Seresto® Flea and Tick Collar for Dogs

The Seresto® collar works with a unique 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 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 for 8 months. The long-lasting, 8-month duration of Seresto® differentiates it from other flea and tick collars. 

How to apply the Seresto® collar on your dog:

1. Remove the collar from its packaging. 
2. Unroll the collar and remove the small plastic connectors from inside the collar, ensuring that no remnants remain. 
3. Insert the end of the collar through the buckle. 
4. Adjust the collar around the dog’s neck without tightening it too tight or leaving it too loose. 
5. As a guide, fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and the neck. Pull excess collar through the loop(s). Cut collar to a length no greater than one inch (2 cm) beyond the loop(s) unless it is on a growing puppy, where some additional length may be needed for adjustment as the animal grows.

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. 

It’s crucial that pet owners purchase real and genuine Seresto® products from authorized veterinary clinics and trusted retailers to help ensure product authenticity and performance.

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.
