Introduction to Seresto Small Dog Flea and Tick Collar

Give your dog long-lasting protection against fleas and ticks with a Seresto Small Dog flea and tick collar. Unlike other flea and tick protection, Seresto Small Dog flea and tick collars kill and repel fleas and ticks for eight continuous months. These collars are recommended by veterinarians, stocked by 8,000 vet clinics, and have been trusted by pet owners for nearly a decade.

How Seresto Small Dog Collars Work

Seresto Small Dog collars make your dog’s comfort a priority by killing fleas and ticks on contact, so pests don’t have to bite your dog to die. Existing fleas die within 24 hours after initial application of the collar. After 24 hours, any new fleas on the dog are killed within 2 hours with protection against further flea infestation lasting 8 months. The prevention of infestations with new ticks starts at 48 hours after application of the collar. 48 hours after application, any new ticks are repelled and/or killed in as quickly as 6 hours. Seresto Small Dog collars protect against common pests like deer ticks, American dog ticks, brown dog ticks, and Lone Star ticks; they’re also effective against chewing lice.

Importance of Protection

Fleas and ticks not only cause discomfort; fleas can transmit bartonellosis or tapeworm. Ticks can transmit Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme Disease. It’s essential to check the product label for information on potential side effects.

To ensure authenticity and effectiveness, it’s crucial to purchase Seresto collars from authorized sellers. Fake Seresto collars can be ineffective and put your pet at risk.
