Vet’S Best Flea & Tick Repellent Dog 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. I sometimes wonder = JUST HOW DID WE MANAGED WITHOUT THEM ! ! ! ! Yes, the collars may seem a bit pricey, BUT WELL WORTH IT ! Lane Unser BBB Ranch Dripping Springs TXLANE

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

Gave my dog a big raw spot. He’s lethargic and hiding from me after I took the collar off. He only had it on for a couple daysTamiC

Packaging . No directions how to OPEN 😤 product. As the Dosage package looks like every other product of this type human or canine two different sides one of which looks like has to be peeled off to have the dispenser come out. COULD NOT FIND ANY DIRECTIONS TO THE CONTRARY.🤔 Well trying to peel off white layer the liquid spewed out all over me and the counter.Dorothy Groesbeck

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

Having used products that contain various chemicals and noting the unusual effects it was super to find a tick collar that is natural and does not have the adverse side effects of the chemical type. May have taken slightly longer but our Labrador and we are very pleased with the collar. Definitely recommend.Merlin

This collar has been the most effective tick collar on the market for many years. I have been using these collars for 15+ years and have never had a tick on any of my dogs. We live in a rural area on a farm and I have found ticks on my husband and I, but not on any of the dogs. I wish they made these for horses and donkeys!Brandi

The preventic collar is fantastic. It keeps the Ticks off of our too Goldendoodles. We live in a very rural on 40 acres with about 200 or more acres around us, all trees. The trees are oak and drop lost of leaves in the winter. The favorite of ticks. Before these collars even taking nexguard once a month they came inside with live ticks which got on us. since preventic we have not seen a tick in the house for 3 months. If lyou live in an area with tics this is the best product on the market to keep the tics off your dogs. IT WORKS.Paul D

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

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 received a Hartz® UltraGuard® Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs – White in exchange for a review. I loved the fact that there is enough length in the collar that it would fit multiple size dogs. I put this on my 62 pound Pittie the very first day I received it. I did have a little trouble getting the end through the buckles but luckily, my dog is very patient. I haven’t noticed any adverse effects on his skin nor scratching where the collar is. I do have some very tall grass that he likes to run and play in on a regular basis and I typically use some sort of OTC drops from the store. I have not found a single flea or tick on him since I started using the collar and definitely recommend anyone giving it a try before spending a fortune at their local veterinarian.SexyCougar

My dogs go to the groomer for their baths every 6 weeks and I was shocked when they told me my german shepherd had a few fleas on him and the groomer informed me that fleas were bad this year because my dogs have never had fleas., so in a rush, I ordered these flea collars and they seem to work but I also use a spray bottle with 1 cup of apple cider vinegar mixed with 2 cups of water and spray it on my hands then rub my dogs down before they go outside in the mornings first of day then I spray their beds a spritz of it and voila!!!! no more fleas!!!!!! I also used the Hartz flea and tick drops which also works along with everything else. I like a clean house and just can't deal with fleas !!! Now we are back to a normal household without the company of fleas !!!!Pamela

We are VERY pleased so far with the natural flea collars we purchased for our dog and cat. Abby, our min Schnauzer, has multiple environmental allergies in the Spring and Fall, and very allergic to fleas. She actually liked the scent of her collar, had no irritation, and is not scratching or biting at all so far this season!! Our cat is also a happy camper, and she is outside all the time here in the South. So I think we will be lifetime fans of your products. Thank you SO much for quality natural products for our fur babies!! They both give five paws at this point!!!Cecil R.

I put these collars on both my dogs, one Papillon and one Beagle mix. The Papillon never seems to mind, but the Beagle mix (Olive) just has a fit. I am wondering if the intense peppermint scent has ever been an issue for dogs with those sensitive noses. Olive cowers and her behavior changes when she is wearing this collar like it is overwhelming her? Prolly just my weird dog…lol. I even took it out of the package for a day and let it "air" before putting it on her. We had the same problem last year and eventually I had to remove the collar.Janelle

I have four cats. They hate the topical chemical treatments and I feel guilty putting it on them. Last summer we used these flea collars and I never saw a single flea! They had never worn a collar before so they acted a little weird at first but got used to them. This year I'm going to use the natural topical treatment on two of my cats because they've turned into escape artists and are now jumping my fenced back yard. I worry about the collar getting caught on brush and twigs. The other two cats behave and stay in the yard so I'll probably continue with the collars and compare the two.Mary B.

I made the mistake of giving my fur baby a flea and tick PILL, and had immediate adverse reactions that now have her on life long, long term medicine for both heart and liver. I will NEVER buy anything other than a collar for the rest of my life, and had to learn the hard way. Every other week there's a new ER visit due to complications from flea and tick pill, even though its well out of her system by now. These collars are tried and trusted. I'd rather have an off chance of having to pluck ticks/fleas by hand than to EVER give ANY pet a flea/tick pill again. Please check the class actions/reports going on as well speak in regards to the pill treatments!! Stick with what you know!jessie.o

I've always used Hartz flea collars for my Chihuahua, and they always did a good job of keeping fleas off of him. BUT… this particular collar smells bad and my dog scratches more now than before putting the collar on him. It seems to attract fleas, and irritates my dog's skin. Needless to say, it's in the trash can now.Cecil

I was very skeptical about this product after reading so many negative reviews about allergies and making dogs sick. But at the time it was more convenient because they last a couple of months. I applied it on my dog after finding a tick on him and never did he ever have another tick for the entire summer. My dog was healthy and best thing I did not have to remove it to shower him. Expensive but so worth it.taisha.r

I used this product this last season for my dog and he never got flees. I feel so much better using natural stuff than chemicals on him. It was very affordable. It has a very strong scent at first but the scent does lighten up after a day or two. I would recommend this to anyone with dogs.katrina .s

I am not someone who takes my dogs health lightly. I try to use natural products as much as possible. We had a tick outbreak and everything I tried did not work. I bought these drops for all the dogs. Put it on. Took about 3 days to completely soak into the coat but ticks have been unable to attach which is great. Over the last few days there have been less and less. These drops along with Diatomaceous Earth spread around the corners of the house and all the beds is doing the trick. I totally recommend this product!k9rotehexe1

I bought this product earlier this week. I read the instructions and made sure that my dog met the weight requirements for the product. It worked the first day. She stopped itching and biting. The smell was pungent but it was doable. I liked the fact that it was natural. The next day after application, my dog is back to itching and biting. It only provided temporary relief.Yae713

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

We live in the country and my beagle loves to run in the woods constantly…I put the Ultra Guard Pro flea & tick collar on her a few days ago…and I like that you can cut it to fit perfectly. I also like the way its so easy to use…NO mess and no monthly drippy reapplications. I also LOVE that it is REFLECTIVE!! She's easy to spot!! She's only had it on for a few days but NO scratching !! I'm very happy with the collar so far and would recommend it!mamsue12

Works ok. Wouldn’t recommend if your dog has a small child as a best friend. Kids don’t understand do not touch . Got rid of most of the fleas. Just hard to keep on his neck. He’s not a fankourtney.k

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.

Not Only Do I Love HealthyPets.com for providing this product in such a good price, but I love this product because my 7 year old lab show\'s improvement on his walks & running and he LOVES he\'s treats. Thank you HealthyPets.com. We will forever be greatful.Blanche
