Description
Seresto® for cats kills and repels fleas and ticks for 8 months in an easy-to-use, odorless, non-greasy collar.
You’ll both appreciate 8 months of continuous flea and tick protection.
Cats are independent by nature, but they still need your help with flea and tick protection. Seresto® for cats is designed to be a convenient way for you to help protect your cat from fleas and ticks that can cause bites.
Our innovative Sustained Release Technology provides protection from fleas and ticks for 8 continuous months in each non-greasy collar. That’s one easy-to-use collar instead of 8 monthly treatments.
Truly unique technology for your cat.
Seresto® is a unique polymer matrix collar that offers a continuous supply of two active ingredients: imidacloprid and flumethrin for effective 8-month protection against fleas and ticks. That’s one convenient, non-greasy, odorless flea and tick collar instead of 8 monthly treatments.
The active ingredients are stored within the collar. They are released in low concentrations and are distributed over the pet’s hair and skin surface for 8 months. As active ingredients wear off over time, the Seresto® flea collar for cats continuously replenishes the skin and hair coat with a new supply of active ingredients. Fleas and ticks are killed through contact with the active ingredients – no biting required.

USEFUL INFORMATION
One collar per animal to be fastened around the neck. Remove collar from bag directly before use. Unroll collar and make sure that there no remnants from the plastic connectors inside the collar.
- Insert end of the collar through the buckle. Adjust the collar around the animal’s neck without tightening it too tight or leaving it too loose.
- As a guide, it should be possible to only insert 2 fingers comfortably between the collar and the neck.
- Pull excess collar thru the loop(s). Collar length of greater that 1 inch (2cm) beyond the loop(s) should be cut off unless it is on a growing puppy, where some additional length may be needed for adjustment as the animal grows.
- After application of the collar, three reflector clips may be fixed permanently to the collar to increase the animal’s visibility in the dark. Take the clips out of the bag. The clips should be evenly distributed on the non-overlapping part of the collar. The clips are correctly applied when a clicking sound is heard. For safety reasons once the reflectors are fixed to the collar the clasp closes permanently and cannot be re-opened.
The collar should be worn continuously for the 8 month protection period. Check periodically and adjust fit if necessary, especially when puppies are rapidly growing. Rarely, mild application site reactions may occur, such as scratching, redmess and hairloss, which usually recover within 1-2 weeks without the need for collar removal. In some cases, temporary collar removal and bathing may be recommended until symptoms have disappeared. In very rare cases, application site reactions, such as dermatitis, inflammation, eczema or lesions may occur. In these instances, immediately. If your animal is on medicaiton, consult your veterinarian before using this or any other product.
This collar is designed with a release mechanism. In the unlikely event of a dog being trapped, the dog’s own strength is sufficient to widen the collar to allow for quick release. Replace the collar after 8 months for optimal tick and flea protection.
