Seresto Fleas And Tick Collar For Kittens And Cats

cat owner for 72 years – Xlnt for my 2 x cats. no fleas. no scratching. Lasts 8 months. I always use these. No issues re cats alergic to them. Easy to put on. BE AWARE. There are plenty of fakes going around, and they are cheap and may cause problems with the cat re poisoning. The correct ones are only at vets (online and shops). They are around $45+ each. Show details

My fur babies are flea free – Personal experience ,we purchased Seresto collars last year,had wonderful results with our 3 adult babies. We live in the Florida panhandle Hot, Humid & Hurricanes. Since our initial use we have added to our family and I just purchased eight of the Seresto collars for our kittens which are 5 months of age and additionally five adults ranging in… Read more

age from 1 -12 yrs. The only problem that I have seen has been that the collars have gotten caught on bottom jaw of their mouth, only on the Kittens, never on adults. Also, the collars were tightened but not completely tight because the kittens are in a growing stage that results in the additional collar surplus to remain so that it can be adjusted as they grow. As a suggestion place an additional clip on the colors that we could use in this instance with growing kittens.

Beyond that, My heart breaks for anyone who has suffered a loss or injury as a result of this product or any flea product. The EPA should be strongly monitoring the chemicals marketed for our animals. There position of not monitoring these products opens Pandoras Box of Less than Desirable people promoting products that have extremely dangerous chemicals and effects to both Pet Babies and Human. There is NO EXCUSE for there blatant failure to regulate these products. I strongly suggest doing your homework, look up the chemicals and read. Take into account Your Pets Health and Needs, once you've decided on a product (flea treatment) monitor your pet, closely!! Every product on the market has a down side, just like medications that Drs prescribe to us, the key is choosing medication/ product that has least side effects, and most reviews. Read reviews as well and keep a logical, Open mind. Some people may have put these colors on after they had treated them with other flea medication which could have caused a severe reaction. Follow directions/ instructions exclusively. In closing do your research, keep an open mind and monitor your babies.

Got rid of our long running flea problem – We bought a ragdoll kitten not knowing she was infested with fleas. The breeder put flea drops on her before we took her home and whilst we saw them dying and dropping off, the drops did not entirely kill them all. Come last summer (after holiday and kitty in boarding) we come home to fleas jumping everywhere in our house. An utter nightmare. We… Read more

vacuumed tirelessly, treated the cat over and over, threw out everything we could and flea bombed. We had treated the cat with 2-3 DIFFERENT brands of drops and still she had fleas. By now we had spent $100s. Finally at the point of getting rid of the cat, we were told about these collars. Thought after all the $ already wasted (including the cat!) We would try it and at $70 it better work. Finally we ARE flea FREE. The collar must break the infestation cycle (even after bombing new fleas must still have been in the house). So icky and we honestly keep a clean house. This collar is only thing to have worked for us and thank goodness as we were so close to giving away our kitty.

It worked well for my cats – So glad it worked so well for my cats. had been dealing with Flea issues. tried using many expensive products. not any of them worked on my cats. pills and liquids only last for a few days. so I gave it a shot for these products, even there are mixed positive and negative reviews on this product. Best spend ever, has been 4 months using, not a single flea on them.  Show details

Been using for 4 years and love – I first used this on my elderly cat, who is now 19, and it worked great. The next year we rescued 2 kittens and I have used these collars with all the cats for past 3 years. No issues at all with the collar and definitely has helped with fleas and ticks, we have had none since we started using these collars, in fact it's humans have gotten the… Read more

ticks rather than the cats (we live in a high tick population spot) So I completely recommend these collars.

Kills Flea Infestation Quickly – My cat had a flea problem for around 8 months. I used drips from Advantage and Revolution, plus a tablet from the vet. All to no avail. Also used daily bathing with flea shampoo, but the infestation was just getting worse. In desperation, I tried this Seresto flea collar, and they cleared in days. I was aware of the side effects, so I checked him… Read more

every day. Noticed a small skin rash where the collar was touching his skin, so I moved the collar to below his other collar, so that it didn't touch so much, and this seems fine now. I check him every day for side effects, but after a month he seems ok, and thank goodness no more fleas! Great product worked where others failed. Just watch the side effects. I don't think it can cause cancer quickly, but my cat is old, so just happy to get ride of those fleas.

Waste of money – I've tried the Seresto flea collar on my cat 3 times over the past few 5 years. Twice it worked in the past, but only for 4 weeks. The latest one didn't work at all. Show details

Seizures and nasal complications – My cat started to have seizures and nasal blockage without discharge for 4 months. Nothing detected on x-rays, 4 vet visits. After 2 days without collar the symptoms totally disappeared. Thankful my cat is still alive. Show details

Been using for 5 years and perfect, today my Cat died from 3 ticks (2 month old collar on her) – We live on the nasty northern beaches (tick wise) but Seresto has been our saviour for 2 cats for 5 years. No ticks, or if there are any, they are dead. Today my cat was found with 2 engorged ticks and we just buried her 4 hours later (after she died from complications from the serum). Just beware, they are not perfect! Removed the collar from my… Read more

other cat and purchased a new one-bad batch last time (?). Do not have a solution except check your cats every day if you can-even with the collar. Checked packaging to see if it was a fake, but all indications are that it was very real.

Beware. Observe your cat for side effects – Used the collar on both our cats who are litter sisters. One became listless and little interest in food. Lost 20% of her body weight in a few weeks. Changed her foods and still uninterested in most things. Gave her a very good check over for joint or other problems. Removed the Seresto collar and within 2 days back to her happy active self… Read more

eating good amounts and regaining weight. The sister still has the collar on and no problems. Back to Bravecto for our little sensitive girl

Nearly killed one cat, injured my other one – Bought these collars and put them on both my cats. Within days they had become listless and unhappy. An open weeping sore developed under the collar on one cat's neck (upon googling I found this is not uncommon with these collars). Removed her collar and she instantly perked up with her personality going back to normal. The other cat had no skin… Read more

reaction but was still listless. Two days later he completely lost his appetite and became completely lethargic. We removed his collar and bathed him with mild shampoo and now, three days later he is slowly regaining his appetite but is still very unwell. Going to cost me a fortune in vet fees all because I trusted this product. Be careful!

My cat was about to die with this rubbish – The collar doesn't have a buckle to get secured, it gets loose by scratching, it stuck in my cats mouth for few hours during night, we found her unconscious in the morning, Do not buy this crap.  Show details

This collar cause my 2 year old cat – Put this collar on my cat 4 months ago. He was in perfect health and had no issues but the fleas all over him. Purchased this collar from petsmart and within 48 house he had no fleas on him. Finally found somthing that works! All though it did work the chemicals absorbing into his skin has caused a turn for the worst. 3 days ago my cat started… Read more

acting differently, thought maby he ate somthing he shouldn't have and it will pass. Day 2 was more concerning he would not walk or get up to eat or even use the restroom. Day 3 we had enough and got him to the vet. He stayed overnight to be examined in the morning. Day 4 (today) we get the call that our cat has severe lung cancer and his lungs are cracking and needs to be put to sleep. My cat was in perfect shape untill that collar came into the picture. 4 months ago these chemicals seeped through his skin into his bloodstream and to his lungs which caused this excruciating disease alternatively killing my cat with a slow painful death. I do not recommend anyone use these collars on any of their animals. It may get rid of the fleas but it also gets rid of your fur buddie. I will never use these collars on any of my pets ever again id rather give them a bath for 15 years every week than loose them after 4 months to a collar that clearly needs to be taken off the market

Used this before (twice) had great results. Used it last year and this and the cats still had ticks – It does not working as stated Cat still has ticks Been buying it for four years Last year and this year results are not good Customer service was of no help Was given a runaround Show details

Not good – Brought the Seresto collar for my cat, because I wanted him to be able to go outside. Put it on and decided to let him wear it for 24 hours before letting him out. I couldn't keep it on him for no more than an hour. He was digging hair out of his neck in big tuffs. All I could see was these floating tuffs of hair everywhere. The package said two… Read more

weeks and this will stop. I think in two weeks there would be no hair left to come out. And he was miserable.

Good but break away feature should be looked at and upgraded – The collar works amazingly well but the break away feature needs to be looked at because they don’t break away. My cat tried to get the collar off and got it caught in his mouth. He dang near killed himself, blood everywhere when I found him and then had a vet bill to make sure he was ok Show details

Quality has disintegrated ...completely – GREED destroys, a complete rip off. Spent $100 + on collars from my veterinarian to avoid Counterfeit 2 days later 2 tics imbedded in cat’s neck effing joke submitted a claim Show details

Extremely disappointed – We have a male cat with no scruff. He adapted fine to the collar which we purchased two weeks ago. I noticed yesterday that he wasn't acting himself. He is very vocal normally telling me to feed him or pick him up. That was not the case He just laid around all day. Today I looked to see if maybe his collar was too tight. That was not the case… Read more

either. But, after examining him I noticed that he had hair loss and very red irritated skin half way around his neck. So off the collar went and into the trash!

Seresto cat collar – My Poor cat has been suffering she was scratching at the collar tonight on closer inspection her skin was red and raw in parts with fur missing. Won't purchase again. Show details

Left red mark and sores around neck – Had to cut off the collar as left red mark and sores around my cats neck. Also fur missing. I could put 2 fingers under the collar so was not too tight. Show details

Severe side effects – After 3-4 weeks of wearing this collar my cat began to get darker pink skin areas and lose fur. First around where the collar was then in other areas. He developed red areas around his eyes and butt as well as under him. With time most of skin turned black. Had biopsies and other tests vets are stumped for answers. Show details

Expensive 1 month of flea control – Purchased Seresto and it worked well on cat for 1 month only - not up to 8 months as loudly printed on collar tin. I am disappointed with product and have paid. Show details

Best flea & tick treatment – Bought this after it was recommended by my sister who's a vet nurse. I've used Seresto on 3 different cats for nearly 18months and none have ever gotten fleas or ticks. We brought our 3rd cat home as a kitten with fleas and I straight away put a new seresto collar on my other cat. Not a single flea was ever found. They can lose a little bit of… Read more

hair where the collar touches but that's due to it rubbing and it isn't noticeable. I highly recommend seresto because it lasts so long and the price has dropped since they were first brought out so o me, it's worth the money. Some cats will have reactions to products. My advice would be to try and see if it's ok for your cat. I personally love it and prefer a little fur loss than a flea infestation. Highly recommend.

It was Great while it Lasted – My cat was riddled with fleas (if I parted her fur on her head, I was guaranteed to see at least one flea, usually more). I tried the Advocate Flea treatment and flea shampoo (all recommended by the pet store), but to no avail. As a last resort the pet store recommended Seresto Flea collar. Within the first week there was a noticeable difference… Read more

(head part test; no fleas) and after having the collar for approximately one month, her fleas have disappeared. However the only downfall was that we had to remove the collar yesterday as she developed a sore on her neck but it was worth the one month’s grace of not seeing my cat go crazy by scratching & biting herself every five seconds.

Left a nasty mark on my cats neck – Works at getting rid of the fleas, easy to put on, but after a few days my cat was left with a horrible sore on his neck and hair loss. Can't tell you if it works after as i cut the collar off and took him to the vet.

Horrible – I have had the collars for just over a week. The collars advertise 8 months life span. They have worked for all of two days and my cats are all riddled with fleas again. Not to mention my younger two who have white fur have sores on there necks from where the collars where sitting l, am unable to check the other two as they are tabby’s with dark… Read more

fur. But have removed collars from all 4 babies. My youngest kitten went mental not long after the collar was put on. Biting and tearing her fur. Took her to the vets and they advices removing the collar. I had checked they weren’t on too tight by being able to insert two fingers comfortably under the colllars.

Left sores on one of my cats necks the other cat started acting aggressively – I had not been having any luck with any of the back of the neck drops for controlling my cats fleas, so when I saw this product I thought it was worth a try. After 2 weeks of wearing it my daughter noticed a sore under the collar of one of the cats necks and on closer examination he had lost all his fur under the collar and had small sores all… Read more

around his neck. The collar was not on too tight , if anything it was slightly looser than recommend. Of course on seeing this I took the collars off both cats . The other cat had patches of hair missing but no sores but had been acting aggressively when he never had before and also had stopped grooming. I just removed the collars yesterday so have yet to see if my cats behaviour returns to normal, but he already seems calmer.
