FAQs

Q. Why has the claim for paralysis ticks changed from 4 months to 8 months?

Servo for Dogs previously made the claim that it could control bush ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis), brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus), and paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus) on dogs for four months. Recent research from two additional studies showed that Seresto was highly effective against paralysis ticks on dogs from months four through eight and that this was true over the course of several months. Seresto is currently approved for use on dogs for an eight-month period for paralysis tick control.

Q. Does Seresto eliminate all ticks on dogs for an entire eight months?

The claims to control bush ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis) and brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) on dogs have not changed in 4 months. The claims that tick-borne diseases such babesiosis, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis are also still stand at four months.

Q. Seresto's claims of fleas—have they changed?

Since Seresto controls fleas on dogs and flea larvae in their environment for 8 months, the flea claims have not changed. Seresto now has a new claim that it can effectively manage fleas to prevent an infestation of the flea tapeworm infestation (Dipylidium caninum).

Q. Despite a banner I've seen that reads "8 months," the Seresto tin states "4 months." Will this collar work for eight months?

Yes. The extended claim for paralysis ticks will be highlighted by overstickering existing Seresto stock. Not every stock, though, can be overstickered. Since the Seresto collar has not been altered in any way to obtain the claim extension, all current stock now successfully controls paralysis ticks for a period of eight months. To control brown dog ticks or diseases spread by ticks like ehrlichiosis, the collar should be changed every four months.

Q. How long will the stickers remain on the tins?

The stickers will be used as a temporary measure until new packaging is ready and are a way to let buyers know about the new claim as soon as feasible. Elanco estimates that the revised tins will go on sale in the middle of 2023.
