Seresto Flea & Tick Collar for Small Dogs, Under 18 lbs

We were having issues with our dog picking up fleas and ticks. I bathed him really well before putting this on and haven’t noticed a single one since. I would say very effective. The collar is sturdy and has been on for over a month now with no issues. I haven’t noticed any side effects from it either!I love how adjustable and easy it is to put on as well.

I normally use prescription flea pills for my dogs but I was behind on getting my little boy in for an exam and they wouldn’t sell me one. I needed something to help him until I could get in and get meds. Well turns out I didn’t even need the flea pill after this collar!! Haven’t seen a flea since I put it on him — it works!

Giving 5 stars for now due to it being authentic. I did all the research to define if it is real or not so you don’t have to. These are no longer made by bayer so they will not have a bayer logo. They will not come with deflectors. They will not have bayers address on the tin. The company has been taken over by Elanco. The tin will have raised lettering, the company’s address on back. the lot number is stamped on the back of the tin as well as the bag the collar is in and then it is etched into the collar itself, all 3 of these lot numbers match. I will update on effectiveness after we try it out.

Our chihuahua was miserable. We had tried every over-the-counter and prescription flea medication possible. No matter what, by the second dose or application, the fleas became resistant. When these collars first came out, they were almost twice as expensive, and I was incredibly apprehensive in buying one. However, after spending $600 on a vet bill (changing flea medication, once again, and treating the staph infection my dog and his scratching had caused), I was desperate. I read the reviews and saw that some dogs had bad reaction, so when the collar arrived, I opened the package and let it sit for 24 hours before putting in on my pet, as another customer had suggested (he is only 4 lbs, so I wanted to take every precaution). Not only did he NOT have a reaction, about 2 weeks later, we did NOT have any fleas. It was actually a bit miraculous. When we added another fur-baby to the family, in the form of a rescued pit with only one eye, we bought a Seresto collar (he had battled a serious flea infestation when the ASPCA first acquired him, and I did not want him to suffer through that again). Same procedure--I let it sit exposed to air for at least 24 hours before placing it on him, and viola! My only negative comment, which is not really negative, is that I do not think they last 8 months. I replaced my little one's after about 6 months when I noticed him scratching again, and likewise, our pit began scratching after about 6 months. Still, for the price, 6 months of flea protection is a bargain, and they have dropped a bit in cost in the last two years, anyway. When we purchase new collars in the next month or two (that 6 month mark is approaching, it will be the fourth collar for our little Rex, and third for big Bacon, with almost 2 years of no fleas in our house. I love this product!

We have been battling fleas for about a year. Each animal seems to have a sensitivity to SOMETHING, whether is be a spray, a shampoo, a back of the neck application, i even went with “natural” combinations of essential oils, i even tried diatomaceous earth! (BTW, DE was terrible, just a mess and come to find out, dangerous for the respiratory system). I’ve always hated the idea of flea collars because when i was little, i was told you could not touch the dog if it has a flea collar on. Well, i was at a loss. Nothing was working, even the really expensive back of the neck treatments. The chihuahua was turning into a big hot spot, the poor cat was turning into a scab, and i was finding fleas in my bed and in my childrens hair!!! UNacceptable! I read many reviews on this product. I finally broke down and bought them, i have 2 large cats, 1 medium sized dog and 1 small dog. I put these on them almost a month ago. 2 days and the animals were flea free. It took about 5 days for ALL the fleas in the house to die. ALL OF THEM. They were no longer in the carpet, no longer on the couch, not in or under the beds! Nothing at all on the animals! My heart lifted, but paused as i waited for the allergic reactions i just knew were bound to follow. Nothing. Scabby McCat no longer has scabs, Itchy McHotSpot’s skin is finally no longer red and her fur is growing back, even the cat who i thought was coming to the end of his life (14y/o) has perked up enormously (he HAD to have been anemic). These collars so far are a blessing. Their smell isnt overwhleming and seems to go away, you can still wash the animal with it intact and it continues to do its job. No irritations to animals or people. I cant say enough. The only thing we’re waiting for now is to see how long they continue to work.

The dogs 8 mo flea/tick collar. They arrived in good shape. Thanks.
