Seresto Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs Over 8kg - 8 Month Protection
Seresto Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs Over 8kg – 8 Month Protection
Long-Lasting Flea & Paralysis Tick Protection for Medium and Large Dogs
Protect your dog from fleas, paralysis ticks and other common external parasites with the Seresto Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs Over 8kg.
Developed by Elanco Animal Health, Seresto provides up to 8 months of continuous flea and paralysis tick control in one easy-to-use, odourless and water-resistant collar.
Unlike oral flea and tick treatments, Seresto works through contact with your dog's skin and coat. Fleas and ticks do not need to bite your dog to be exposed to the active ingredients.
Featuring innovative controlled-release technology, the collar gradually releases two active ingredients, imidacloprid and flumethrin, helping protect your dog against parasites over an extended period.
Suitable for dogs weighing more than 8kg and puppies from 7 weeks of age, Seresto is a convenient option for Australian dog owners wanting long-lasting protection without monthly applications.

| Paralysis Ticks – Repellency | Up to 4 months |

8 Months Flea Protection
Fleas are a common cause of itching, discomfort and skin irritation in dogs.
Seresto treats and prevents flea infestations for up to 8 months, providing convenient, long-lasting protection.
Existing fleas are killed within 24 hours of collar application.
Once the collar has been worn for 7 days, newly acquired flea infestations are killed within approximately 2 hours.
Seresto also helps interrupt the flea life cycle by killing flea larvae in the immediate surroundings of treated dogs.
This can assist with reducing flea infestations in the home environment when combined with appropriate household flea management.
8 Months Paralysis Tick Control
Paralysis ticks are a serious concern for Australian dog owners, particularly in coastal and bushland regions.
Seresto provides treatment and control of the Australian paralysis tick ( Ixodes holocyclus ) for up to 8 months.
The collar also provides paralysis tick repellency for up to 4 months.
This makes Seresto a practical option for dogs regularly exposed to tick-prone environments.
Important Paralysis Tick Warning
No tick treatment completely eliminates the risk of tick paralysis.
Check your dog daily for ticks, particularly after walking through bushland, long grass or coastal vegetation.
Remove any ticks promptly and seek immediate veterinary attention if your dog shows weakness, wobbliness, vomiting, changes in its bark or breathing difficulties.
Brown Dog Tick & Bush Tick Protection
Seresto also controls:
- Brown dog ticks ( Rhipicephalus sanguineus )
- Bush ticks ( Haemaphysalis longicornis )
Protection against these tick species lasts for 4 months.
Seresto also reduces transmission of certain diseases spread by brown dog ticks, including:
- Canine ehrlichiosis
- Canine babesiosis
- Canine anaplasmosis
These disease-transmission claims apply for 4 months.
Innovative Controlled-Release Technology
Seresto uses a specially developed polymer matrix containing two active ingredients:
Imidacloprid: Helps control fleas.
Flumethrin: Helps control ticks and other susceptible parasites.
The ingredients are gradually released from the collar and spread across the natural oily layer of the dog's skin and coat.
This provides ongoing protection without the need for parasites to bite before being exposed to the treatment.
Active Ingredients
| Active Ingredient | Concentration |
|---|---|
| Imidacloprid | 100mg/g |
| Flumethrin | 45mg/g |
These ingredients work together to provide broad flea and tick control.
Water-Resistant & Odourless
Seresto is designed for everyday convenience.
Its water-resistant construction means the collar generally does not need to be removed for occasional swimming or bathing.
For best results:
- Follow the manufacturer's bathing instructions.
- Use a soap-free shampoo.
- Towel dry beneath the collar after water exposure.
- Avoid frequent or prolonged water exposure that may reduce the duration of effectiveness.
The odourless design makes Seresto a practical choice for dogs living indoors or spending time close to their owners.
Adjustable Collar for Dogs Over 8kg
This Seresto collar is designed for dogs weighing more than 8kg.
Collar Length: Approximately 70cm.
The adjustable design allows the collar to be fitted comfortably around your dog's neck.
It can be worn alongside a normal dog collar, provided the Seresto collar remains in contact with the dog's skin.
Directions for Use
How to Fit the Seresto Collar
- Remove the collar from its protective pouch immediately before use.
- Unroll the collar and remove any plastic connectors attached to the inside edge.
- Place the collar around your dog's neck.
- Thread the loose end through the fastening loops.
- Adjust the collar so that approximately two fingers fit comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck.
- Cut away excess length, leaving approximately 2cm beyond the second fastening loop.
- Check the collar regularly to ensure it remains correctly fitted.
For growing puppies, allow additional length for future adjustment.
The collar should remain in contact with the skin for effective distribution of the active ingredients.
How Often Should the Collar Be Replaced?
Every 8 Months: For continuous flea and paralysis tick control.
Every 4 Months: Where continuous brown dog tick, bush tick and associated tick-borne disease protection is required.
Record the date the collar is fitted so you know when replacement is due.
Suitable for Puppies & Adult Dogs
Seresto can be used on puppies from 7 weeks of age.
This particular collar is designed for dogs weighing more than 8kg.
For dogs weighing 8kg or less, choose the Seresto collar specifically designed for smaller dogs.
Always select the correct product according to your dog's bodyweight.
Helps Control Flea Allergy Dermatitis
Flea allergy dermatitis is a common allergic skin condition in dogs.
Even a small number of flea bites can cause significant itching and irritation in affected animals.
By controlling fleas, Seresto helps reduce flea exposure and may assist in managing flea allergy dermatitis.
Dogs with persistent itching, skin lesions or hair loss should be examined by a veterinarian.
