Product Information
- Presented as an easy-to-use collar 38cm in length

- Works through Sustained Release Technology - the active ingredients are released continuously from the collar in low concentrations; it then diffuses on the pet’s skin/coat, through the natural skin lipid layer
- Ticks and fleas do not have to bite your cat to be killed – the collar repels and kills ticks and fleas through simple contact
- Water resistant, however, prolonged intense exposure to water or shampooing should be avoided - if shampooing the cat, it is recommended to use a soap-free shampoo
- Should be worn continuously for the full protection period
- Features 2 safety features in case of needing emergency release: a ratchet release mechanism and a manufactured breaking point, which will give way if your pet is trapped or snagged by their collar
- The Seresto collar can be worn alongside your pet’s normal collar – ensure the Seresto collar is not prevented from making direct contact with your cat’s skin/coat
