Avoiding Fake Collars
Be aware of fake and imitation collars
As Seresto® has increased in popularity amongst pet owners, it has become a target by fraudsters; looking to cash in on pet owners’ efforts to keep their pet protected from fleas and ticks by selling them fake or imitation collars.
Purchasing a fake or imitation collar will be ineffective against flea and tick protection and will cost you more in the long run.
Your pet’s health and protection are the most important things to us. So, we’ve created this page to help make it easier for you to purchase a genuine Seresto® collar.
Genuine Seresto® flea and tick collars can only be purchased through your local veterinary clinic, pet store or authorised online retailer. Please contact the online retailer directly to verify they distribute within New Zealand. Ask for it by name.
What to look for when buying Seresto®
To be assured you are buying a genuine Seresto® flea and tick collar, ask for the Seresto® gold or original pack at your New Zealand veterinary clinic or pet store. Also available online from authorised retailers, please contact the online retailer directly to verify they distribute within New Zealand.

Some pet owners may be concerned about using a collar due to potential strangulation issues, particularly for cats. Unlike other flea collars, Seresto® for cats and small dogs includes a 2-step safety release system.
