Seresto collar for dogs review
Introduction
The Seresto Flea and Tick Collar for Dogs offers long-acting protection in a wearable format. It suits owners who prefer a “set and forget” style rather than monthly applications. Here is what to know before you choose it.
What it covers
Long-acting on-pet protection against fleas and ticks when used as directed. Check the label for the protection period and replace on time.
Who it suits
-
Owners who want fewer applications across the year
-
Dogs that dislike spot-ons or are tricky with chews
-
Households that like a visible reminder on the dog
How to fit it correctly
Place the collar around the neck and tighten until two fingers fit comfortably between collar and skin. Trim any excess length. Check the fit again after the first day, then often on growing dogs. The collar is water-resistant, but always follow bathing and swimming guidance on the label.
Pros
-
Long acting with no monthly tube or chew
-
Always-on reminder since it is visible
-
Easy for carers or house sitters to see the dog is protected
Considerations
-
Must be fitted correctly and worn continuously
-
Some dogs and owners prefer a chew instead
If you would rather give a chew, consider NexGard Chewables for Dogs for a monthly rhythm or Bravecto Chew for Dogs for longer intervals. If you want fleas, ticks, heartworm prevention and common intestinal worms covered in one monthly chew, Simparica Trio Chewable Tablet for Dogs is a combined option.
Safety checks
Use dog-only products on dogs. Match size, read the insert, and replace on schedule. Remove the collar if skin irritation appears and ask your vet for advice. Keep out of reach of children and pets when not in use.

FAQ
Is the collar enough on its own?
For many dogs, yes, when used correctly. Your vet may advise a chew instead if you prefer oral dosing or need a different schedule.
Can puppies use it?
Check minimum age and weight on the pack. Recheck fit often as puppies grow.
