Does Seresto flea collar kill all fleas? Do I need other treatments?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Eskimo Dog | Male | neutered | 3 years and 9 months old | 40 lbs

If I bought my dog a seresto flea collar would every flea that jumps on him die? Could I just get the collar and nothing else? Or does he need the collar and additional flea treatment?

Typically with the seresto flea collar you do not need any other type of flea prevention. It does take about 24 hours for the collar to start to work. If Roscoe had fleas when you applied the collar i would also recommend giving a dawn dish soap bath and treating the environment. hope that helps
