I no longer use flea products that are applied to the back of the neck since I put some on one of my Echo. She went into convulsions from it and had to go into ICU. Seresto collars are absolutely wonderful, but please read this before you buy one.
The first Seresto collars I bought were from Amazon, and they were GREAT! They were the only thing that worked on my dog, Autumn, and my cats. My senior cat, Svetlana, has a flea allergy, and the poor baby's skin was oozing from sores - the antibiotics the vet prescribed did absolutely nothing. She likes to lie on the edge of the bathtub in hot weather, and when she'd get up there was a gunky, bloody mess left behind. After a couple of weeks with a Seresto collar her skin was totally healed.
I saw Seresto collars on eBay from a seller in Poland who had high, good feedback. I bought several, since the price was about half of what I had paid before, but they did absolutely nothing. I didn't know there were fakes out there; I just assumed maybe the European ones were effective on a different species of flea. Fortunately, I got my money back from Paypal.
I went back to Amazon, but this time the collars I got there were totally ineffective. I didn't know fakes had made their way to Amazon since the first ones were fine; I thought maybe Bayer had changed its formula. Sadly, Amazon doesn't check for counterfeits. I've since learned that fake Seresto collars are everywhere - including on the Canadian websites that sell pet medications at a deep discount.
(Pet Care Supplies is a popular one, but I did my research and they're selling FAKES.)
I now order from Chewy.com. They're the genuine deal, and I wouldn't even think of buying them from anyplace else (great service, good prices on a huge variety of pet products - check them out!) or a vet, but the price on Chewy is better than most vets, and 2 day shipping is free.
