With people becoming more and more aware of the
diseases and infestations their pets have to
suffer from, they are also more apprised of the
associated treatments available for use these
days. However, the complete knowledge and
administration of the product is still a major
concern because even though there are multiple
effective treatments available for fleas and
ticks especially, their usage is not clear. Be
it topical, oral or collars, people dont have
full knowledge of the product they use which
leads to incorrect administration and loss of
efficacy of the product. So, here we would like
to talk about one of the most popular treatments
pet parents are using to ward of fleas and ticks
but may not be fully aware of the product
Seresto Collar.

What Is a Seresto Collar?
Seresto collar for dog is an innovative gadget
that kills and repels fleas and ticks for up to
eight months. This scientifically developed
collar comes with a breakthrough technology that
allows the pet owner to release the collar in
case of emergency. Also, the product is
odourless and isnt greasy like topical products.

What Is a Seresto Collar?
Seresto collar is infused with two insecticides
flumethrin and imidacloprid that are released in
controlled doses when the collar rubs against the
dogs skin. Both of these products work
synergistically to eliminate fleas, ticks and
other insects that come in contact with the dog.
As the chemicals get transferred inside their
body, they block the neuronal pathway of the
parasite. These chemicals then prevent
acetylcholine that is responsible for signal
transmission between various nerves, thereby
leading to paralysis and death of the insect.

What Makes Seresto Long Lasting?
Serestos slow release mechanism and
water-resistant property help in providing long-
lasting protection to the dog against parasites.
Since the chemicals redistribute themselves
gradually on the skin, the dog wearing the collar
is always protected against critters.

Why Do You Still Find Tick On Your Dog When He
is Wearing the Collar?
Well, the answer is really simple. Seresto collar
works on contact. Only when a tick comes in
contact with the fur or skin of the dog, will it
come in contact with the ingredients as well.
But, within a few hours, as they try to bite the
pet, they ingest the chemical and die. So, you
dont need to worry about infestation to increase
if see a tick crawling on your dog when he is
already wearing the collar.

Is Seresto Safe For Pups?
Yes. Seresto is safe for dogs who are 7 weeks old
or more. Do You Need To Stretch the Collar To
Activate It Just Like Other Collars? No, you are
not required to stretch the collar to activate
it. It automatically releases chemicals and
within 48 hours of its administration, eliminates
all the existing fleas and ticks on a dog. Also,
there is no need to brush the collar against any
part of the dogs body like other collars.

How Often Can Your Dog Swim Or Bathe When
Wearing a Seresto Collar?
Seresto collar is water-resistant and thus
swimming or bathing your pet once a month
doesnt have any negative impact on the efficacy
of the product. Frequent swimming or bathing,
however, does reduce the long-lasting protection
of the collar from 8 months to 5 months.

What Happens If the Collar gets stuck On
Something?
Serestos safety mechanism is quite swift. In an
unlikely situation where the dog gets trapped
with its collar, the collar will automatically
widen itself as the dog will try to pull hard.
The collar will eventually break with another
strong attempt thereby setting the dog free.

Can Seresto Be Worn Alongside Other Collars?
Yes, a dog can wear Seresto collar simultaneously
with another collar because as far as the collar
is in contact with the skin and hair, its
efficacy wont be affected due to the presence
of another collar.

Can You Remove The Collar For A Few Days and
Reapply It?
Removal of Seresto collar is highly discouraged
because it will hamper the mechanism of the
product and wont provide the same level of
protection to your dog as it is otherwise meant
to provide. To conclude, it is important for pet
owners to read the instructions written on the
pack inserts carefully and administer the product
accordingly, so the treatment achieves its full
efficacy. Following the guidelines during the
course of the treatment is also equally
important to make the product work with its full
strength. In case of any confusion, it is
recommended to contact the vet to keep your pet
safe and protected.
