You will need to go to the Seresto website. There may be recommendations about bathing or drying times. You may need to remove the collar for a certain amount of time. Certainly you want to avoid any potential interactions, you will need to ingredients of the shampoo handy. Best of luck.

    I would remove the collar before the bath until your dog is dry. In addition, I would consider asking your vet if they consider a Hartz collar to be the safest, most effective flea/tick medication for your pet. I hope this helps!
