Seresto Collar for Small Dogs Up to 18 lbs ( Up to 8 Kg)
Seresto Small Dog flea and tick collar offers long-lasting protection against fleas and ticks for up to 8 months. Recommended by veterinarians and available at 8,000 vet clinics, it has been trusted by pet owners for nearly a decade. This collar requires no prescription and is suitable for dogs at least 7 weeks old. It is odorless, non-greasy, and water-resistant. To maintain the 8-month effectiveness, dogs should not be bathed more than once a month. For dogs that swim frequently, the effectiveness may drop to 5 months for flea control and 7 months for tick control.
Indications
Seresto Small Dog collars provide protection against common pests such as deer ticks, American dog ticks, brown dog ticks, and Lone Star ticks, as well as chewing lice. In addition to causing discomfort, fleas can transmit diseases like bartonellosis and tapeworms, while ticks can carry Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease. This product is suitable for dogs and puppies 7 weeks of age and older, weighing up to 18 lbs ( up to 8 kg).
Possible Side Effects
The most frequently reported adverse event associated with the Seresto collar is itching. If any signs persist or worsen within a few days of application, consult a veterinarian immediately.
Precautions
The Seresto collar is not suitable for puppies under seven weeks old. If your pet has ticks when the collar is put on, those ticks won’t die in the first forty-eight hours and should be removed manually. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after applying the collar. Individuals who are sensitive to the collar’s ingredients (like Flumethrin, Imidacloprid, and others) should avoid direct contact. The safety of this product has not been established during pregnancy and lactation.
