Is seresto safe?
Fleas and ticks, oh my! These pesky little buggers can quickly turn your furry friend into an itchy and uncomfortable mess. Luckily, there are a plethora of preventative measures to keep them at bay. One popular option is the Seresto flea collar – but with all the buzz surrounding it, many pet owners are wondering: is Seresto safe? Well, hold onto your leashes folks because we’re about to take a comical deep dive into this hairy issue.
The Lowdown on the Seresto Flea Collar
If you haven’t heard of the Seresto flea collar yet then either you’ve been living under a rock or your dog is secretly using social media without your knowledge (we don’t judge). This little piece of pet armor has made waves across social platforms as THE go-to-solution for fleas and ticks.
The #1 question most pawrents wonder before purchasing any pet product is whether it’s safe for their fur baby. Here’s what you need to know about the infamous blue-collar:
- It’s an easy-to-use waterproof solution.
- Works for both cats AND dogs
- Provides 8 months of continuous protection from fleas AND ticks.
- Uses two active ingredients; imidacloprid and flumethrin that slowly release over time
Sounds pretty pawsome right? But let’s ask ourselves again – is seresto safe?
Breaking Down Its Effectiveness & Safety Measures
Before buying this collar (or any other medicine/pet care product), some essential safety precautions must be considered:
Active Ingredients
That sounds like some scientific jargon, wouldn’t ya say? Let us break down precisely what these two compounds do:
Imidacloprid
This snazzy compound attacks nerve cells in fleas and ticks, paralyzing them shortly after initial contact. This is great news for your pet but NOT for the flea population. Bye-bye fleas!
Flumethrin
So what’s up with this fancy term? Flumethrin -a mouthful we know- repels insects thanks to its power packed pyrethroid properties. Pyrethroids are a group of chemicals which attack the nervous system in parasites by repeatedly opening specific sodium channels which results in paralysis.
With Seresto’s combo of these two active ingredients being such a tag team ultimate dreamboat against pesky pests you might think that maybe it poses risks right?
Safety Measures Taken
Don’t worry! The collar has undergone thorough testing before hitting store shelves:
1) Scientific tests on both compounds used validated their safety
2) Side effects associated with Seresto collars are only mild irritations
3) EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) approved
It seems like every precaution already taken – so four paws up to the seresto bandwagon. Still worried? Let’s take a comedic dive into how other pet owners feel about the Seresto Flea Collar.
What Other Pet Owners are Saying About The Product
A wise cat by the name of Garfield once said: “Never trust a smiling dog”, and that couldn’t be more true when considering product reviews from OTHER furparents just like yourself:
Positive Reviews
All hail our feline friends who have chimed in on this conversation below:
- “No itching, no scratching, and zero skin infections since she started wearing her Seresto!” Purrrfectly safe, if you ask us.
- “Bubbles loves his new bling bling….oh I mean his Serestro.” Apparently, dogs also love flaunting their new accessory.
Negative Reviews
Now don’t get scared; Remember nobody is perfect so let’s see what pawrents haven’t quite glittered on this product:
- “My cat was lethargic and had tremors” – Sorry, but now THIS sounds like a load of fleas.
- “This collar might as well have been made out of cotton” said one disappointed guardian. It seems it didn’t do justice for her furry friend.
It’s fair to say no two pets pawspectives are quite the same.
