Useful Information
One collar per animal to be fastened around the neck. Remove the collar from bag directly before use. Unroll collar and make sure that there no remnants from the plastic connectors inside the collar.
- Insert 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.
- As a guide, it should be possible to only insert 2 fingers comfortably between the collar and the neck.
- Pull excess collar thru the loop(s). Collar length of greater that 1 inch (2 cm) 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.
- After 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.
Video Example of Collar Application
The 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.This 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.

Customer Reviews
l would give it a try. I get my dog a bath on 3/27/2021, once he dried, I put the Seresto Collar on him. Our experience so far has not been good as of 4/11/2021. Last week I had to give him a different treatment. He was biting and scratching himself. He still has on the Seresto Collar. To me the claims for this collar are false. Kills fleas in 2 hours. Kills re-infesting fleas in 2 hours. I looked at him this morning and he has flea bites all over his body. I wished that I had never purchased this collar. It has yet to kill any fleas.
Not only is Seresto an ugly collar for my princess, it doesn't work... I'm not happy right now.
But this year so far, three ticks have been carried home. We have not changed where we walk/hike. We do not walk in brush, but the dogs have always liked to smell along the edge of brush and woods.
I have told several families about how wonderful this product is, yet this spring I am finding myself very disappointed.
Removed the collar and gave him a thorough bath with Dawn dish soap and he came back to his usual playful self.
Tossed away the collar will never use this product again.
I will not be buying anymore of these expensive collars! Very disappointed.
I had them in no time and my dogs have not had any issues with fleas or ticks since. I love the reflectors as well.
Stella and Chloe. We will be using these from now on. Just don't want to put the pills in their bodies any longer. Love love love Seresto! You won't be diss appointed. So easy to put on and they send a sticker to put on your calendar to remind you to reorder. Brilliant!
