As a pet owner with indoor-outdoor cats, I’ve struggled with flea and tick infestations due to the neighborhood strays and dogs.
Traditional flea collars often left an unpleasant odor, but this collar is a game-changer! It’s completely odorless yet incredibly effective, eliminating every single flea and tick within just a couple of days. My cats no longer suffer from irritation, and the collars last an impressive 8 months.
The best part? No more dealing with messy topical treatments that my cats despise. After years of trying different products, I’ve finally found a reliable solution that keeps my furry friends comfortable and pest-free.

This flea collar has been a game-changer! For years, I struggled with fleas invading my home and tormenting my furry companions. But since using this collar, my dog has been flea-free, even during our adventurous camping trips. The instant relief it provides from scratching is remarkable. While occasional neck irritation occurs, removing the collar for short periods resolves it.
I’m impressed by its effectiveness, especially considering my yard’s flea-infested environment. If it maintains its potency for at least six months, it will undoubtedly be worth every penny spent. So far, this collar has exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier!

The lightweight, adjustable design ensures a comfortable fit without irritation, and the lack of overpowering smells or greasy residues is a welcome departure from traditional products.
While results may vary based on your pet’s size, I’ve witnessed remarkable efficacy across dogs ranging from petite to behemoth breeds. The longevity of these collars is equally impressive, lasting well beyond the advertised duration.
Undoubtedly a worthwhile investment in your pet’s comfort and well-being, I wholeheartedly endorse it to anyone seeking respite from parasitic pests.
Seresto® for Cats and Dogs
How do Seresto ® collars for dogs work?
How do Seresto ® collars for dogs work?
The Seresto® collar works with a patented polymer matrix of two active ingredients, which spread from the site of direct contact over the skin surface of your dog:
- Imidacloprid has been used in products for years to control flea infestations.
- Flumethrin effectively kills and repels ticks.
- Flumethrin works together with imidacloprid to provide dual action against fleas and ticks. No other product has this combination of ingredients.
Sustained release technology
Seresto® works similarly to a monthly topical in the fact that the active ingredients spread from the site of direct contact over the skin surface. The active ingredients in Seresto® are released in low concentrations from within the collar and, thanks to your pet's skin and coat, spread from head to toes, even the tail. As the active ingredients wear off over time, a new supply is continuously replenished in low concentrations for 8 months. The long-lasting, 8-month duration of Seresto® differentiates it from other flea and tick collars.

How do l apply the Seresto@ collar and take it off my dog?
How to apply the Seresto® collar on your dog:
- Remove the collar from its packaging.
- Unroll the collar and remove the small plastic connectors from inside the collar, ensuring that no remnants remain.
- Insert the end of the collar through the buckle and loops.
- Adjust the collar around your dog's neck until it fits comfortably on them.
- Two fingers should fit beneath the collar and neck to ensure it's not too tight. Any excess length of the collar beyond an inch past the loops should be cut off, unless it is on a growing puppy, where some additional length may be needed for adjustment as the puppy grows.
- Check periodically and adjust fit if necessary, especially on growing puppies.
- Seresto® comes with three optional reflector clips that can be attached to the collar to help keep your dog visible at night. The reflector clips should be evenly distributed on the non-overlapping part of the collar.

Why can Seresto @ be used on pets?
Why can Seresto @ be used on pets?
Seresto® kills fleas and ticks.
Seresto® was designed with specific ingredients at doses that are active against fleas and ticks. Studies show that fleas and ticks are highly susceptible to the combination of imidacloprid and flumethrin found in Seresto®.
The continuous distribution technology ensures that both active ingredients are slowly and continuously released from the collar toward the animal. This ensures that concentrations of both active ingredients are present on the dog during the entire protection period. The active ingredients spread from the site of direct contact over the skin surface.
Is there a Seresto @ recall?
Is there a Seresto @ recall?
There is no evidence in the scientific evaluation conducted for registration or the regularly reviewed pharmacovigilance data to suggest a recall of Seresto® is warranted, nor has one been requested, or even suggested by any regulatory agency. As a result, Elanco continues to stand behind the safety profile of Seresto®. It remains available to consumers as an effective way to protect pets against fleas and ticks that can transmit disease and can impact their quality of life.
