Warnings and precautions: As with all long-acting topical products, seasonal shedding may lead to a transient, minor reduction in efficacy due to loss of active substance bound in the coat.

Pets wearing the collar should not be allowed to sleep with their owners, especially children. Imidacloprid and flumethrin are continuously released from the collar to the skin and fur as long as the collar is worn. The collar may trigger hypersensitivity reactions in certain people.
