My dog has fleas after Pet Armor. Can I use a Seresto collar?

Question

I have a 6 lb Yorkie and put Pet Armor about 4 days ago but it's not working. I bought Soresto collar for small dog. Is it safe to put the collar now or I need to wait. My poor dog still has fleas thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | 6 lbs

To be safe, you should wait 2-3 weeks before switching to a Seresto collar. IN the meantime, treat the environment for fleas. Vacuum everywhere then dispose of the vacuum bag or empty the canister outdoors immediately after. Wash all bedding in the hottest water allowable by fabric. Use an area treatment, such as Indorex or Knockout ES, to kill fleas in the home. A majority of the flea population actually lives off the pet, hopping on to feed then hopping off. Discuss a product to kill adult fleas with your veterinarian. CapStar would be safe to use even if you applied a topical preventive. However, it will only kill adult fleas that are on Tybalt.
