It also aids in the treatment and control of sarcoptic mange and kills lice.\r\n\r\nWhatever your dog brings home, it shouldn't be fleas and ticks.\r\n\r\nDogs will be dogs. Whether they get into the garbage can out back or dig up that old shoe in the yard, Seresto® for dogs can help keep them protected from fleas and ticks for 8 continuous months. The innovative Sustained Release Technology of Seresto® provides effective flea and tick protection in an easy-to-apply, non-greasy collar.\r\n\r\nTruly unique technology for your dog.\r\n\r\nSeresto® is a unique polymer matrix collar that offers a continuous supply of two active ingredients: imidacloprid and flumethrin for effective 8-month protection against fleas and ticks. That's one convenient, non-greasy, odorless flea and tick collar instead of 8 monthly treatments.\r\n\r\nThe active ingredients are stored within the collar. They are released in low concentrations and are distributed over your dog's hair and skin surface for 8 months. As active ingredients wear off over time, Seresto® for dogs continuously replenishes the skin and coat with a new supply of active ingredients. Fleas and ticks are killed through contact with the active ingredients — no biting required.\r\n\r\nFor 8 months prevention and treatment of ticks, fleas and lice on small dogs and puppies 7 weeks of age and older and up to 18 lbs.

Remove collar from bag directly before use. Unroll collar and make sure that there no remnants from the plastic connectors inside the collar.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tInsert end of the collar through the buckle. Adjust the collar around the animal's neck without tightening it too tight or leaving it too loose.\r\n\r\n\r\n \tAs a guide, it should be possible to only insert 2 fingers comfortably between the collar and the neck.\r\n\r\n\r\n \tPull excess collar thru the loop(s). Collar length of greater that 1 inch (2cm) beyond the loop(s) should be cut off unless it is on a growing puppy, where some additional length may be needed for adjustment as the animal grows.\r\n\r\n\r\n \tAfter application of the collar, three reflector clips may be fixed permanently to the collar to increase the animal's visibility in the dark. Take the clips out of the bag. The clips should be evenly distributed on the non-overlapping part of the collar. The clips are correctly applied when a clicking sound is heard. For safety reasons once the reflectors are fixed to the collar the clasp closes permanently and cannot be re-opened.\r\n\r\nThe collar should be worn continuously for the 8 month protection period. Check periodically and adjust fit if necessary, especially when puppies are rapidly growing. Rarely, mild application site reactions may occur, such as scratching, redmess and hairloss, which usually recover within 1-2 weeks without the need for collar removal. In some cases, temporary collar removal and bathing may be recommended until symptoms have disappeared. In very rare cases, application site reactions, such as dermatitis, inflammation, eczema or lesions may occur. In these instances, immediately. If your animal is on medicaiton, consult your veterinarian before using this or any other product.\r\n\r\nThis collar is designed with a release 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. Replace the collar after 8 months for optimal tick and flea protection.\r\n\r\nIt is a violation of federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not contaminate feed or food.\r\n\r\nOccasionally slight itching may be observed in animals that are not used to wearing collars in the first few days after fitting. ensure that the collar is not fitted too tightly.

This avoids peak concentrations and ensures that concentrations of both active ingredients are present in the dog's haircoat during the entire efficacy period. The active ingredients spread from the site of direct contact over the entire skin surface.\r\n\r\nSeresto® FAQs\r\n\r\nWhen can I bathe my dog after application of Seresto® for dogs?\r\nWe recommend bathing BEFORE applying product.
