Seresto Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs up 8kg - 8 Month Protection
Seresto Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs & Puppies Up to 8kg – 8 Month Protection
Long-Lasting Flea & Paralysis Tick Protection for Small Dogs and Puppies
Keep your small dog protected against fleas, paralysis ticks and other external parasites with the Seresto Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs and Puppies Up to 8kg.
Developed by Elanco Animal Health, Seresto provides up to 8 months of continuous flea and paralysis tick control in one convenient, odourless and water-resistant collar.
Specially designed for small dogs weighing up to 8kg and puppies from 7 weeks of age, Seresto offers a practical alternative to frequent flea and tick applications.
Its innovative controlled-release technology gradually distributes two active ingredients, imidacloprid and flumethrin, across your dog's skin and coat.
Unlike oral parasite treatments, Seresto works through contact, meaning fleas and ticks do not need to bite your dog to be exposed to the active ingredients.
With an adjustable 38cm collar and long-lasting protection, Seresto is ideal for small breed dogs, puppies and owners looking for convenient parasite control.

8 Months Flea Protection
Fleas can cause itching, skin irritation and discomfort for dogs and puppies.
Seresto provides treatment and prevention of flea infestations for up to 8 months.
Existing fleas are killed within 24 hours of fitting the collar.
The active ingredients are gradually released and distributed across your dog's skin and coat, helping maintain ongoing protection.
Seresto also kills flea larvae in the immediate surroundings of treated dogs, helping reduce environmental flea infestations.
Regular flea protection is particularly important for dogs susceptible to flea allergy dermatitis.
8 Months Paralysis Tick Control
Paralysis ticks are a serious concern for Australian dog owners, particularly in coastal and bushland regions.
Seresto provides up to 8 months of paralysis tick control and up to 4 months of paralysis tick repellency.
This makes it a practical choice for small dogs living in or visiting tick-prone areas.
Important Paralysis Tick Warning
No tick treatment completely eliminates the risk of tick paralysis.
Check your dog daily for ticks, especially after visiting bushland, long grass or coastal areas.
Remove any ticks promptly.
If your dog develops weakness, wobbliness, vomiting, changes in its bark or breathing difficulties, seek emergency veterinary attention immediately.
Brown Dog Tick & Bush Tick Protection
Seresto also provides 4 months of protection against:
- Brown dog ticks ( Rhipicephalus sanguineus )
- Bush ticks ( Haemaphysalis longicornis )
It also reduces transmission of certain diseases carried by brown dog ticks, including canine ehrlichiosis, babesiosis and anaplasmosis, for 4 months.
For continuous protection against these parasites, replace the collar every 4 months.
Innovative Controlled-Release Technology
Seresto uses a specially developed polymer matrix containing two active ingredients.
Imidacloprid helps control fleas.
Flumethrin helps repel and control ticks.
These ingredients are released gradually from the collar and spread through the natural oily layer of the dog's skin and coat.
This allows Seresto to provide long-lasting parasite control without the need for fleas and ticks to bite before exposure.
Active Ingredients
| Active Ingredient | Concentration |
|---|---|
| Imidacloprid | 100mg/g |
| Flumethrin | 45mg/g |
Designed for Small Dogs & Puppies

- Chihuahuas
- Maltese
- Toy Poodles
- Miniature Dachshunds
- Pomeranians
- Yorkshire Terriers

Adjustable 38cm Collar
The Seresto Small Dog Collar measures approximately 38cm in length.
Its adjustable design allows a comfortable fit around your dog's neck.
For growing puppies, leave additional length to allow for future adjustment.
The collar should remain in contact with the dog's skin for effective distribution of the active ingredients.
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 from the inside.
- Place the collar around your dog's neck.
- Thread the loose end through the fastening loops.
- Adjust until approximately two fingers fit comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck.
- Trim excess collar length, leaving approximately 2cm beyond the second loop.
- For growing puppies, leave additional length for adjustment.
- Check the collar regularly to ensure it remains correctly fitted.
The collar should be worn continuously for the required protection period.
When Should the Collar Be Replaced?
Every 8 months: For continuous flea and paralysis tick control.
Every 4 months: For continuous brown dog tick, bush tick and associated tick-borne disease protection.
Record the date the collar is fitted to help you remember when replacement is required.
Water-Resistant & Odourless
Seresto is designed for everyday convenience.
Its water-resistant construction means the collar generally does not need to be removed during occasional swimming or bathing.
For best results:
- Use a soap-free shampoo.
- Towel dry beneath the collar after exposure to water.
- Follow the manufacturer's bathing and swimming recommendations.
- Avoid frequent or prolonged water exposure that may reduce protection duration.
The odourless design is particularly convenient for small indoor dogs that spend time close to their owners.
Suitable for Puppies from 7 Weeks
Seresto is approved for use in puppies from 7 weeks of age.
The adjustable collar can accommodate growing puppies, provided the correct product is selected and the collar is checked regularly.
Puppies should be monitored to ensure the collar does not become too tight as they grow.
Helps Control Flea Allergy Dermatitis
Flea allergy dermatitis is a common cause of itching and skin irritation in dogs.
By controlling fleas, Seresto helps reduce flea exposure and the incidence of flea allergy dermatitis.
Dogs with persistent itching, skin lesions or hair loss should be examined by a veterinarian.
