🐾 Protect Your Pet: Make Sure Your Seresto® Collar Is Genuine

Seresto® collars help protect your pet from fleas and ticks. Unfortunately, **counterfeit Seresto collars are being sold online**, and fake products may not work properly or could even be harmful to your pet.

Look for these new security features:

**🔎 1. Check the QR Code**
Look for the **Trustseal® sticker** on the back of the package. It has a unique QR code that you can scan to help verify that your collar is genuine.

**✨ 2. Look at the Security Seal**
The packaging has special security features that become visible when you **tilt the package in the light**.

**🐕 3. Check the Collar**
A genuine Seresto® collar now has an **embossed Seresto® logo directly on the collar**.

Why does this matter?

Counterfeit collars may contain the wrong ingredients, may not provide effective flea and tick protection, and could potentially be unsafe for your pet.

# # # Our recommendation

**Purchase your Seresto® collar from your veterinary hospital or another trusted source.** Be especially cautious when purchasing from online marketplaces or unfamiliar sellers.

If you are unsure whether your Seresto® collar is genuine, **ask our team—we're happy to help!**

**Your pet's safety comes first. ❤️**
