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. Seresto Small Dog flea and tick collars are recommended by veterinarians, stocked by 8,000 vet clinics* and have been trusted* by pet owners for nearly a decade.
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. Fleas and ticks not only cause discomfort; fleas can transmit bartonellosis or tapeworm. Ticks can transmit Borrelia burgdorferi which causes Lyme Disease. Check the product label for information on potential side effects.
Seresto Small Dog flea and tick collars are for dogs at least 7 weeks old, and there’s no prescription needed. They’re odorless, non-greasy and water resistant to swimming, exposure to rain or sunlight, bathing, and shampoo treatment.**

Title: Budget price and worth it.
Review: One of the first things that caught my attention was the price. After comparing prices at several major retailers like Walmart, Target, Petco, and Pet Supplies Plus, I was thrilled to find that the Seresto collar was significantly cheaper. This was a huge win for me, especially since I have three dogs to care for. Finding an effective flea and tick treatment at such an affordable price made a big difference in my budget.But affordability aside, the performance of the Seresto collar is truly impressive. It provided long-lasting protection against fleas and ticks, giving me peace of mind knowing that my dogs were safe from these harmful pests. I no longer have to worry about potential infestations or the health risks associated with flea and tick bites.Another aspect of the Seresto collar that I appreciate is its convenience. Unlike topical treatments that need to be reapplied every month, this collar provides continuous protection for up to eight months. This means fewer trips to the store and less hassle for me, which is always a plus!Furthermore, the collar is water-resistant, so I don't have to worry about it losing its effectiveness after my dogs take a dip in the pool or play in the rain. Its durability and effectiveness make it an excellent choice for busy pet owners like myself.Overall, I highly recommend the Seresto Small Dog Flea & Tick Collar to anyone with multiple dogs or even just one furry friend. Its affordability, effectiveness, and convenience make it a top choice for flea and tick prevention. Thanks to Seresto, my dogs can enjoy the great outdoors without the worry of fleas and ticks tagging along!

Title: Best flea/tick prevention I have used
Review: I have three dogs and two cats. Two bigger dogs and one is small. I have been using Seresto collars for ten+ years. We use to live in a heavily wooded/grassy area and the ticks were plentiful. I never found them on my pets when they wore these. I have also never had any issues with an allergic reaction. It’s a lot to spend up front for multiple pets- but in the long run is worth it because it lasts so long and works well. Let me add I used frontline and K-9 advantage once in the last ten years on my pets to give a break from the collars and kept finding living fleas.

Title: Great product!
Review: I used this on my dog just to see if it works , and it really does . He had no problems with fleas or ticks this year . This will be what I'll be using from now on . The only small issue that I've had is trying to take it off when needed for a bath .

Title: Things have change?
Review: I had both Soresto collar fir my dog fir the first time a year ago and It work great for about 7 mos..so awesome, I decided to buy a new one and put it on my dog immediately. Well my poor dog is scratching and digging all the time. I am curious did soresto change their formula or did I get a knock off? But it is definitely not working.

Title: Delivered fast
Review: We have used this same product on both our AKC Long-Haired Dauchsunds since they were old enough to wear them and I heard about these collars. Neither of my dogs have ever gotten sick nor have gotten fleas, ticks, etc. However, I buy them before the 8 months are up and they start scratching. Plus my husband sprays the yard in their area we have a place just for them that rolls out. This bottle attaches to a water hose and you spray the DRY GRASS IT KILLS FLEAS & MOSQUITO LARVAE don't let them out till it dries completely. That is what we do and we spray all the bushes and under the porches, it works wonderfully I believe it is by CUTTER we do buy a lot from them same as I buy a lot from Amazon but if you have animals try that it works. Try these COLLARS I would rather put a collar on them than put a chemical inside their body, yes it might soak in their skin but nothing like them swolling a pill.PStoneAtlanta Georgia

Title: 0/10 Dangerous product health wise- allergic reactions in every animal we used them on.
Review: Please be cautious of using these collars, we had a terrible expirence.My mom and I both purchased sets of these collars, for dogs and for cats using the appropriate species specific sets, as flea prevention. Both households have dogs and cats. In total we spent close to $150 dollars each and subscribed to auto renew the purchases due to the really great reviews.The first 2 days they seemed to work really well! We found some dead fleas on the dogs after they came in from outside and no living fleas anywhere. Day 3 my moms Labrador began itching himself constantly- mostly around his neck and back. Hes older with some food allergies so we at first thought he got into something (as hes notorious for eating trash and sneaking cat food) and did not connect it to the collar. We kept an eye on him and over night he developed large weeping sores everywhere the collar touched as well dry itchy spots along his back and chest. Those spots later developed into sores and the poor guy was miserable. Knowing he's prone to allergies we removed his collar and bathed him/treated the sores but left the collars on Every one else as they didn't react similarly and chalked it up to being a fluke due to his pre existing allergy problems.That was, however, not the case. Over the next 3 weeks everyone we put a collar on began digging/scratching themselves raw (4 dogs, 7 cats total between both houses). My oldest cat developed large weeping sores everywhere the collar touched and she did not previously have a history of allergies. Ive used collars on her in the past and she never had a reaction. She lost the fur around her neck (as of now about 2ish months later its still not grown back) and had a decreased appetite as well as becoming very lethargic. 2 other cats developed bald spots and sores on their necks where their collars touched while the rest continued to develop bald spots/red and itchy skin.I have two daschunds and at the same time that we discovered the balding/sores on the cats, my male daschund very suddenly developed Hemoragic Gastroenteritis. He previously had a clean bill of health but very suddenly became extremely lethargic, refused food and water, was vomiting and had bloody, jelly like stool. Wednesday night he went to bed fine, ate dinner and was playful. Thursday morning he refused breakfast, and by that afternoon/early evening he wouldn't move, eat, drink and his stool was entirely bright red blood. We removed all collars and rushed him to the emergency vet clinic- closest one being almost 2 hours away from us. He was hospitalized over night and required 3 more back and forth trips and an extensive medication regimen before he was finally on the mend.Speaking to the emergency veterinarian she could not 100% say that the collar caused the condition, as the condition itself is still largely unknown and seems to have many triggers. However she said allergies and allergic reactions have caused or triggered gastroenteritis before. Other causes can be parasitic infections, food allergies/intolerance, infections, certain viruses and exposure to certain chemicals. So while they could not 100% confirm the collar contributed to his health emergency they could not 100% rule it out either. He did not have parasites, any food changes or viruses at the time of his admittance. After a steep 2k vet bill and money for gas back and forth my dog thankfully seemed to make a full recovery and is doing well.My other dog expirenced some thinning fur on her neck but no sores or other health conditions. My moms other dog, a terrier, expirenced very red, painful and inflamed skin. He itched himself relentlessly but thankfully did not develop sores. Although he did seem to have a brief rash along his stomach and legs. This rash resolved shortly after removing his collar and routinely applying dog safe rash cream.In addition to the multiple allergic reactions and possibly related health emergency, the collars did not seem to work after a week. The dogs would come in from a walk or playing outside and we'd find several live fleas on them a piece. We live in an area where fleas have been horrible this year but its like after an initial week of success the fleas were suddenly immune to these collars. If you already have a flea infestation these collars will do nothing for you, they barely worked for prevention purposes alone.Over all, I urge anyone looking into using these collars to either try a different product all together or keep an extremely close eye on your pets and observe for an allergic reaction. I know every pet is different and every pet may have an allergy to a different flea med/preventative because they are essentially bug poison. But for a product meant to be used on animals we had way too many allergic reactions occur one right after the other and something is not right with either the entire product or at least the batch we received. During the time we used the collars we had no other changes happening that could have caused reactions. There were no food changes, all our animals were previously very healthy, only one animal (the Labrador) had a history of allergies and sensitive skin, there were no environmental changes, no new treats, no new shampoos/changes in bathing or anything else we could think of that would contribute to these reactions.In addition, the timing of my dogs sudden health emergency was extremely suspect. I can't with 100% confidence solely blame the collar, but I find it strange that a year old puppy with no parasites or pre existing health concerns or exposure to toxic substances would suddenly, in a matter of days, decline to the point of requiring a hospitalization.My family and I have unsubscribed and will personally not be using this brand of flea control again. It was a miserable, and very expensive, expirence for us and our pets that in the end did absolutely nothing to prevent or kill fleas.Please be very careful if you choose to use this product and monitor your pet very carefully in case they too expirence an allergic reaction or other health condition.
