Starstruck7 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Hello! We have been looking to switch our current grey from Nexgard to the Seresto collar. We are adopting a new boy, who uses the collar, so it would be cheaper and easier to have them on the same med. We buy our medication from petsupplyexpress typically but wondered if anyone had experience buying the collar from there. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleptogrey Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Do some research as to what a genuine collar looks like. There are fakes out there. With the rash of fakes it might be worth peace of mind purchasing it from your vet. Check out the website, often there are coupons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Starstruck7, I have no experience with the company you are going to order from. Only used Nexgard a few times but generally preferred something on my dogs (Seresto) rather than in them (Nexgard). Google "counterfeit Seresto collars" to see the articles and videos. People often complain about the price, but to me it is still reasonable since they are good for many months. And if you have a less-ticky time of the year, you an do like I do. I put them back in the original tin, making a note of date of useful time remaining.

Victor Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I would avoid Seresto collars. They've be linked to the deaths of thousands of pets: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2021/03/02/seresto-dog-cat-collars-found-harm-pets-humans-epa-records-show/4574753001/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveRoooooers Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 See this recent discussion about Seresto collars. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin.

smurfette Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 We are using seresto collars for years now. Never had a problem. We always buy them from our vet. They are a bit more expensive but we are sure they are the original ones. Quote Sorry for butchering the english language. I try to keep the mistakes to a minimum.
