4. INDICATION(S)
Cats:
For the treatment and prevention of flea (Ctenocephalides felis) infestation for 7 to 8 months. Efficacy against fleas starts immediately after application of the collar.
Protects the animal’s immediate surroundings against flea larvae development for 10 weeks.
Seresto can be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD).
The product has persistent acaricidal (killing) (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus turanicus) and repellent (anti-feeding) efficacy against tick infestations (Ixodes ricinus) for 8 months. It is effective against larvae, nymphs and adult ticks.
Ticks already on the cat prior to treatment may not be killed within 48 hours after collar application and may remain attached and visible. Therefore removal of ticks already on the cat at the time of application is recommended. The prevention of infestations with new ticks starts within two days after application of the collar.
Ideally, the collar should be applied before the beginning of the flea or tick season.
Dogs:
For the treatment and prevention of flea (Ctenocephalides felis) infestation for 7 to 8 months. Efficacy against fleas starts immediately after application of the collar.
Protects the animal’s immediate surroundings against flea larvae development for 8 months.
Seresto can be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD).
The product has persistent acaricidal (killing) efficacy against tick infestations (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Dermacentor reticulatus) and repellent (anti-feeding) efficacy against tick infestations (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus) for 8 months. It is effective against larvae, nymphs and adult ticks.
Ticks already on the dog prior to treatment may not be killed within 48 hours after collar application and may remain attached and visible. Therefore removal of ticks already on the dog at the time of application is recommended. The prevention of infestations with new ticks starts within two days after application of the collar.
For treatment of biting/chewing lice (Trichodectes canis) infestation.
Ideally, the collar should be applied before the beginning of the flea or tick season.
5. CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not treat kittens less than 10 weeks and puppies less than 7 weeks of age.
Do not use in case of known hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients.
6. ADVERSE REACTIONS
Occasionally slight pruritus and/or erythema may be observed in animals that are not used to wearing collars on the first few days after fitting. Ensure that the collar is not fitted too tightly.
Slight hair loss and mild skin reactions may occur at the application site, which usually recover within 1 to 2 weeks without the need for collar removal. In single cases, a temporary collar removal may be recommended until the symptoms have disappeared.
In cats, initially, slight and transient reactions as depression, change of food intake, salivation, vomiting and diarrhoea might occur in rare cases. As in other topical applications, allergic contact dermatitis might occur in hypersensitive animals.
If you notice any serious effects or other effects not mentioned in this leaflet, please inform your veterinary surgeon.
7. TARGET SPECIES
Cats, Dogs (≤ 8 kg)
8. DOSAGE FOR EACH SPECIES, ROUTE(S) AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Cats and small dogs up to 8 kg body weight receive one collar of 38 cm length.
Dogs above 8 kg receive one Seresto collar for dogs > 8 kg of 70 cm length.
Cutaneous use. One collar per animal to be fastened around the neck. For external use only.
9. ADVICE ON CORRECT ADMINISTRATION
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. 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 and cut off any excess length extending beyond 2 cm.
The collar should be worn continuously for the 8 month protection period and should be removed after the treatment period. Check periodically and adjust fit if necessary, especially when kittens/puppies are rapidly growing.
This collar is designed with a safety-closure mechanism. In the unlikely event of a cat being trapped, the cats own strength is sufficient to widen the collar to allow for quick release.
10. WITHDRAWAL PERIOD
Not applicable.
11. SPECIAL STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
This veterinary medicinal product does not require any special storage conditions.
Do not use after expiry date stated on the bag and outer box.
12. SPECIAL WARNING(S)
Ticks will be killed and fall off the host within 24 to 48 hours after infestation without having had a blood meal, as a rule. An attachment of single ticks after treatment cannot be excluded. For this reason, a transmission of infectious diseases by ticks cannot be completely excluded if conditions are unfavourable.
As in all longterm topical products, periods of excessive seasonal hair shedding may lead to transient slight reduction of efficacy by loss of hair-bound portions of the active ingredients. Replenishment from the collar starts immediately so that full efficacy will be re-established without any additional treatment or collar replacement.
For optimum control of flea problems in heavily infested households it may be necessary to treat the environment with a suitable insecticide.
The product is water resistant; it remains effective f if the animal becomes wet. However, prolonged, intense exposure to water or extensive shampooing should be avoided as the duration of activity may be reduced. Studies show that monthly shampooing or water immersion does not significantly shorten the 8 months efficacy duration for ticks after redistribution of the active substances in the coat whereas the product’s flea efficacy gradually decreased, starting in the 5th month.
Laboratory studies with either flumethrin or imidacloprid in rats and rabbits have not produced any effects on fertility or reproduction and showed no teratogenic, or foetotoxic effects. However, the safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established in target animals during pregnancy and lactation and in the absence of available data, the product is therefore not recommended in pregnant and lactating bitches or queens.
Due to the nature of the collar overdosage is unlikely and signs of overdosage are not to be expected.
An overdosage of 5 collars around the neck was investigated in adult cats and dogs for an 8 months period and in 10 week old kittens and 7 week old puppies for a 6 months period and no other adverse effects were observed than already described in section “adverse reactions”.
In the unlikely event of the animal eating the collar mild gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. loose stool) may occur.
Special precautions for persons administering Seresto to animals:
Keep the bag with the collar in the outer packaging until use.
As with any veterinary medicinal product, do not allow small children to play with the collar, or to put it into their mouths. Pets wearing the collar should not be allowed to sleep in the same bed as their owners, especially children.
People with known sensitivity to the ingredients of the collar should avoid contact with the collar.
Immediately dispose of any remnants or cut-offs of the collar (see section “advice on correct administration”).
Wash hands with cold water after fitting the collar.
13. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR THE DISPOSAL OF UNUSED PRODUCT OR WASTE MATERIALS, IF ANY
Any unused veterinary medicinal product or waste materials derived from such veterinary medicinal products should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
This product should not enter water courses as it may be dangerous for fish and other aquatic organisms.
14. DATE ON WHICH THE PACKAGE LEAFLET WAS LAST APPROVED
15. OTHER INFORMATION
Pack size: one collar
Both active ingredients are slowly and continuously released in low concentrations from the polymer matrix system of the collar towards the animal. Both actives are present in the cat’s or dog’s haircoat in acaricidal/insecticidal concentrations during the entire efficacy period. The active substances spread from the site of direct contact over the entire skin surface. Target animal overdose and serum kinetic studies have established that imidacloprid reached the systemic circulation transiently while flumethrin was mostly not measurable. Oral absorption of both active substances is not relevant for the clinical efficacy.
Activity against fleas starts immediately after application of the collar. In addition to the indications listed above an activity against Ctenocephalides canis and Pulex irritans fleas has been demonstrated.
The product provides repellent (anti-feeding) activity against the claimed ticks, thus preventing repelled parasites from taking a blood meal and thereby indirectly aids in the reduction of the risk of Vector-Borne Disease transmission. In addition to the indications listed above activity has been demonstrated in cats against Ixodes hexagonus and the non-European tick species Amblyomma americanum as well as in dogs against I. hexagonus I. scapularis and the non-European tick species Dermacentor variabilis and the Australian paralysis tick I. holocyclus.
The collars were able to improve the Sarcoptes scabiei infestation in pre-infested dogs leading to a full cure after three months.
Einfache Handhabung,gute Wirkung
Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Seresto- Bändern. Trotz sehr hoher Zeckenanzahl haben unsere Hunde nur vereinzelt Zecken gehabt. Die Anwendung ist super einfach, die Hunde vertragen es super und mit ganz gelegentlich einer Zecke kann ich gut leben. Alles gut!!!
Seresto ist bisher das beste Halsband
Meine beiden mittelgroßen Hunde tragen Seresto bereits 3 Jahre und hatten in der Zeit nur 2 Zecken und niemals Flöhe oder sonstiges. Also für mich ist Seresto das beste was es im Moment auf dem Markt gibt.
Hond Byzoeke, boomer, 1jaar oud en 8Kg
Voor mij krijgt dit product een dikke 10. Gebruik het nu het 2de jaar bij mijn hond en mijn vorige hond droeg het ook bijna altijd een heel jaar door. Heb al veel andere producten in het verleden geprobeerd maar met weinig positief resultaat.
Er zou nog een tussenmaat moeten bestaan voor een middelmatige hond.
Seresto
Super Artikel hatten seit ca. 1/2Jahr keine Zecken mehr
Brilliant easy to wear does what it says on the box
Have used these for 2 summers now and the dogs have been flee and tick free, even though they run in the long grass etc. They come off for dog baths and go back on easily. Brilliant collars easy to use.
Stabiles Halsband das Nassbestaendig ist
Das Halsband wirkt und funktioniert ueber mehrere Monate auch bei aktiven Schwimmern. Haben allerdings 2 Zecken nach etwa 3 Monaten bereits tot aus der Haut entfernt…
Gute Entscheidung
zum ersten Mal hatten im letzten Jahr weder Hund noch Katze Floh- oder Zeckenbefall. Nach allen möglichen Bändern und Pulvern und Spot-Ons, die wenig oder garnicht geholfen haben. Das Seresto-Halsband wirkte den ganzen Sommer über ohne erkennbare Nebenwirkungen. Ich wiederhole es in diesem Jahr und hoffe wiederum auf wirksamen Schutz der Tiere.
sehr gut
unsere Hündin hat es den Sommer über getragen und hatte seit dem nicht eine Zecke im Fell gehabt.
Zeer goed
Heel effectief , mijn drie honden krijgen er eentje om de 8 tal maanden, de halsbanden zijn hun prijs waard !
Mijn buitenhuiskat was de hare na 3 dagen al kwijt, maar die kruipt overal in en op bij het jagen ‘ s nachts .

Hond Boy, 6 jaar, Weimaraner, 32 kg
• Ik geef het product Seresto een 10 (schaal 1-10).
• De effectiviteit en veiligheid staan bij ons op nummer 1, omdat de hond epileptische aanvallen gehad heeft en we hadden geen idee hoe dit zou gaan, gelukkig is het uitstekend.
• Ik zou Seresto nogmaals kopen voor mijn hond.
• Ik zou het product aanraden aan bevriende hondeneigenaren.
• We zijn erg tevreden, maar waren de band kwijtgeraakt, terwijl de hond door de struiken raasde is hij waarschijnlijk ergens achter vast blijven zitten, dat is alleen maar goed, de band is terug gevonden, we hebben hem vervolgens weer om gedaan, vanaf dat moment moesten we wel vaker controleren of het nog goed zat, want de band zat steeds weer ruimer om de nek, misschien met nog een extra lusje, dat het laatste stuk bij de band houd, te verhelpen?

Tiptop
Schützt zuverlässig vor Flöhe und Zecken. Unsere Pudeldame wiegt 8.5 kg und wir verwenden das Seresto Halsband in Grösse S. Da wir auch häufig baden gehen, müssen wir das Halsband ca. alle 3 bis 4 Monate wechseln, was aber durchaus o.k. ist. Keine Nebenwirkungen erkennbar.
Very easy to use, the dogs like to wear it
Have used it for more years
Buen producto
Llevo años usando esta marca de collar y sin lugar a dudas es el mejor, dura 8 meses y es el que mejor protege a mis perros
Buen collar
Es un collar que mi perro usa desde pequeñito y ahora que es adulto seguimos usandolo ya le va muy bien, tienes 8 meses de protección y no necesitas nada más.
El pedido me ha llegado muy bien
Recomendado por mi veterinaria.
He utilizado un collar 7 meses con un perro en constante contacto con la naturaleza y ha funcionado perfectamente.
Excellent
It is the only collar that we use since we brought our dog (25+ kg) at home. We use it all year round (we change it every 6-8 months) as we don’t want to burden her stomach with pills.
Seresto
Easy to wear, quick posting, good price – i’m very pleased????
Mal
No ayuda totalmente. El letrero se asegura incluso debajo del collar.

Uitval achter pootjes
Na 6 weken kreeg mijn hondje plots uitval van de achterpootjes , onmiddelijk verwijderd !
Tegen vlooien werkte het overigens wel prima
Sehr zufrieden!
Ich bin seit Jahren sehr zufrieden mit den Seresto-Halsbändern. Mein Hund verträgt sie gut. Sie sind etwas teuer, aber ihr Geld wert.
