It's natural to be concerned about the effectiveness of a flea collar after your dog has had a bath. Fortunately, Seresto flea collars are designed to be water-resistant, which makes them a reliable choice for pet parents.
- Seresto collars are water-resistant and can handle occasional exposure to water.
- Drying your dog thoroughly before applying the collar is important.
- Regular exposure to water over time may slightly reduce the collar's effectiveness.
After giving your dog a bath, it's generally safe to put on the Seresto collar once your dog's fur is thoroughly dry. These collars are designed to continue to work even if your dog gets wet. However, try to avoid frequent intense water exposure to maintain optimal effectiveness. If you're ever in doubt, it's always best to reach out to a vet for personalized guidance.
