Still, her veterinarian recommended she purchase one, so Bomwell went to the pet store near her home in Somerset, New Jersey, and selected Bayer’s Seresto collar.
A day later, on June 2, 2020, Pierre had a seizure, collapsing while Bomwell was making dinner. Lying on his back, the dog stopped breathing and his eyes rolled back.

I hope my ex uses that brand.
ReplyDeleteYou win the internet today.
DeleteBayer and Monsanto ain't just killing pets......
ReplyDeleteI have used them for several different dogs for years, and never had any issues. Going to stop because my 9 month old Lab pup loves to grab the 5 year old Lab by the collar, and I know chewing them is a big no no
ReplyDeleteNo flea collars or powder for my HouseCat. I have used topicals with varying success. Excellent results with "Catego" brand during a particularly bad flea season last May.
ReplyDelete(Paradyne was not as effective.)
Her vet has never heard of Bravecto? It costs more than a collar, but it's a Hell of a lot safer.
ReplyDeleteAbout 40 years ago, I put a collar on a cat I had, and within days he started losing hair around it. I cut it off, and have never bought another.
I can't imagine any decent vet nowadays recommending a collar, even for an indoor pet.
couple years ago my pit mix almost died from those fucking bayer collars. drove 2 hours to Texas A&M small animal vet hospital. they figured out a treatment and with local vet he survived. fuck bayer
ReplyDeleteThere are cheaper and safer ways. I pick them out of my dog's fur while were bonding and grooming. Yum.
ReplyDeleteDo ya'll sniff butts before the bonding or after?
DeleteRemember you don't crack fleas in public. Learned that in Alabama.
ReplyDeleteThis is a partial statement issued by my vet, as they were inundated with calls. Would have like Soresto to make a statement! "Yinzer"
ReplyDeleteThe USA Today article conflates a different pesticide with a high level of toxicity (a crop insecticide for agricultural applications) with the well-studied chemicals that are used in the brand name Seresto collar, which have decades of safe use in dogs and cats. Peer-reviewed, published studies provide scientific data proving the safety and efficacy of these ingredients used in combination in the Seresto collar; here is a 2012 study done in Europe (with higher regulatory standards than the US) and a 2015 international study that tested the collar alone and when used concurrently with other common antiparasitic treatments.
One critical issue that this article fails to address is the prevalence of knockoff or lookalike products. Unfortunately, if a veterinary product is successful, greedy companies try to capture some of the market by producing products that appear similar but contain different ingredients, or a different proportion of ingredients. It is not unusual for counterfeit replicas of a brand-name product to be produced in foreign countries and sold online posing as the original product. These knockoffs are convincing but have not passed the regulatory testing required of properly approved products to confirm safety and efficacy. Well-meaning consumers that have inadvertently purchased these products online or in retail stores may observe adverse effects in their pet and submit a report vilifying the brand-name product, even though that is not what caused the side effects.
Know that we have full confidence in the Seresto collars sold in our hospital, as we purchase directly from the manufacturer and can guarantee the legitimacy of our stock.
So, 75000 incidents and you are covering Seresto's/ Elanco's ass? It is not anything to do with Seresto and it is all the counterfeit manufacturer's fault? Do you work for Elanco?
DeleteThe name brand collars are safe, it's the knock-offs from places like wish.com that are dangerous. Too many people feel that the vet is trying to rip them off and purchase over the internet. Trust your vet, and pay a few extra bucks for the real thing.
