Dog Dies From Seresto Collar For Sale (2024 Update)

For YEARS I recommended these to everyone and anyone within ear shot. We breed, raise, train poodles and Bernese mountain dogs. These dogs can be anywhere from 1000-5000 a piece however the pain my family is feeling from this completely avoidable losses no amount can fix. We have not lost just one family member but seven senselessly. It wasn’t till a vet tech advised me in line at our Petco not to buy this product that this was what was making dogs sick! Our puppies and adults all dogs all wore these and experienced vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, spontaneous abortions, chemical burns and the worst death. My family’s heart is broken, it was to the to the point that we were drowning our pets medical bills. Trying to save everyone one else who were originally misdiagnosed because this company FAILED to inform their customers! Shame on you Seresto!Brooke Dent

The pets in our house receive love in frequent Caresses', Brushings, Gardens for play and Special beds for sleep. Above ALL, they receive New Seresto Collars on Valentine's day each year ! Thus, they are protected throughout the year from those nasty ticks and fleas that would love to snuggle into their fur and pester the cats and dogs all season. Stopping our capture /neuter/release program of 35 years, didn't leave us free of cats. We three ranch wives found ourselves still with cats, after the "DUMPING" ceased. And, praying we outlive them ! We were fortunate in finding homes along the way, for kittens and adult cats that were eager to have forever homes. But, unfortunately, there are always the few that pass the "cute-adopt me" stage. Our ranch is currently "BLESSED" with 9, yes NINE varied aged, varied breed CATS – All of whom are loved dearly by all who share their lives. Along with 2 small dogs, expenses would be great if not for PET MEDS ! SERESTO cat & dog purchases are our most important ! With SORESTO, we have never had an infestation of fleas. With the collars they are free to roam our gardens and acreage in comfort. The collars are VERY IMPORTANT to us and the pets lives. We don't need to round up the population for monthly treatments- have no worry a treatment has worn or washed away. Collars can be removed and replaced for bathing and grooming.

Oversight Subcommittee Report Reveals EPA Failed to Protect Pets, Owners From Dangerous Flea and Tick Collar
Jun 15, 2022 Press Release
Washington, D.C. (June 15, 2022)—Today, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, released a staff report entitled “Seresto Flea and Tick Collars: Examining Why a Product Linked to More than 2,500 Pet Deaths Remains on the Market,” which details the findings of the Subcommittee’s 16-month investigation into the safety of the Seresto flea and tick collar. The report reveals that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under previous administrations was aware of the dangers of the Seresto collar as early as 2015 and failed to take action to protect pets and their owners. Scientific experts, a former EPA official, and pet owners will testify about the dangers of the Seresto collar and the findings of the Subcommittee’s report at a hearing this afternoon.

“It is unacceptable that the EPA has been aware of the Seresto collar’s safety concerns for years and has continued to allow Americans to unknowingly put their pets in danger by using a product they have been led to believe is safe,” said Chairman Krishnamoorthi. “While I am pleased by the EPA’s new commitment to revisit the incident data, I urge the agency to initiate formal Notice of Intent to Cancel proceedings to determine whether the Seresto collar should be removed from the market, including a comprehensive cost-benefit review of its serious risks. Following the Subcommittee’s disturbing findings, I believe the EPA must expand its data collection standards and more strictly follow its scientific review process to ensure that dangerous products are not permitted to stay on the market and threaten the welfare of pets that so many Americans view as family.”

The Seresto flea and tick collar received EPA approval in 2012 and was introduced to the market in 2013. Since then, Bayer—the original brand owner of the collar—and Elanco—which purchased the product in 2020, have sold more than 30 million collars. Pet owners embraced the convenience of the product, which provides 8 months of flea and tick protection for dogs and cats for under $70, and which is widely sold by pet specialty stores, online pet pharmacies, and large online retailers.

The Subcommittee launched its investigation into the collars in March 2021, following the publication of an investigative report which revealed that, as of June 2020, there had been more than 75,000 incidents and approximately 1,700 pet deaths linked to the Seresto collar. Since then, the reported numbers have increased to more than 98,000 incidents and 2,500 pet deaths.

The Subcommittee reviewed emails from the EPA, as well as documents from Bayer and Elanco, that showed the EPA was aware of these incident numbers and the dangers caused by the collar yet failed to act. Documents and communications obtained by the Subcommittee reveal:

EPA Rushed Seresto’s Approval Through a Flawed Scientific Review Process: An EPA Risk Manager wrote in 2016 that the agency “rushed” the Seresto collar’s registration so that the CDC could use the collars in a study. The California Department of Pesticide Regulation found that key studies that tested the Seresto collar on adult dogs and cats were not acceptable because the studies “greatly under-estimated the exposures” to one of the collar’s active ingredients.

We've used Seresto collars for over ten years with great results. Never once a single flea or tick and they do last eight months as advertised. These collars are worth their weight in gold and we wouldn't trust any other product. Tractor Supply makes ordering easy and quick and their prices are the best!mike44nh

The only flea and tick treatment I use! Works great! In the past I've used the drops of flea liquid between the shoulder blades but it never seemed to work. With Lyme disease from ticks being so common, I need to protect my dogs everyday from ticks.2Crazy Dog Lady

Seresto is for flea and tick protection. It works!! I have been using them for about 5 years or so now. Since my dog's groomer told me about it. I have not seen a flea or tick since. Since it is a collar there is less danger than drops between the shoulder blades. So easy to miss the exact location. Very highly recommend this product.Gabby15

the best flea collar there is at a price that is amazing. have tried many others but none work as well or as long.it arrived on time in perfect new sealed can. just get this one your dog will thank youdafidd81

In our family, we have previously only used these for our dogs and they work amazingly well so we tried one for our cat and the results were better than we expected. Her whole attitude changed – she is more relaxed and playful. No more irritated scratching and licking. Within three days she was stretched out on the floor and comfortable. This is how it should be. With no lapse of time in between the monthly dosing as in regular topical flea medicines, the collar makes it easy to use, no mess, and more effective. I recommend Seresto collar to anyone who has pets, It is well worth the money. Ebay is the best price I have found for them.possumuhbilities

Look no further here's the BEST protection for your dogs, against bugs that can hurt us humans too. Been using this fab necklace for decades. Nothing comparable so don't think twice and you have one worry less!btlily

This flea/tick collar is a great economical product for controlling fleas and ticks. If your dog does get ticks they die on the animal and you can remove them knowing they didn't feed very long. The price is good and its supposed to last about 8 months, I usually change them at 6 because my dogs are outside mostly and highly athletic (getting wet) and figure their efficiency is probably compromised by t hat somewhat. Still a good price for what they do. As long as the parasites don't get resistant.janice s

I really love this product. I have tried many shampoos, sprays, and pour on flea control medications. None of them worked for more than a week. My poor dog would go outside and come in covered with fleas. He could not sleep due to itching and scratching. With the soresto collar, he has not scratched for 8 months. He is much happier and content due to no fleas. I am happy due to no fleas in my house or on my dog. I am getting ready to purchase another one for him. Definitely worth the money and happiness!Peg

Not a fan of chemical use, on us humans or our beloved furbabes. Resorted to the use of these collars for our cats and dogs, knowing full well of the fact that there are chemicals, sadly. But, keeping them free of the bugs, (us as well, as a result), has been great for four seasons now. Valley Vet Supply has been superior with all of our orders. Prices are not comparable, but indeed lower. And anytime I need to verbally speak with a representative, I am always delighted with the quick, genuine help and ease. And the fact that the individuals truly represent this company well. Thank you Valley Vet for being a company of lost days!LISS

My German Shepherd pup Ellie is sporting her new protection! The collar seems to be very comfortable and sits right above her normal collar. It was easy to put it on and I love that this is a 2-pack, offering a full year of protection since each collar is good for 6 months. The reflective coating is a nice touch, glowing in the dark with only the slightest bit of light needed. We live way out in the rural country with lots of woods and tall grasses for the buggers to hide out, so it’ll be good knowing that I can rest easy while Ellie is romping around. I had a flea infestation once and it was a nightmare! Update: After a week of use, it is clear that this collar does not prevent ticks from attaching. I have found several ticks on Ellie daily since I put the collar on her, embedded and not dead. I cannot speak as to the efficiency of the collar's protection against fleas yet, but I haven't seen any on her so perhaps that part works. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.maybemarina

I live in an area where fleas don't thrive, but my dog gets ticks pretty regularly each summer. I have used topical flea and tick medication in the past, but the dog always flinched when I applied it so I wanted an easier solution. This flea and tick collar is an easy no-fuss solution that does not upset my dog and claims to work for up to 6 months for each collar. As there are 2 collars in the package, they will get me through 2 flea and tick seasons easily. It also claims to repel mosquitos, which is an added bonus. I have only had the collar on my dog for a few days now, so too soon to tell if it is working, but also no sign of ticks so far. The product itself is easy to use, and comes packaged in a sturdy metal tin. The collars do not have a strong chemical smell, they seem to just smell like rubber. There is no oily residue on the collar, just a dry white powdery residue. I did not feel like I was getting exposed to harsh chemicals when handling the collar. To unroll the collar you do have to snap a few little plastic connectors, and remove any remnants of the connectors inside the collar. To put the collar on your dog you simply slide one end of the collar through the buckle and adjust to fit, similar to a belt. You do have to pull a little to get the collar through the buckle, and my dog was a little suspicious when I was fussing around with it. The collar is "one size fits all", so if you have a smaller dog like mine, you will need to cut off the excess length of collar. My dog was also a little nervous when I brought out the scissors to cut off the excess collar length, but I did it as quickly as possible. Once the collar is on and adjusted, it's just like any other dog collar and the dog seems fine with it. I recommend this product for any dog owner who has had issues in the past with topical flea and tick medications and wants an easier solution. Note: I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.rationalgaze

I’m very happy that I got to try Hartz Ultra Guard ProMax flea and tick collar for my dogs. We have an all-natural wooded backyard and walk in the woods out by the reservoir several times a week. So, we are exposed to areas that are not treated and have a big need to keep our dogs protected from fleas and ticks. We’ve had the collars on our big dogs for a couple weeks now and have not seen any critters on them. And, even though they play and are very active, the collars stay in place. We are also very pleased with the water resistant, because they run into the water and former treatments became ineffective once the dogs got wet. Our observation is that it is effective in repelling fleas and ticks, the collar stays in place, looks nice and is lightweight and durable, they do not irritate the dogs’ skin, they are water-resistant, and are priced right for their duration compared to other products. We would highly recommend Hartz Ultra Guard ProMax flea and tick collar and will definitely buy again. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.Sassylifter1

Bought the Adams flea & tick plus as it came two in a Pkg & we have two small dogs. There was no warning on product that small dogs could suffer side effects more so than larger dogs, I found out online when my baby (the smaller of our two at 11 #'s) started acting very strange. He couldn't be still, yet at bed time he was so tired he would try to lay down & there was involuntary twitching & muscle movement, he couldn't be still. Morning & no difference, so it occurred to us only thing new was the flea collar! Took it off & called my vet. She said long as he hadn't eaten it, he should be ok but to monitor & if he didn't improve he would need pet urgent care. I love my little boy so much! I was in tears, but as day went on he did improve some and that night he was able to sleep right up next to me with some twitching, but not nearly as bad. End of second day, he is much better but I can't imagine the damage done if we hadn't put it together & removed the collar!

Just want to warn people who might consider this for small dogs. Don't risk it!Walker email

After one night in the collar, my poor Chihuahua was weak in the back legs, had NO appetite, started throwing up yellow stomach acid with bits of red, stringy blood in it, and is shaking all over and miserable. I am SO glad I pay attention to everything with my service animal, and knew the collar was the only thing different!!
Terrible side effects for small dogs! Do NOT waste your money and potentially kill your beloved companions!!Salem Rotaru

If I could give zero I would! My poor babies! My small dog became so I’ll she stopped eating and would just lay around all the time. She actually got so pale. My American bully turned red all over and her hair is still falling out!!! 😡😡😡Becca Bush

Our puppy is constantly on the go! She loves to be outside during this time of the year, chasing her ball and going on walks. The only problem is we have plenty of ticks and bugs that try to get on her. The PetArmor Flea & Tick collar is designed for this problem. The packaging and instructions make it easy to get going. I appreciate that each collar is good for a full 6 months of protection. It's also water resistant and easy to get set up as it's a one size fits all collar. If you are looking for a solution to help keep fleas and ticks away / under control, the Pet Armor collar is a good option.moj14

PetArmor products have been the family favorite for many years. They work well and are easy to use. I've always preferred the collars over liquid drops because my dogs always seem to freak out when using the drops for some reason. The collars go on easy and blend in with their regular dog collars so nobody really notices them and the dogs are already use to wearing collars. I feel at ease knowing my best buds are protected whenever we go out for walks or runs in the park and woods. I highly recommend all PetArmor products.Bubba44103

Pet Armor Flea and Tick collars are convenient, semi easy to use, ready to go in minutes and there is no mess. They have a nice natural odor that is pleasant. I really like the metal tin that they come in. However I was a bit confused as it stated that there is one collar but clearly there are two. I chose a 4 star rating simply because it was not immediately clear on how to fasten the collar. I had to play around with it a bit to figure it out, but I would say that would be the only negative I spotted. The collar is light weight, extremely flexible, so it makes it comfortable for my pup to wear. The excess was snipped off and I had a well fitting collar. I have yet to see a single flea or tick since I started using the collar.Sattie

I have an approximately 12 pound maltipoo. He is very active and likes to roll outside. We had always used Soresto flea collars (approx. $50 for 6 months) and had bought 2 in a row that stopped working after about a week. I decided to try this collar for a lesser value and am SO pleased with the results!! Within minutes of putting it on my Bailey, 7 or 8 fleas rose to the surface of his fur like they were trying to escape (haha) and I have not seen any since then. It has been a while now and I still haven’t seen any. It says water resistant but I decided not to test it so I took it off for a bath and it was easy to take off and put back on. I will definitely be buying more of these in the future for all of my pets!sara615

I purchased one of these for each of my dogs. After about a month with the collars on, my dogs were covered with ticks. I pulled 23 ticks off of them. They weren't just small ticks, but ones that had been on for many days. I returned them and purchased flea and tick meds.lkp100

The Zodiac Flea & Tick Collar is the perfect all-purpose collar for my working “horse dog”. Since he patrols our farm and lives with the horses 24/7, we don’t leave a regular collar on him – too dangerous should it hang up on a fence, and too expensive if we use the quick-release type bra cause of the frequent need to replace it. The Zodiac collar is a great solution – he generally manages to keep it on until replacement time, and should he snag it, it slips off easily. It’s economical to replace, and does a good job of controlling fleas & ticks. Highly recommended!donmbrink

i have a 3 month old and a two month old teddy bear…Bichons. They both weigh under 8 pounds. i went to pet smart and purchased 2 seresto flea and tick collars for small dogs, but on the front it says small dogs up to 18lbs. so my question is, could i use them on the puppies or return them and get for smaller dogs, or maybe cats. thanks for your time.Michael S.

I have to admit that I was very impressed with the quality of the Backcountry collar. The material is a thick rubber that is both soft and strong. It doesn't have the sticky feeling most rubber has (especially when wet) so it doesn't pull or rub on the hair. The inside of the collar gets a greasy film that builds up after a while of wearing, however, one of the best things about this collar is how easy it is to clean! Soap and water is all you need and it dries immediately so you don't have to wait to put it back on your pup. It has a durable clip and slides easily when adjusting it to size.Brittany

this is a different material than any collar that i have ever used. it is a flexible plastic. at first i was dismayed but it sure makes it easier to clean than others that i have had. also, it is very strong. even the buckles and where they are attached. fortunately, my dog isn't a strong puller so i am not sure how strong it would be if he were more aggressive. he weighs 22 1/2 lbs and is poodle/bichon. the small fit perfectly.artc

This silicone collar is rad because it doesn't tatter over time, so it basically still looks brand new even after a couple of months of wear. My dog likes to run through bushes and tall grass so I really like this feature. The branding hasn't worn at all either, and I love how the silicone material dries quickly and resists snow from building up or freezing to it when I take my dog skiing.Kendall Z

Great flea and tick collar for cats. Collar is a cute light grey color and is much slimmer than other collars I have seen which is really nice since my cat was not a big fan of wearing a collar. The little can the collar comes in has easy to follow instructions as well as these wonderful reflective clips you can add to the collar to hold down the end part if it sticks out too much or if you want to see your sweet kitty goes outdoors and you want to be able to spot them at night (thinking of when they cross a street and a car is coming). The most important though is how really well this collar has worked to keep fleas and ticks off my cat. Within 24hrs my cat had serious relief from the critters that were bothering her and making her scratch herself. She was so bothered by fleas and/or ticks that she was loosing hair on her lower belly. Now she significantly has decreased her scratching. I haven't seen any fleas on her (and she goes on daily adventures outside). Her lost hair is now growing back as well. I am super happy I bought this collar. I had hesitated because it is pricey but oh is it worth it! I had tried the monthly liquid flea products you place in between the cat's shoulder blades and that was torture as my cat would absolutely hate it and it would cause her to scratch and lick the area I placed the product and she would also lose hair there too. But not with this collar. Not only does she not seemed bothered by it but it has had no negative side effects of hair shedding. The collar lasts 8 months so I don't have to remember to reapply flea treatment every month. I would definitely purchase this collar again and would highly recommend it to others.Isabelle75

* Still an early review Have two inside cats and fleas have been a problem for awhile now. I've been giving flea baths every two weeks and Advantage once a month along with vacuuming furniture. I keep seeing the scratching and nibbling so decided to give the collar a try. Within an hour fleas were falling off everywhere they'd sit. I have linoleum and hardwood so I could spot the fleas easily. What made me notice initially was one of the cats sat in my lap and I noticed 5 or 6 dying fleas on me. They don't scratch their faces anymore and sleeping seems to be better. This is only day 2 and I'll update a few months later but as of right now this collar will massacre any flea problem your cat has. Would recommend highly to anyone considering it.Fenrir

Ordered 3 of the flea collars. Two of the dogs had no problems. But our 15 lb Shitzu had terrible reaction. Only had the collar on for about 6-8 hours. Restless, anxious, eyes swollen and itching. Immediately removed collar and started giving Benadryl every 6 hours. Washed face and around neck area. That night started whining and shaking head. Finally gave bath with baby shampoo. Learned valuable lesson. Going to research more before putting something on this little fellow.Sweetnanadonna

They last 3 months. It’s 1 collar per package to last 3 month’s. My senior mix breed pit/boxer/springer, is 10 year’s old. Her skin is sensitive to topicals. And I live in the woods. She stays close to home now. And and additional fleas I noticed. Is because I’m getting signs I need to treat my grounds outside my house. I use a granular pesticide in a seed spreader every 6 feet rows (keep away from tree’s). Just before a rain fall, to wash into the ground. And cut my grass first. So my pet’s don’t eat it. I keep this away from my pet’s. After a good rain. Their good to go potty outside. And I don’t have to worry about them bringing in fleas or ticks (twice a year, spring and mid summer). I use a flea & tick spray every couple of weeks. Is good enough. A little on back, and tummy. I rub it in with my hands. Around to spread it out. Then wash hands. Never over use pesticides products on pets. I don’t use flea & tick shampoo except maybe 3 times a year. And don’t use spray with shampoo. That’s too much. One or the other. Then I put back on my flea collar after bath, when dry (best results). I’m in NW Arkansas, in the Ozark’s Mountains.Chichewa

One of my dogs can not tolerate the chemical topical flea and tick treatments. He had terrible, large, scabs on his skin where it was applied. I tried these collars last year on him, and never saw a flea or tick. They have that great powdery scent, so he is able to cuddle with me and not stink me out with that bad chemical smell. Very economical, less harsh, and of course easy to put on.kscafidi

I received the collar and opened it to put on my cat. I immediately noticed the pleasant smell of the collar and how soft and flexible the collar was. It went on with ease and was simple to put on. The purple color was a nice contrast as well. The cat is leaving it alone and when I pick her up that light scent was very nice and not over powering. I highly recommend the color for comfort, style and I really like that the effectiveness is for 7 months. Before using the collar I had a situation were my other pet who is a dog woke up one morning and couldn't walk and was in pain. As it turned out he had contracted lymes disease from a tick. He is doing better but was on medication for a month and a very expensive hospital visit for him. My decision was to get collars that I can trust and be confident in. That is why Hartz was the choice for me. It lasts 7 months and I don't have to worry about any of my animals for the season. With it being so easy to put on and having it last long is a bonus. They all smell wonderful and you can be at ease knowing they are protected. I love Hartz Ultra Guard for my cats and my dogs! I have received the Hartz ultra guard collar in exchange for my honest opinion. After using it on my cats for awhile I did buy additional ones for my dogs as well. So I have a total of 5 animals protected with Hartz Ultra Guard! THank you Hartz!justnan

I bought the Ultra Guard Flea and Tick collar for my two cats. On Wednesday both cats were brought to a professional pet groomer. They came home and were all clean. I put their flea and tick collar on Wednesday evening. My younger cat had no problems. By Saturday our older cat had an allergic response to the collar. All of her skin under the collar was swollen and scabbed. She hadn’t been scratching it. She didn’t have the redness, swelling or scabs any where else on her body.
We treated it like an allergic response and are waiting to see what happens. We trimmed her neck hair, carefully cleaned it, applied an antibiotic ointment with hydrocortisone ointment.Roxann Boysen

This is the Hartz Ultra Guard ProMax Flea Tick collar for puppies dogs 12weeks or over that of which I received in exchange for my honest opinion. I couldn't exactly tag my identical product as it's literally very recently been released.. Overall tho I totally loved this flea collar by Hartz that's absolutely comparable to Soresto! Comes in one size fits all secure dual buckle system that keeps it safely secure for up to 6months of protection! I live in Ohio where fleas ticks are usually only active 4-5 months of the year so that's perfect for my fur babies. It additional offers protection from mosquitoes and prevention of flea eggs from hatching. It offers full body protection as well seems to live up to it's advertising so I'd say 5/5 product from Hartz! Love this brand for the fact they're safe offer quality products for affordable prices..megan.p

We've used Seresto collars for over ten years with great results. Never once a single flea or tick and they do last eight months as advertised. These collars are worth their weight in gold and we wouldn't trust any other product. Tractor Supply makes ordering easy and quick and their prices are the best!mike44nh

The only flea and tick treatment I use! Works great! In the past I've used the drops of flea liquid between the shoulder blades but it never seemed to work. With Lyme disease from ticks being so common, I need to protect my dogs everyday from ticks.2Crazy Dog Lady

Seresto is for flea and tick protection. It works!! I have been using them for about 5 years or so now. Since my dog's groomer told me about it. I have not seen a flea or tick since. Since it is a collar there is less danger than drops between the shoulder blades. So easy to miss the exact location. Very highly recommend this product.Gabby15

the best flea collar there is at a price that is amazing. have tried many others but none work as well or as long.it arrived on time in perfect new sealed can. just get this one your dog will thank youdafidd81

In our family, we have previously only used these for our dogs and they work amazingly well so we tried one for our cat and the results were better than we expected. Her whole attitude changed – she is more relaxed and playful. No more irritated scratching and licking. Within three days she was stretched out on the floor and comfortable. This is how it should be. With no lapse of time in between the monthly dosing as in regular topical flea medicines, the collar makes it easy to use, no mess, and more effective. I recommend Seresto collar to anyone who has pets, It is well worth the money. Ebay is the best price I have found for them.possumuhbilities

Look no further here's the BEST protection for your dogs, against bugs that can hurt us humans too. Been using this fab necklace for decades. Nothing comparable so don't think twice and you have one worry less!btlily

My vet recommended these to me three years ago when I noticed my adopted dog had cresks in her legs when she stood up. Her left leg goes pop from the hip a bit, but it is very slight. I've given her these just about every day for the past three years without incident. I no longer hear regular creeks and I attribute the maintenance to Glycoflex. My vet said that this was the only glucosamine product (except maybe Cosequin) that tests show has the actual amounts of the active ingredient in it. I give the Joint Treats to my puppy for support, but I don't think he needs them. I won't be switching to Joint Treats.2dogsandacat

Our 9mo old puppy was having her back knee caps pop out of place several times a day. Once she started taking the Glyco Flex 1 twice daily, her problems stopped. She has been taking them for about 6 months now and her problem completely stopped. Excellent product!!!Tracey K.
