Other safety precautions you should take when considering a Seresto flea collar include making sure there are no chemical burns on their skin, observing if they are scratching more than usual after putting on the collar, and regularly checking their skin for irritation or other signs of discomfort. Follow all usage instructions closely, modify as needed according to age, and make sure you read any warnings provided along with using this product to keep your pet safe!<\/p>\n

Bathe your pet first to remove any existing fleas<\/h2>\n

Before applying a Seresto flea collar on your puppy, it is important to bathe him or her first. This helps remove any existing fleas and reduces the risk of re-infestation. It\u2019s a good idea to use an appropriate shampoo made for puppies with sensitive skin, as well as a conditioner.<\/p>\n

After rinsing off the shampoo and conditioner, thoroughly dry the puppy using clean towels. If you have access to one, a blow dryer may be used without any attachments (or with just the low heat setting) on its lowest speed setting. Make sure not to directly direct the hot air onto any area of your pet\u2019s body as this could cause burns!<\/p>\n

Once your puppy is completely dry, then apply the Seresto flea collar according to the product instructions. Make sure that all steps are completed carefully and ensure that your pup can\u2019t get any of it in their mouth or eyes by tucking it out of reach before fastening it securely. By following these steps you can effectively protect your puppy from fleas and enjoy more time together!<\/p>\n
