Product Information
Full details
The Seresto Collar - 8kg is designed for dog owners seeking long-lasting protection against fleas, ticks, and lice for their medium-sized canine companions. Its primary benefit is providing up to 8 months of continuous defense, significantly reducing the risk of parasite-borne diseases like leishmaniasis. A potential consideration is that initial application may cause temporary irritation in a small number of sensitive animals. This innovative collar features a time-controlled release of active ingredients, ensuring sustained efficacy and also helps to control flea larvae in the dog's environment.

Can I use this collar on a puppy?
The Seresto Collar is suitable for puppies 7 weeks of age and older.
Is the collar waterproof?
The collar is water-resistant. It remains effective after occasional water exposure like swimming or shampooing. However, prolonged or frequent immersion may shorten the duration of efficacy.
What should I do if my dog gets a skin reaction?

How do I dispose of the used collar?
Dispose of the used collar according to local regulations. It is recommended to wrap it in newspaper or plastic before discarding.
Can I use Seresto collars on multiple pets at the same time?
Yes, Seresto collars can be used on multiple dogs and cats simultaneously, provided they are of appropriate age and size for their respective collars. Ensure each pet has its own correctly fitted collar.
Troubleshooting

Re-adjust the collar to ensure a snug fit. Thread the excess length securely through the buckle and retainer. Check regularly, especially on younger dogs.
