    Q
    How long should I wait after removing the Seresto collar before applying a different flea/tick treatment?
    Our doggy daycare does not allow flea/tick collars, and requires that we use ointment or oral treatment. Our dog has worn the collar for about 4 months. How long after removing it is it safe to switch?

    Q
    How long does the chemicals from the Seresto collar stay in my dog's system, after taking it off?
    My Great Dane has epilepsy and is very touchy when it comes to flea and tick prevention. I took it off, because he had been seizure free until he started wearing the collar. I want to know how long the product stays in his system.
    A
    The Seresto Dog Flea and Tick Collar is only releasing the active when it is on the dog.  Once removed this stops and should be gone within a few days though you can bath your dog with warm water and soap to remove quicker.

    If your dog is experiencing an adverse event, contact your vet and call 1-800-422-9874

    Q
    Why does my dog have fleas on him after wearing a Seresto Dog Flea and Tick Collar for several months?
    My dog has wore the collar almost 4 months now, I have never had a problem with it until now I have started Noticing several fleas on him and I don't know what's wrong
    A

    Even though the Seresto Dog Flea and Tick Collar continues to work for 8 months, it is not a complete repellent during that time. Fleas and ticks will still need to bite to consume the active ingredient, so it can take several hours for them to die. Be sure that you are still checking outdoors and treating as needed so that the dog is not bringing fleas and ticks indoors. You can also use an additional repellent on the animal if needed for long walks outdoors or in areas that you cannot treat. We have more tips in our Flea Treatment Guide here as well.

  • Asked by Christie from Jesup

    Q
    My dog is itching after only 5 months. Should I replace the Seresto Dog Collar?
    A

    The Seresto Dog Flea and Tick Collar will last 8 months. While the collar is designed to kill any fleas or ticks that get on and feed on the pet, it will not put a bubble on the pet and keep any insect from being able to still jump on. If the pet is itching, are you seeing signs of live fleas on the pet? Itching can be caused by many factors so if you are not seeing any fleas on the dog,the collar should still be working.

    There should be no reduction of benefits if you’re using a Seresto Dog Flea and Tick Collar that may have a small rip in it.  Just keep in mind that the rip may continue to get larger over time until the collar breaks and falls off.
