A joint report from USA Today and Investigate Midwest is questioning the safety of one of the most popular flea collars on the market. The news article has noted that the Environmental Protection Agency has received 75,000 complaints from pet owners about the Seresto Flea and Tick collar in the past few years. The report also indicates there have been nearly 1,700 pet deaths linked to the collar.
Many pet owners that have voiced concerns over the collars are reporting their dogs developed alarming skin rashes and other skin problems after wearing the collars. Other pet owners have said their dogs have died as result of toxic reactions to the chemicals found in the collars. There have also been 1,000 incidents involving human harm.
