    Q
    is a large collar the same strength as a small dogs collar?
    I needed the collar to be longer my small dogs have thick necks the place that I bought it said they were the same and same price so I bought large so I could trim them. now i'm concerned the medicine strength may be too much for the small dog.

    Seresto Dog Flea and Tick Collar contains the same percentage of active in the sizes, you would just choose the size that best fits your pets neck.  It would not harm your small dog if you use the larger collar.  You would just have to cut more off to fit down to size.

    Q
    Why are their still fleas on my dog after 2 days with Seresto Dog Flea and Tick Collar on?
    It is not effective?
    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. Please take a moment to review our Flea Treatment Guide for more tips and information on eradicating this pest.

    Q
    Why does my dog have fleas after using the Seresto Dog Flea and Tick Collar for three months?
    For the past 3 weeks he has been covered in fleas. I have to bath him in dawn every day but he still has fleas.
    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 as well. Seresto Dog Flea and Tick Collar will help ward off fleas and ticks, but it may not keep a flea from hitch hiking onto the pet in an area that may not have been treated. Be sure you are also treating the areas the pet frequents.

    Q
    My dog has a Seresto collar which expires in June. I found and removed a tick today, getting the whole body snd head out. It appeared dead, but why was it still firmly attached if it was dead? Shouldn't fall off once it dies?
    A

    We would recommend contacting your Vet directly or the manufacturer Bayer for more information. This could be due to the bedding behavior of the tick or the mode of action time frame of the active ingredient. Bayer can be reached at this link HERE.
