Gave our dogs their Bravecta the other day.  Love that stuff.  Haven't seen a tick on them for a few years since we started using it.  Just saw on the news about how many dogs and cats have gotten sick and died from using the Seresto flea collars and they won't do a volunteer recall on them.  I don't like those smelly flea collars.  Used to used them but not anymore.  Who knows what is best for them.

1700 the article I read, but still waaaay to many. Just stinks was really easy putting the collar on fir 8 months,  take it off fir dock jumping.  Let alone trying to remember if they got it this month or last.. Oh well back to the liquids,  hope FF returns them picked up 3 collars a little bit back.

I think it is 1,700 verified dead.  117,000 with serious issues.  I used collars for years.  I always wondered when I can smell the things what must it be to the dog with a nose like theirs to have that smelly thing on their neck.  I always tried to not touch them and what does that say for something you put on your dogs neck?

I never had an issue with the Seresto collars smelling,  we all made sure we washed our hands tho. Well FF took em back yesterday (un opened), now I don't know what to do. The lab when he was young I started the chewables but he seemed lethargic,  so we quit that.  The liquids hangs on the dogs til it's dried which seems to get rubbed on whatever they touch. The Golden retriever has a vet appt next weekend so we'll havta see what they have to say.. collars were so easy, set it and forget it for 8 months.

I repeat get the book "How to afford Veterinary care without mortgaging the kids".  Great tips on how to save money and take the best care of your pets.  It is on Amazon.

He tells how to buy a bottle of Ivermectin and give your dog I think 1/10 CC per month for heartworm and also treats other worms too.  You just shoot it in their mouth.  We buy a bottle about every 3 years for about $30.  That treats 2 dogs.  SO we save about $250 I believe instead of using Frontline  which is also Ivermectin.
