Seresto Collars – distinguishing genuine from counterfeit product

As a follow up to our post last week, several people have contacted us asking how to determine if the collar they have on their pet is a genuine Seresto collar versus a counterfeit. As we mentioned previously, the counterfeit ones can lead to many side effects ranging from being ineffective at preventing fleas and ticks to causing chemical burns, to potentially even death. It is always best to purchase your Seresto collar from your local veterinarian or trusted pet retailer rather than online.

Follow this link for a document outlining how to tell the difference between genuine and counterfeit Seresto Collars. You may also watch the video below that was produced by Bayer in the UK – everything in the video also applies to product purchased in the US except for when they reference the colors used on the tins, and the fact that there is a US Bayer address rather than one in the UK for product concerns.
