Seresto Flea Collar For Dogs Over 8kg

The Seresto Flea Collar for Dogs Over 8kg is a great choice, especially for dogs with sensitive skin or flea-related allergies. It provides long-lasting protection (up to 8 months) and works to repel and kill fleas and ticks before they can bite, which should definitely help reduce Ernie’s irritation and allergic reactions.
Please make sure the collar fits snugly — you should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and his neck — and remember to check the fit regularly, especially if he's still growing or losing weight.

To ensure your dog's safety and the effectiveness of the Seresto collar:

• Keep the collar on your dog at all times, including during sleep.

• Avoid allowing your dog to sleep in your bed, especially if you have children, to minimize exposure to the active ingredients.

• If you or a family member have allergies to the collar's ingredients, avoid contact with the product.

By following these guidelines, you can help ensure the safety and well-being of both your dog and your family.

The datasheet states the following:
Laboratory studies with either flumethrin or imidacloprid in rats and rabbits have not produced any effects on fertility or reproduction and showed no teratogenic or foetotoxic effects. However, the safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established in target animals during pregnancy and lactation and in the absence of available data, the product is therefore not recommended in pregnant and lactating bitches or queens.

This means it should not be used in pregnancy or lactation, so you are right to remove your pregnant bitch's collar. The collar will transfer ingredients by prolonged direct contact with the skin. If your dog will spend a few hours or more consistently in contact with a collar then the ingredients may transfer over. It is hard to say for definite whether your dog's sleeping next to each other will be an issue, it may be safest to separate them at night just to be safe.
If your pregnant bitch will not be in skin contact with a collar when lying with her housemates then this should not be an issue. The ingredients cannot transfer from the skin of a dog with a collar on it, it must be from skin contact with the collar itself.

This product is licensed to protect against fleas and ticks. Leishmania is a tick-borne disease and so it will provide some protection against this by killing ticks. Heartworm is transferred by mosquito bites which Seresto does not specifically protect against. It is recommended to use a Scalibor Collar instead if you are wanting to protect against these two diseases specifically.
If you wish to treat for heartworm then you will need to contact your vet for advice on heartworm products.

This depends on the weight of your Rottweiler, if over 8kg and 7 weeks of age then this collar is a great choice.
