## Description

Give your cat long-lasting protection against fleas and ticks with a Seresto Cat flea and tick collar. Unlike other flea and tick protection, Seresto Cat flea and tick collars kill and repel fleas for eight continuous months. Seresto Cat flea and tick collars are recommended by veterinarians, stocked by 8,000 vet clinics* and trusted by pet owners for nearly a decade. Seresto Cat gets right to work killing existing fleas on cats within 24 hours. Reinfesting fleas are killed within two hours – before they lay eggs – delivering protection against further flea infestation for eight months. Seresto Cat collars make your cat’s comfort a priority by killing on contact, so pests don’t have to bite your cat to die. Seresto Cat collars also kill re-infesting ticks in as quickly as six hours, and they prevent tick infestations within 48 hours of the initial application. Fleas and ticks not only cause discomfort; they can also pose other risks. Consistent use of a Seresto Cat flea and tick prevention collar is important to protect your cat against fleas and ticks that may cause bartonellosis, transmission of tapeworms in cats or Lyme disease. This formula also kills fleas which may cause Flea Allergy Dermatitis and feline infectious anemia. Seresto Cat flea protection collars are effective and lightweight for both indoor and outdoor cats and kittens at least 10 weeks old, and there’s no prescription needed. They’re odorless, non-greasy and water resistant to shampoo treatment, bathing,** swimming or exposure to rain or sunlight. Seresto Cat is a trademark of Elanco or its affiliates. *Elanco Animal Health, data on file **Seresto Cat is water resistant and remains effective following a shampoo treatment, swimming or after exposure to rain or sunlight. Under normal conditions, effectiveness lasts for 8 months. In order to maintain an eight-month duration, cats must not be bathed more than once per month.

Review: Safe - I have a munchkin Persian. She’s very little and this medication worked/is working well for her. I worry about chemicals and harmful irritants for her, but this is safe for her. I noticed a difference in a week after only bathing her once with dawn. No more scratching or fleas. It doesn’t smell, you easily clip it on and cut to the length you need if it’s too long. She hasn’t chewed or messed with it like her actual collar. I don’t think she knows she’s even wearing it. Great quality. The price is worth it don’t opt for the other cheaper products.
Review: What a Good Investment This Was. It Works!! - I have to admit that I was skeptical of this product and the price point. I have a semi-feral cat likes to come inside during the day. He is not totally tame and doesn't like to be messed with a lot. To flea comb him is to risk being bitten (and he doesn't hesitate to bite). He was having a flea issue in the summer. I have had poor results from topical flea medicine in the past, so thought I would try this, because I didn't want a flea infestation in my house. Wow, he stopped scratching and the fleas disappeared from his fur very quickly after getting this product. He hasn't had any skin issues with the collar, his health is robust. If I could turn back time, I wish this would have been available LONG ago, I could have GLADLY used this product on some of my cats and dogs in years gone by.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the price for ONE collar $50?  Am I understanding this correctly?**
A: I can't afford to buy 4 of these so I'm considering the cheaper knock off "Salvo" I really don't want to buy this other brand because I've heard some dogs have bad reaction to the knock off but I seriously don't have $200 for 4 dogs!! We are in FL we always have fleas!! Plus Salvo comes 2 pack so it even got cheaper... should I try this other brand? Or maybe if you are reading this Bayer... you  could make these much more affordable especially since there is competition and not to mention dogs are going to suffer because low income families can't afford your price tag to care for their pets. I know I have 1 or 2 too many dogs but I love them and they get the best of everything that I can afford and believe me I've done my research on everything to get them everything they need for as inexpensive as I can manage to find.

**Q: Has anyone used this collar on tiny runts AND thickly furred 20+lb long-haireds? Is it equally effective for both?**
A: I've got 4 cats wearing this collar:  1 16 lb. Maine Coon, 1 15 lb. dom. short-hair, 1 12 lb. dom. short-hair, and 1 9 lb. long-haired cat.  This is their second set of these collars and they're all indoor-outdoor kitties, plus I live in a heavily wooded area.  No ticks, no fleas whatsoever since they started wearing them and there have been no skin problems or irritation at all on any of them. The collars are made to break if they get caught on something.

**Q: Why is the $54.00 collar in a different can than the $36.00 collar? Is the less expensive one a copycat version and is it safe?**
A: I purchased from an eBay seller and it turned out to be a fake. Good price at $35 when I bought the two I needed. I knew something was wrong right away because they smelled very strong of moth balls. all were sealed, but for the past 3 years, buying mostly from well know companies like Petco and PetRX, I've never smelled anything and they've worked wonderfully! I called the 800# for Seresto, they took all of the info from my cans and determined that they were knock offs. They send me a return authorization form and shipping label and are sending me two new collars for supporting the investigation. I'll never try to go that cheap again. I have to buy collars quicker than they're sending them because of the weather, but they assure me they have a shelf life of 5 years if unopened. It's a far better investment than the topical, which is messy, is hard to put on a cat, and that they lick off of each other which worries me. I love these collars and really appreciate the attention and service that Seresto gave me today. hope this helps. it's the first time for me getting caught up in an internet fraud.

**Q: 2 of my cats lay on top of the comforter and the 3rd one likes to snuggle around my neck under the covers. Is that safe for me? Direct contact to me.**
A: I've been using these on my cats for 6 years and we have problems. Before Seresto my cat with flea allergies was in horrid shape. Now she's flea free.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TO DIE FOR...If you're a flea or tick.
*by M***S on January 21, 2026*

I have purchased this for both dogs and cats for the past 6-7 years. They are a little pricey, up front. But they work for 8 months. They keep my pets free of fleas AND ticks! Other collars don't do this. I purchased one for a lady whose little dog was eat up with fleas. It was bloody where she had scratched and bitten at the fleas. She had spent over $100.00 in collars and shampoos. Nothing worked. Horrified, I purchase this collar for her. In less than 2 weeks she called me. The pup was flea free and the wounds scabbed over and healing nicely! No more scratching and crying! I love these collars...
