I use them on my cats and never had a problem. When I bought knock offs of seresto, that's when I had problems. Now I buy them at Walmart. Also, I had a cat that didn't react well to Seresto so I didn't make her wear it.
Lucky, i can believe now if seresto can kill dog also because this is happen to my dog.
My dog 4 years old now, last year i buy seresto on amazon no problem with my dog and this year i buy 2 pack because i wan to save 1 pack for next year.
I put on seresto on my dog 15 days after seresto on my dog, has had five seizures but since removed seresto flea collar hes had none. Right now still have small bumb skin on top hes neck.
These collars have ridden my dogs of their flea infestation without any ill effect on their health, they're good for 8 months ..will buy again.
This collar sells worldwide and from what I understand the cases were in the US in 2016 (?). Apparently they bought counterfeit collars on dubious sites, because they are not cheap.
This collar is often counterfeited. The 2 active ingredients used in Seresto collars are also used in topical flea treatments.
I have two beagles and one mixed breed, each wearing Seresto collars for the past two months with no problems. We made sure to give plenty of neck space and check them weekly. Also, we have no small children to come into contact with the dogs. I applied Frontline Plus and other drops and they did not work and I can’t afford the vet’s prices. I will certainly pay more attention to my dogs’ health. They live inside because we have bears in our area, so I am in almost constant sight of them.
I've been using that caller on Marty for 3 years It's sad that it's happened but it's a risk you take maybe the dog was allergic to something in the collar you know Regardless it's still sad but you just can't say it was the color your dog could have been allergic to something you just didn't know that was in the caller
Agree they're fantastic and good for 8 months ..these collars are worth the money ..glad I bought them and will buy again.
I've been using them on my 2 cats without issue. These collars are often counterfeited, and I have to wonder how many of these problems are a result of fake collars. The 2 active ingredients aren't exclusive to Seresto collars, they're used in topical flea treatments, so why would these issues be exclusive to Seresto collars unless they're fake.
Had this collar on both my chihuahuas bought from Costco and one of my dogs suffered a severe reaction. I wouldn’t say allergic reaction but more like a severe chemical burn where the skin all the way around his neck where that collar had been melted leaving him in tremendous pain it looked like his throat had been slit and he had to stay at the pet hospital overnight and thank god he survived the ordeal but these collars are very dangerous. Too dangerous to risk letting someone’s pet go through that kind of suffering. Shame on you Bayer! No ny dog did not die but if that’s how you’re judging whether your product is safe and successful then you are really horrible people who only cares about making money and if a few pets die along the way oh well.
Put one on Sunday, dog sick and rash by Tuesday. He is still not eating and hardly any energy. DON'T BUY THESE COLLARS!
I saw complaints of this product on Amazon and after reading them I decided not to purchase.. so glad I didn’t.
Buy in person at a pet supply store, don't buy online they're most likely fake knock offs ..Walmart has the lowest price for these collars and best return policy.
I put this collar on my dog. Three months later she has cancer. Huge regret
This is the first year I’ve used a flea collar and I start seeing these reports!!! I took it off my dog immediately! I’ve seen it suggested to use the winkflow waggie collar which I will try. The winkflow collar is essential oil based with essential oils that are not toxic to dogs (some essential oils can be toxic for dogs so do not just use them on dogs). Personally I have also noticed the Wondercide skin tonic spray does a good job repelling as well. I think that combined with the collars will be efficient enough but safe.
The collars work really well in my opinion. Been using them for years for my dog and cats.
I just took mine off my dog her neck is absolutely horrible. Went on Vaca and came home to it being super read and swollen.
So then what do you guys recommend?
My dog seems tired more! He's a Chorkie! Put it on in May. Thinking of taking it off now. The ticks were so bad!!
He’s probably knackered from the fleas and their biting!
Catching up on some well deserved sleep I bet!
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES, do NOT put a flea collar on your dog or cat. Think about it this way, as soon as you do that pesticide is going onto the fur and into the blood and they are constantly breathing it in non stop, it WILL KILL THEM.
I just bought one of thes collars for my 2 year old cat now im scared to put it on him
How do we know this wasn't one of them covids?
Update: still killing pets, epa handed it to fda today “passing the puck”
It must been a slow news day to put this BS into a news article.
Think for yourself is my motto!
my dog is fine been 2 year now
I put this collar on my dog. 3 months later, cancer.
Coincidental - don’t deprive other doggies the relief they get from 8 MONTHS protection from ticks and fleas!
It is torment for them!
Keep your wacko opinions to your uneducated self!
The stuff is poison. Don’t use it!
Can't put them on that tight.
What do you mean, too tight? Are you joking?!
@@KM-zn3lx Man, I heard that dog didn't listen.
No way would I take a chance on this product on my dogs .They stand behind it for profits over the health of the animals so sad.
its not adequate, neither is the studies on human vaccines
they all moan about collers but let govement jab them up with covid shit
Oh come on!
I’ve used seresto collars for both my cats and dog for years.
Vets here in the UK recommend it.
One of my cats is very sensitive to fleas and one flea bite can cause an allergic reaction resulting in a trip to the vets for steroids and antibiotics!
So I’m diligent about flea treatments.
We get allergies so how is a dog or cat any different!
