We've received a lot of questions following the USA Today article on Seresto collar safety and possible adverse effects.  We take your pet's health seriously here, and understand your concern after reading this story. The EPA and FDA take these reports seriously and investigate to determine if the product is the cause of the problem, and if so, they can issue warnings or cause the product to be removed from sale. This has not happened for the Seresto collar.

FDA Warning on Oral Flea and Tick Preventives

There are FDA warnings on almost all of the oral flea and tick products (Bravecto, NexGuard, Simparica, etc) for side effects including tremors, seizure and comas. If you are not comfortable using the Seresto collar, we are happy to give advice on alternatives.

We will continue to monitor the situation and will pass along any new information that comes to light.
