Do you use Seresto Flea Collars?
Atlanta News is reporting that the Seresto brand flea collar is killing dogs or at a minimum making them sick. This particular brand is sold at Walmart.
I don’t think that it was this particular brand, but it was the same style that almost killed a blind neighbor’s seeing eye dog. For whatever reason, he couldn’t get the dog into the vet right away for a flea dip & a well meaning friend bought him a flea collar that looked a lot like this one & put it on the dog. Within 2 days, the dog was foaming at the mouth & having seizures. He called the vet to ask what he should do because he knew the vet was backlogged & the vet asked him a few questions…one of which was IF he had purchased one of these style collars. When he responded yes, the vet instructed him to remove it immediately & throw it in the garbage to see IF that might stop the seizures. Sure enough, by the very next morning, the dog wasn’t having seizures every 15–20 minutes or so & had stopped foaming at the mouth. It took him a couple of days to get back to feeling well enough to start eating again. This guy tries tell everyone he knows to stay away from this style flea collar, but they just laugh & respond that they wouldn’t be sold in the pet department of the stores IF they weren’t safe.
Has your dog ever had a bad reaction to this style flea collar? Would you discontinue using them for a while IF you knew that others are having medical problems with their dogs or are you willing to risk your dog’s life?
