Seresto Small Dog Vet-Recommended Flea & Tick Treatment & Prevention Collar for Dogs Under 18 lbs. | 8 Months Protection

I’ve been using Seresto collars for my dogs and cats for quite a while now, and honestly, it’s the only brand I trust. These collars really do work—I haven't seen a single flea or tick on any of my pets since we started using them. ​They are incredibly reliable, and while they can last a full eight months, I typically swap them out every seven to eight months. I appreciate that they don't cause any skin irritation for my animals, and they hold up well even if they happen to get wet in the rain. It’s a huge peace of mind knowing they are protected consistently. ​I hope you found my review helpful! 🤗

I have a dog that is unable to tolerate the flea and tick products that go onto his skin or products taken by mouth. My vet recommended Seresto because it is not absorbed into the body, so does not impact their blood or any organs. My 17 year old dog tolerated the seresto collar without an issue. There is no odor like there is with other brands. The vet thought this was a safer alternative than other products, obviously check with yours first if your have a dog with health issues, but for my dog, this is perfect!!! I also found the Seresto help line to be wonderful. You talk to an actual person if you have questions, and someone who actually cares about the health of your pet.

I have used Ceresco collars for several years now. I have always found them effective and easy to use. My dogs always tolerated the collar well. I ordered two collar for my Chihuahua mix and my miniature poodle at the end of March. I received them April 1 and put them on my dogs that day. Yesterday, June 11 I took my dogs to the groomers and discovered the head flea. I couldn’t figure out why they were scratching. So there was either something wrong with these colors or Sreto has gone downhill in quality. Yes, I’m very frustrated because now I gotta figure out something else.

I've had terrible luck with flea and tick collars for my 2 dogs. Never found any that work really well, if at all. I took a chance on 2 collars. I gave the dogs a bath and after, put the collars on. By the next day there was no whining and no scratching from either dog. It's been almost a week now and my dogs are still happy! There's been no skin irritation at all and if these collars have a smell, I haven't noticed it. Highly impressed with these and am curious to see if they are as effective in the long run as advertised. Money well spent and I'm done hunting for flea and tick collars that actually work!

Is awesome !! Cure my dogs and now have a beautiful skin , but last 4 months.

WORKS VERY WELL BUT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. OTHER BRANDS HAVE NOT WORKED AT ALL. WE HAVE 3 DOGS SO 3 COLLARS PER SEASON ADDS UP QUICK. WE ARE LOOKING TO OUR VET TO FIND AN ORAL PREVENTATIVE. IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

It definitely keeps ticks off my dog. I live in a highly infested area and ticks are magnetized to my dogs and family. This thing is absolutely necessary. I've tried Bravecto, and it worked well. However, it's very expensive and only lasts a few months. This was cheaper and lasts the whole tick season. It's a bit rigid and doesn't completely form to my dogs neck. The end comes out of the loop sometimes and sticks out. It stays on, the clasp part works well, it's just a bit annoying to have to keep putting the end back through. At first, my dog really didn't like it. Although, he is very sensitive to wearing anything. I thought maybe it was bothering him in a chemical way, but after some time passed, he seems to have gotten used to it. It has no odor or filmy feel which is nice. I've tried cheap, hardware store flea collars and they are gross. It does fit nicely around his neck and can be cut to shorten the length if needed.

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.
