Directions

1. move the collar from its packaging.
2. Unroll the collar and remove the small plastic connectors from inside the collar, ensuring that no remnants remain.
3. Insert the end of the collar through the buckle and loops.
4. Adjust the collar around your dog's neck until it fits comfortably on them.
5. Two fingers should fit beneath the collar and neck to ensure it's not too tight. Any excess length of the collar beyond an inch past the loops should be cut off, unless it is on a growing puppy, where some additional length may be needed for adjustment as the puppy grows.
6. Check periodically and adjust fit if necessary, especially on growing puppies.
7. Seresto^® comes with three optional reflector clips that can be attached to the collar to help keep your dog visible at night. The reflector clips should be evenly distributed on the non-overlapping part of the collar.

How do Seresto® collars for dogs work?

The Seresto^® collar works with a unique polymer matrix of two active ingredients, which spread from the site of direct contact over the skin surface of your dog:

• Imidacloprid has been used in products for years to control flea infestations.
• Flumethrin effectively kills and repels ticks.
• Flumethrin works together with imidacloprid to provide dual action against fleas and ticks. No other product has this combination of ingredients.
