, rain) may reduce the efficacy against fleas.
  • Shampooing or frequent exposure to water has been shown not to reduce efficacy against brown dog tick.
  • Use a soap-free shampoo.
  • The effect of shampooing or exposure to water on efficacy against paralysis tick, bush tick or lice has not been established.

Paralysis tick:

  • The Paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus) is a potentially deadly parasite and difficult to control.
  • While Seresto flea and tick collars control paralysis ticks for 4 months, the risk of tick paralysis cannot be entirely eliminated as it takes only one adult female tick to cause tick paralysis/poisoning.
  • Therefore, daily searching for and removal of any ticks found is recommended.
