To anyone who has indoor cats and carpet There is a way to get rid of the fleas in your home. Sprinkle boric acid all over your carpets Use a broom to brush the powder in Wait a couple of days and vacuum your carpet and you may need to do the same to your sofas and chairs if they are fabric Most of the fleas in your home are in your carpets as worm like larvae that eat dust mites . When you contaminate their nursery There will be no more fleas.

Thank you for info.

I just read that more recent collars won't have the Bayer logo since Seresto was purchased by Elanco in 2020.

Thank you so much for this video, I think you saved a lot of owners & there fur babies. I bought a collar I thought was a real one my dog luckily only god of small wound that thankfully I had noticed in time before it got worse. I've heard so many horrible things about these collars I don't understand how they get their hands on what looks like a real tin and put fake collars in and seal them up. I will say this please guys if you get a collar from Walmart or Hannaford's double-check to make sure that it's legit. The one that I found out was not legit was Hannaford's and I do know for a fact that Walmart can sell fake ones as well. You would think that there would need to be a lot of evidence before putting these out for people to buy. I've heard dogs and cars dying because the collar is fake.

Thanks for the video. I had no idea about this scam

hey my collar has C2018 trademark on the back i hope it doesn’t mean it’s outdated

Thanks for the video. Love your cross, BTW: is it the Hungarian cross? The crois de Lorraine is related. Or is this the Russian Orthodox? Thanks

Hi doctor. I put the collar on my dog maybe a week ago. I noticed that he had pain around his neck when I would rub him and even his ears. Would sneeze etc. he also has a collapse Trachea. So I figured I would take it off. Then I just so happen to look into this collar and I’m sick seeing the recall. I have him a bath. He no longer jumps when I touch his neck. He is not vomiting. No diareah no sneezing. No pain in throat. Do you want think there is long term side effects from this? I bought it at petsmart. Thanks so much. He’s acting normal. I’m just scared now. I’ll call his vet but just wondering if you can answer as well. I’m a nervous wreck

I just bought a pair of these on Amazon, and they both have the same number on the cans. That's a LOT number, not a serial number. Now I don't know if they're real or fake, but they weren't cheap! Now I don't want to break the seals unless I have some way to determine where there's an actual SERIAL number, not a LOT number.

Can you have no symbol but have serial numbers and is fake? Also, how long will my dog stops itching with a real collar?

May i ask how much is it the normal price for seresto cat collar in real retail price please as im living in Dublin Ireland and looking to find one but there is no official price i can use as a sample

I wish I had seen this.

Just a note: Elanco bought Bayer in 2020 for 7.6 Billion, so this information is now wrong. Well meaning, but incorrect. The can, for example, now has the Elanco logo on it. BTW, I did once get a fake Seresto from Amazon, very disappointing, and it made my then dog very sick, so your advice on that is 100% legit. I'll never buy another from Amazon. I bought this one from Walmart. It does still have the matching serial numbers, it also comes in a theft and tamper resistant packaging that's nearly impossible to open. It doesn't have the Bayer symbol of course. However, it does have that distinctive clean Seresto smell. The fake one I bought smelled like permethrin. And, like you said, $60.

Thank you for this video! I just bought a new Seresto online and got concerned about its veracity. The one that I bought was made in Germany to be sent to USA. It came without the reflectors. An issue that I found in the collar was that It doesn't have the Bayer logo on it, and when I cutted the loose edge after placing on my dog´s neck there was a small air bubble on the middle of the collar. In the leaflet I found a word that might be spelled wrong, ctenocephalides canis, that should be spelled with a capital C. (Ctenocephalides canis). Also in the leaflet is always specified for dog above 8 kg (I guess because was made in Germay), But in the metal box its specifies in Kg and Lbs. However the serial number in the metal box, plastic bag and the collar matches, although in the metal box number there is an "0" and in the plastic bag and collar´s number looks more like a "O". Does anyone have any thoughts if this could mean that I have a fake collar? Thank you very much!!

I don't want the real ones or the fake ones. Nothing but chemicals and I hope that you make a video to show that these colors have a class action lawsuit against them for making dogs ill and even death

I didn't get any reflectors that was the give away for me

Sos. I ordered 3 Seresto collars. Two of my kits didn't have any reaction - worked great. But my third baby had an awful reaction. Much like a chemical burn(?) on his neck. Did this happen because it was a fake? Or does my cat react differently to chemicals? Any case, is there any flea and tick cat collar that won't cause a chemical burn reaction? (I'm assuming it was a chemical burn. There was a patch on his neck that was missing fur that oozed and pussed all nasty things within maybe 3-4 days of putting the collar on him. This was almost a year ago, and his fur has grown back and is back to normal. Just glad I caught it 😓) If you, or anyone, have any suggestions that would be great. Tis the season!

I bought a seresto collar from PetSmart for 64.00 and it stopped working in 2 months I will be checking it later today to see if it’s real. Because my dog has been fighting fleas like crazy on the 3rd month smh.

Or you could buy them from a trusted retailer like Chewy. My vet jacks up the price. That kind of behavior is why people are seeking cheaper alternatives.

So, I bought a Seresto collar about 3 months ago, and I'm barely going to put it on my Aussie. However, within those last 3 months, I've seen reports of people accusing seresto of being linked with serious illnesses in our pets. I just want to know if it's safe to put on him or not. 😫 Also, I'd like to assure you it is a real seresto collar, lol.

Beware, some other company has bought these collars, they don't say Bayer any more, I got one through Amazon, my dog is still covered in flees, the serial number matches, but judging by the flees I don't think it could possibly be real, my Amazon collar says Elanco on it, seems they bought it from Bayer, who knows, I know it's not killing any flees

Is this info still relevent? Im seeing people saying that the bayer logo should be different now after a new company took over?

Bought some from Chewy that are completely ineffective 😑

I got a serestro collar from petco it has the lot number but no Bayer logo am I to assume it's fake

I just got one from Walmart. I see that her tin says Bayer mine says Elanco did something change?

*What brought me here, is seeing these very expensive collars selling all over eBay for around $15, which is only 1/4 of what they normally cost. **_There is only one logical explanation... they're FAKE, and we all know where they're coming from!_* *It's not at all hard to imagine that an overseas company that manufacturers the shipping tins for the real thing, also manufactures a whole bunch of extra tins for "others" to use. Americans are largely unused to American companies behaving this way, so a lot of people get fooled buying worthless counterfeit products or even worse, dangerous knockoffs that could actually kill or sicken pets or family members. Remember, if something looks too good to be true, it usually is! I'm highly disappointed in eBay to so blatantly allowing this to happen.*

Thank you for saving my cat. Just took it off him.

My mom and I got taken in back in Aug/Sept this year by fakes. We had never used Seresto before, but decided to try them on the recommendation of a friend of mine who works in the vet industry due to ongoing issues with fleas and tapeworms despite treatments. My mom found an online seller that offered 3 collars for $60. We have 3 cats, so it was perfect... or so we thought. Found out they were going to take about 2 weeks to arrive, because they were coming from China. Annoying setback, but we didn't think much of it. We get the collars and put them on. Everything seems fine, flea issue seems sorted, tapes issue seems sorted (treated those with Profender). Couple of weeks ago, we notice there's flea dirt still on the chin of one of the cats. Then I notice a couple of fleas here and there on 2 of the cats, one on my bathroom floor, and one on my computer desk. Earlier this week, I noticed a return of the tapeworms segments. Mom said something last night about having possibly gotten fake collars. So I did some digging, and first found a video comparing packaging for the dog collars between fake and real. Couple of points they made matched up to what I had seen on the tins for our cat collars, so I did some more digging to see if I could find something more specific to cats. Found a good video comparing the fake vs real cans for the cat collars, and HOLY CRAP did they match up almost identically. The woman in the video doesn't go into the labels on the backs of the cans except to point out the serial number on the back. It -looks- like the label on the back of her real collar's can is printed right on the can (as in the video w/ the dog collars for the fake ones; the can for the real ones for the dog collars had the label on the back as a sticker), which matches up to our cans. But here's a listing of the things covered in that video that I noticed with our (fake) collars' cans; aside from the bag the collars themselves came in, because we threw those away after putting the collars on the cats. -The collar printed on the can (while not nearly as bad/obvious as it was in the dog video I watched) has one or two places where the top edge of the collar has a little hump to it, barely noticeable even if you're looking for it. The 'tail' part of the collar looks wavier on my can than on her real one and the bottom corner of the 'tail' looks like it comes down farther on mine than on her real one which took a bit of fiddling with the video and doing it frame by frame to be sure on. -The reflectors for what we now know are our fake ones came in the plain little ziploc style baggies instead of the sealed ones you have to cut/tear open w/ the printed-on choking hazard warning. We only had those still b/c we decided not to use the reflectors b/c our cats don't go outside except onto a screened-in back patio, so we didn't see the need for those. -The inside of the can lid looks to be closer to the darker orange of the fake one she showed, and is almost mirror-like in its reflectiveness just like that one. -There is NOTHING printed or stamped on even ONE of the collars we bought. Nor were there serial numbers on the backs of the cans. -I can't compare the vibrancy (yet) of the info inserts and the stickers between fake and real as far as vibrancy, but the overall look of the stickers and paper inserts we have look identical to what she had for the fakes. As best I can tell though, the numbers on her fake sticker are identical to the ones we have on both of our fake ones. (Top row: 84593028, bottom row: V-01/2015). They also don't match the numbers on the can at all. Her paper info insert to the fake one is the same picture as what's on ours. (Not sure if that's significant or not, b/c she had a newer can as well with the stamped/raised lettering for the brand name.) -We don't have the real ones yet to compare the can pictures too, but the overall look of the covers for what we have match up to her fake one. The cat looks about the same to me, but the background part is darker. We can really see the blue of the background vs the almost white on the can she showed for the real ones for the side by side. Something else I noticed is that one of the 3 cans we have has a lighter and perfectly straight looking collar printed around the outside. On the other 2 you can see the warping, and it's a darker grey. I'll update when we get our new ones, so I can compare known real to the fakes better. We got lucky and none of our cats had an adverse reaction to the collars, and had it not been for them not lasting as long as advertised we would never have known the difference! I wish we'd seen these comparison videos much sooner, but we know now. We have new collars on order from Wal-Mart to be picked up, and I will be meticulous in comparing and examining the packaging and examining the collars themselves when we get them before we put them on our 3 boys. If possible, I'll make sure they get examined at the store before we even leave it.

You know you have a fake when you find fleas hiding under the collar and the fleas all have we love seresto on their t-shirts

wait. the serial # on the collar she is saying is real though, DOESN’T match either of the numbers/letters on the tin. did anyone else notice this? the collar says "KPOEDDF", while the tin has "KPOEXCA KPOETJ9". so I'm confused. if that is the real and authentic collar, why don't the serial #s match?!

Seresto collars also dont have a smell. Got 2 fake collars from Walmart website. One had NO collar. Other smells like mint. Wal-Mart sells the knock off brand. HORRIBLE absolutely horrible.

Tractor Supply sells them for a little less than the vet

If its cheap...I just looked it up and saw "elanco" for like 62 and then the Bayer one for 170...You're telling me 20 bucks for a cheap knock off...

Becareful i bought one from Walmart, it was fake

TENGO MASTINES CON CUELLO CON MUCHAS PIELES Y 70 CMS ES CORTO Y QUEDA MUY APRETADO NO DEJA SUELTO EL COLLAR DEBERIAN HACER AL MENOS DE 80 U 85 CMS. HAY MILES O MILLONES DE PERROS DE RAZAS GIGANTES, MASTIN, SAN BERNARDO, MASTIN INGLÉS, CAUCASIAN, ETC

No foaming at the mouth....

Wait but like isn't that illegal?

Definitely fake when you pay 18.00 for a collar that costs 65.00 at pets mart.

Los de manomano son falsos!

The fakes are getting REALLY good. Could these fakes be what’s causing all the pet deaths? Before, it was fairly obvious you received a fake collar if you’d bought a legit one before. The reflectors would be missing and the packaging would be obviously different. The new fakes are incredible. The packaging is almost identical and the reflectors are included. I’ve seen a video where they even had like chalk to mimic that powder the legit ones have.

Nothing but poison..would not recommend these death traps!!!

Please don't use this collar on your dogs and cats, there have been so many reports of death caused by the seresto collar. Find a collar with natural ingredients like "Brerie" collars or make essential oil sprays at home.
