Seresto Collar for Large Dogs over 8 kg against Ticks and Fleas, kills and repels for up to 8 months

Seresto collar for large dogs over 8 kg against ticks and fleas, kills and repels for up to 8 months

An infestation of fleas and ticks is not only annoying, but it can also have health consequences for dogs. A flea bite can lead to severe itching, redness, and even allergies, known as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). Dangerous pathogens can be transmitted to the dog through a tick bite. Seresto contains two active ingredients: Imidacloprid kills adult fleas and their larvae upon contact with the treated animal. Flumethrin repels and kills ticks.

No other flea or tick treatment combines these two active ingredients. These two active ingredients work together in tick treatments. The Seresto tick collar repels and kills ticks and kills fleas – simply by contact with the dog's skin and coat. This means that ticks generally do not need to bite your dog to be effectively killed. This indirectly reduces the risk of transmitting certain pathogens through tick bites. Another advantage of Seresto: it reduces the dog's risk of leishmaniasis infection. The pathogen of leishmaniasis, Leishmania infantum, is transmitted by sand flies. This makes it expressly suitable for protection when traveling.

The special feature of the Seresto collar is that it releases its active ingredients in controlled, low, but effective amounts. This protects your dog against fleas and ticks for up to 8 months. The active ingredient remains in the natural lipid layer of the skin and coat. The collar is odorless and also water-resistant, so a walk in the rain does not have any adverse effects on the collar's effectiveness*.

The advantages of the Seresto collar:

• Duration of action up to 8 months, without monthly re-treatments
