Seresto vet. (> 8 kg)
ATC code
Species
Dogs (> 8 kg)
Indications
For the treatment (Ctenocephalides felis) and prevention of flea (Ctenocephalides felis, C. canis) infestation for 7 to 8 months.
Protects the animal’s immediate surroundings against flea larvae development for 8 months.
The product can be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD), where this has been previously diagnosed by a veterinary surgeon.
The product has persistent acaricidal (killing) efficacy against tick infestations (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Dermacentor reticulatus) and repellent (antifeeding) 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. If you are unsure how to safely remove ticks from your animal, seek professional advice. The prevention of infestations with new ticks starts within two days after application of the collar.
The product provides indirect protection against the transmission of the pathogens Babesia canis vogeli and Ehrlichia canis from the tick vector Rhipicephalus sanguineus, thereby reducing the risk of canine babesiosis and canine ehrlichiosis for 7 months.
For treatment of biting/chewing lice (Trichodectes canis) infestation.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Cutaneous use. One collar per animal to be fastened around the neck.
Dogs above 8 kg receive one collar of 70 cm length.
Small dogs up to 8 kg body weight receive one collar for dogs ≤ 8 kg of 38 cm length.
For external use only.
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 puppies are rapidly growing.
Adverse reactions
In rare cases mild behavioural disorders that may include scratching at the application site 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.
Mild application site reactions such as pruritus (itchiness), erythema (redness) and hair loss may occur. These have been reported as rare and usually resolve 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 rare cases neurological symptoms as ataxia, convulsions and tremor may occur. In these cases collar removal is recommended.
Also in rare cases in dogs, slight and transient reactions such as depression, change of food intake, salivation, vomiting and diarrhoea might occur initially.
In very rare cases, application site reactions such as dermatitis, inflammation, eczema or lesions may occur and in these instances, collar removal is recommended.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
very common (affects more than 1 animal in 10)
common (affects 1 to 10 animals in 100)
uncommon (affects 1 to 10 animals in 1,000)
rare (affects 1 to 10 animals in 10,000)
very rare (affects less than 1 animals in 10,000)
