Seresto provides vet-recommended, long-lasting flea and tick prevention collars for dogs and cats, offering up to 8 months of continuous protection.
Seresto is a leading brand in pet health, specializing in advanced flea and tick prevention for dogs and cats. Originally developed by Bayer and now part of the Elanco Animal Health family, Seresto offers a unique, vet-recommended polymer matrix collar that slowly and continuously releases its active ingredients (Imidacloprid and Flumethrin) over the skin and coat of the pet. This innovative slow-release technology provides comprehensive parasite protection for up to 8 continuous months, eliminating the need for monthly topical treatments.
Seresto collars are water-resistant, odorless, and non-greasy, remaining effective even after exposure to water, sunlight, or a shampoo treatment. They are designed with a safety release mechanism to ensure the pet's safety in the event they get caught or trapped. Available in different sizes for both large and small dogs, as well as cats, Seresto continues to be a trusted, convenient choice for pet owners seeking reliable and long-lasting pest control without the hassle.

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Yes, Seresto is water-resistant. The active ingredients are contained within a polymer matrix, so it remains effective following a shampoo treatment, swimming, or exposure to rain. For dogs that swim often (once a month or more), duration may be reduced to 5 months for fleas and 7 months for ticks.
Remove the collar from the packaging, unroll it, and remove any plastic remnants. Adjust it around your dog's neck, leaving a two-finger gap for comfort. Pull the excess collar through the loops and trim it, leaving one inch. Do not trim the excess if your puppy is still growing.
Seresto collars are designed with a safety release mechanism. If a pet gets trapped, a hard pull causes the ratchet-release mechanism to widen. Additionally, the small dog and cat collars feature a predetermined breaking point to allow for a quick release.
To maintain the full 8-month effectiveness, bathe your dog no more than once per month using a non-stripping pet shampoo. There is no need to remove the collar during bathing.
There is no expiration date required on the packaging by the EPA. Keep the product in its original unopened packaging and store it in a cool, dry place until you are ready to use it.
