DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a
manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not contaminate feed or food.
HOW TO APPLY
One collar per animal to be fastened around the neck.
Remove collar from protective bag directly before use. Unroll collar and
make sure that there are 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 (as a
guide, it should be possible to insert 2 fingers between the collar and
the neck). Pull excess collar through the loop(s) and cut off any excess
length extending 1 inch (2 cm) beyond the loop(s).
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.
This collar is designed with a safety-closure 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.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Kills fleas which may cause flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) or flea bite hypersensitivity (FBH).
Seresto kills existing fleas on dogs within 24 hours.
Reinfesting fleas are killed within 2 hours with protection against
further flea infestation lasting eight (8) months. Pre-existing pupae in
the environment may continue to emerge for six (6) weeks or longer
depending upon the climatic conditions. Seresto aids in control of flea
larvae in the dog’s surroundings following contact with a
Seresto-treated dog.
Ticks already on the dog prior to treatment may not be
killed immediately after collar application and may remain attached and
visible. At the time of application remove ticks already on the dog. The
prevention of infestations with new ticks starts within 48 hours after
application of the collar.
Re-infesting ticks are repelled and/or killed as quickly as 6 hours.
Kills lice on dogs for one month.
Aids in the treatment and control of Sarcoptic mange.
Seresto is water-resistant and remains effective
following a shampoo treatment, swimming or after exposure to rain or
sunlight. Under normal conditions, effectiveness lasts for 8 months. In
order to maintain an eight-month duration, dogs must not be bathed more
than once per month. For dogs that swim once a month or more, the
control duration is reduced to 5 months.
Occasionally slight itching may be observed in animals
that are not used to wearing collars in the first few days after
fitting. Ensure that the collar is not fitted too tightly. Slight hair
loss and mild skin reactions due to the mechanical irritation of the
collar may occur at the application site which usually recover within 1
or 2 weeks without the need for collar removal. If you notice any
serious effects or other effects not mentioned in this leaflet, please
inform your veterinarian.
In case of loss of collar, a new collar may be applied immediately.
Do not attach a leash to the collar as this may cause breakage.
Keep the collar in the bag and in the outer packaging until use.
As with any pesticide product, do not allow small children to play with
the collar or reflectors, or to put them into their mouths. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and cold
water after fitting the collar. People with sensitivity reactions to the
ingredients of the collar should avoid contact with the collar. Choking
hazard. Contains small parts. Do not place collar or reflectors in
mouth. Not intended for use on humans.
For external use on dogs only. Do not use on other animals.
Do not use on puppies under seven weeks of age. Do not get this product
in dog’s eyes or mouth. As with any product, consult your veterinarian
before using this product on debilitated, aged, breeding, pregnant, or
nursing animals. Individual sensitivities, while rare, may occur after
using ANY pesticide product for pets. If signs of sensitivity occur,
remove collar and bathe your pet with mild soap and rinse with large
amounts of water. If signs persist, or become more severe, consult a
veterinarian immediately. If your animal is on medication, consult your
veterinarian before using this or any other product. If your dog is
experiencing an adverse event, contact your veterinarian and call
1-800-422-9874.
The Bayer Polymer Matrix System ensures that both active
ingredients are slowly and continuously released in low concentrations
from the collar towards the animal. This avoids peak concentrations and
ensures that concentrations of both active ingredients are present in
the dog’s haircoat during the entire efficacy period. The active
ingredients spread from the site of direct contact over the entire skin
surface.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
