Sentry Pet Products Reviews

Save yourself money and a lot of stress and worry. I purchased Sentry Pro XFT for dogs 21-39 lbs for my 26 lbs Shi Tzu, Alfalfa. It was purchased from Pet Smart. Because they did not have my usual brand I got the Sentry. I was concerned because I already pulled 2 deer ticks off of Alfalfa and in two weeks he needs to get blood work done for lymes. I didn't want to take any chances on him getting any more ticks. I applied this product and like the other folks in this review, after about an hour Alfalfa was acting very strange. He was plopping down trying to scratch, moving non stop, wouldn't settle down, whimpering, crying and panting. He was flexing the skin on his back.

I bought Sentry flea medicine at Petsmart because it was on sale and I had no idea about the possible effects. My dog Isis began itching almost immediately and within 24 hrs looked like she'd contracted mange. Her ears were bloody and swollen from scratching them all night and she kept tossing her head like there was something in them. I rushed her to the vet where she had to be sedated and kept for 2 days to get it under control. They said at the vet that they've seen so many dogs come in after having Sentry applied to them - and that this product should not even be allowed on the market. A cheap 3-month supply of flea meds has cost me $600 in vet bills. I'd be happy to join a class action lawsuit on these guys. I'm a single mom with 2 kids right before Christmas - that wasn't where I wanted to spend my money. Please don't anyone use Sentry - it's not worth the sale.

Placed Sentry Pro XFT 21-39lbs on my puggle. Within hours she was crying in pain scratching and no playing. By the next morning she has sores on her sides and continued to scratch and cry. She was experiencing anxiety from the irritation. I contacted the vet who requested I bathe her in dawn to remove what was left of the residue on her fur and skin. I was also advised to give her Benadryl. My vet made a home visit and put her on pain pills and an antibiotic. I contacted company and was advised they'd refund my money and told me that any dog can have a reaction to a medicine just like a person can have reactions. Then the rep actually tried to sell me treatment for hot spots. Like I'd buy another product from this company. The big problem here is this is a widespread problem... Worst product ever! Shouldn't be on market at all. My dog has been sick for 4 days and still not over it. I've never been so mad in my life. This company needs to be stopped!

Two weeks ago, I put Sentry Max Flea & Tick on my cat. It was the last flea treatment on the shelf that didn't look completely full of it, so I didn't have a choice. My dog got Frontline. We used these products in conjunction with sprays for the carpets and fabrics, and both animals got a flea bath prior to application. After application, my cat developed painful red sores on the back of his neck. I waited 3 days to allow the product to absorb, then washed it off, and the sores went away. During those 3 days, I pulled a total of 35 fleas off him. Two weeks later, I pulled 9 fleas off my cat. I have been unable to find any on my dog. Sentry Max does not work. Do not waste your money.

I have a 10-year-old female Turkish Angora who is an outdoor/indoor cat. About two weeks ago, I used this Sentry Purrscriptions plus product first time. A few days after wearing the collar, I noticed she started to become sluggish and she was not walking around as much. Then she started to just lay at one spot for a long period of time. It never really hit me that it could be the collar. By the time I realized that, she was seriously sick, it was too late. I brought her to the emergency animal clinic last night and in the following morning, she passed away. The Vet didn't think it could have been from the collar and it was just a coincidence. After reading more reviews, I believe it was from the collar.

I put the liquid tube on my Chihuahua. 15 minutes later he was rolling all over the floor trying to get this stuff off. After 30 min. Sparky my Chihuahua was scratching like crazy and was whimpering. I go to website for this product and read some horrible reactions dogs were getting. I washed my Sparky twice within hour. It didn't help too much. Sparky was up all night shaking, scratching, shaking his ears. He couldn't lay still. The next day Sparky was still shaking, jumpy, he wouldn't eat, he would drink a little warm milk with Benadryl.. Two days later Sparky still wasn't himself. We took him to the vet. He got a shot and meds for his ears. Sparky is feeling better after 5 days.

Purchased Sentry Pro 40 - 60lbs and 60+ recently for our two dogs. Rottie, 8 years old and Shepard/Rottie 7 months. Normally, we use Front Line but because the weather has turned and the Sentry Pro was on sale, I thought we could get through the winter and save a few dollars. Once applied to our dogs, it was only a matter of an hour or so when the puppy began yipping and acting very nervous. She started shaking and nipping at herself.

Gave the dog a flea bath with Sentry Flea and Tick Shampoo around 6 pm. He started acting a little strange at 10 pm, put him to bed and he slept through the night. At 6 am this morning, we heard a lot of noise and came downstairs to the dog having a major seizure, vomiting, urinating and defecating. He has never had an issue before and this was the first time we have given him Sentry Flea and Tick Shampoo. Extremely scary and now I'm worried that he will have lasting issues.

I purchased 4 boxes of Sentry Fiproguard (3 tubes in each box) on Sept. 16, which was received a few days later and used immediately on my 12 cats (I am a foster home for a cat/kitten rescue). It has been two weeks now and we have more fleas than before as this stuff did not work at all. I contacted Petco and was offered a refund of less than half of what I paid, which was $86.00. I usually use Advantage or Frontline, which have always worked, but trying to save a few dollars I will now end up spending about $200.00. I have learned my lesson. I will only buy Advantage or Frontline as in the long run it will save me money. I would have been happy if they applied the $86.00 I had already spent toward the equal number of packages of Advantage or Frontline. I will NEVER buy anything from Petco again as they have proven themselves untrustworthy and won't stand behind what they sell.

I applied Sentry Flea & Tick Squeeze on my 9 year old dog due to a mild flea problem. The next day my dog had a major seizure and was rushed to the hospital. They had no idea what it was until I told them about the flea medication I put on. They said likely a severe reaction. My dog was in perfect health. I brought him to my vet first thing in the morning, had a complete blood workup, perfect results, of course I mentioned the flea product. And he said that Sentry is garbage and his suspicions is that it did neurological damage, but can’t prove it.

My cat rubbed my forehead with Sentry Purrscription Plus and now I have a rash. What to use to clear up the rash?

I have a small Cavalier Spaniel named Hunter who had an awful case of fleas a few weeks back. We bought this product after a "natural, oatmeal enriched" one couldn't cure him of the pesky bugs. It sure works. Fleas were immobilized and it looked like many of their legs melted off from the poison lather. My brother and I spent about three hours kneeling at the bath tub picking out all the little fleas. We found we had to take breaks every 20 minutes because the toxic smell from the shampoo we were inhaling made us nauseous. I hate to imagine how my dog felt, playing host to this toxic goop with his keen sense of smell. Hunter is not the smartest dog, but no joke, I wouldn't be shocked if he lost some of his few brain cells from breathing in this product.

Approximately 4 hours ago, I applied Sentry PurrScriptions Plus Cat & Kitten Squeeze-On Flea & Tick Control to 6 of my cats. At approximately 1408, I heard loud thumping and erratic noises coming from upstairs. I ran up to see my littlest girl tucked behind the closet door, convulsing rapidly and foaming at the mouth. I rushed her to the bathtub and washed her with a botanical soap as fast as I could, then gave her activated charcoal as soon as I could force her mouth open. She seems to be lucid now. Watching her very closely, as well as the other 5. Never, ever had a problem with Advantage II. Thought I would save some money with this product, and it almost killed one of my cats. This company needs to be shut down - anyone seeking to raise a class-action suit against Sentry, please contact me. Pretty sure we only need 6 people.

I bought this for my 2 indoor cats, aged 2 and 3 years old because I am tired of fleas on them every day. The older one goes outside once a day and brings them in so I treated her first.... not happy at all with this. She started by acting sleepy after 1/2 an hour and crawled up on my lap... then she peed all over me and I knew something was wrong. I immediately put her in the tub and started rinsing her with warm water, then bathed her with Dawn to remove as much of the product as I could. I should have read the reviews on this product first because this took me totally by surprise. DO NOT PUT THIS ON YOUR CAT. Take it to the trash and burn it... SERIOUSLY!!! I really hope I got ahead of the negative side effects from this or I will consider suing Sentry.

I wondered why my 1.5-yr-old German Shorthaired Pointer would act so strange when I gave him his flea/tick treatment. A few weeks ago, he started with a twitch in his one back leg. We thought it was very odd, but did not connect the dots. This morning I gave him his next monthly dose, and again he was very strange. He does not want to leave my side all day, literally glued to my side, very tired, sleeping all the time. Just for curiosity, I typed into Google "side effects from Sentry Pro" - OMG! In this day and age, how is this product still on the shelves. I just gave him a very good bath, and I'm hoping that we haven't poisoned our own dog. Something needs to be done.

I purchased Sentry Fiproguard MAX for my 55 lb. pit bull after trying a bunch of failed home remedies. It was a last resort I felt bad for him, he was scratching like crazy. After applying he wasn't himself at all!! He wasn't his normal playful self. After a few days his legs started twitching and he looked so scared. He was also trembling really bad... My son called me at work, when I got home he was laying down crying so bad, HE COULD NOT GET UP FROM A LYING DOWN POSITION!!!! I immediately took him to the 24 hour animal hospital. They checked him and shaved the hair from around his neck and IT WAS RAW!!! My poor baby!!! I feel so bad... I was trying to help him and he COULD HAVE DIED from this stuff!!! $505.00 later he is slowly getting back to normal. He is on a bunch of medication. I am thankful that I took him right away!! PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS STUFF!!!! IT'S WAY TOO DANGEROUS!!! I called the number on the box and they could care less!!! I wish there was something that could be done about this so it no one ever has to go through this!!

I applied Sentry Flea and Tick for Cats and Kittens to my 5-month-old kitten 6 days ago. Last night he suffered a seizure lasting for about 15 seconds - he also urinated all over himself. This morning, he had another seizure so I rushed him to the vet hospital where he had two more seizures. The vet determined it was the flea medicine and he has to be there for 5 days. Do not buy this because it is cheap - like I did. The vet bill is going to be way more than Frontline or Advantage would have been and is much safer. My kitten also still had fleas 3 days after application.

We purchased Sentry PurrScriptions plus for adult cats at Petsmart as we recently had a flea problem and had five indoor cats. We also aren't in the best financial situation, so the $15 price tag was a lot more affordable than Frontline, which we had always used without any problems. In the end, we are left with an atrocious vet bill and we have to bury one of our babies. They seemed fine when it was applied, but our black ragamuffin seemed to be lethargic the next day, so we took her to the vet and she did everything she could but the cat had to be put down the following morning (9/8/13) because of becoming anemic and falling into a coma. The vet doesn't know if the anemia was related to the fleas, but the flea medication definitely poisoned her.

I have not had any fleas and I prefer it to the harsh chemicals we put on them. Also my cats are indoor only and never have been outside except to go to my vet in Alden, NY - but I have no complaints. I'd rather they offered bigger packages for people with multiple cats.

I have 2 small dogs that had gotten fleas. I went to Pet Supplies Plus and bought the Sentry Pro Toy and Small Breed formula. I gave my smaller dog a half dose and my bigger dog (Dexter) a full dose. Dexter has not eaten more than a couple bites of food since. It has been 2 days! Dexter now has uncontrollable, bloody diarrhea and is lethargic. He has an appointment with the vet first thing Monday morning... Until then I can just hope that he gets better... If not, I will be taking him to the hospital.

My husband and I noticed our dog had fleas. We decided to not only treat our dog but, to prophylactically treat our cats. My husband purchased the Sentry PurrScriptions Plus flea med for cats. Approximately 1 hr after treating my cats... one threw up and the other threw up and was foaming at the mouth. We then wiped their backs hoping to get rid of any remaining medicine. 24 hrs later, both cats were somnolent and just "not themselves." I then noticed my small cat had a significant twitch in her back legs. I then call the vet and took my cat in for a visit. According to my vet, the ingredient in that medicine is TOXIC to cats!!!! Despite being marketed for cats, it's toxic. I now have to give my cat medicine and she still is twitching. I cannot believe that not only can the company sell this medicine for cats but that a pet store can sell stuff that is known to be toxic to animals. I'm angry and I am not finished letting people know!

Do not buy Sentry Pro XFT Flea/Tick products. We purchased the flea treatment at PetSmart last night and applied it to our 9-month-old Golden Retriever. We left the house for a few hours and when we returned our poor puppy was a mess. He was crying, scratching like crazy, panting, and pacing back and forth. It was so sad. He wouldn't stop so we Googled info about Sentry Pro and were Horrified! This stuff is nothing but poison! There are hundreds of complaints and lawsuits. We wished that we looked up this crap of a product before applying it to our puppy. It also isn't FDA approved... Well its been over 24 hours and 6 showers with dish soap, vitamin E, ice packs and zero sleep for all of us. He finally is getting a little bit better. Please don't ever purchase this product and tell your friends and family how horrible it is. No animal should ever suffer like our poor Charlie has.

We used the Sentry Flea and Tick Squeeze On for Cats 24 hours ago. After 8 hours coming home from the office, I found my cat having ticks and unable to balance or walk. She was soaked all down the front. She was twitching horrifically. She tried to follow me down my stairs, ended up falling down the stairs and immediately having a seizure (never has happened prior). I was mortified, and immediately called the vet, was told to wash her in Dawn dish washing detergent to cut through the oil and then give her Benadryl. She was unable to eat, but I put her in front of her water bowl where she drank for literally 5 min. straight. Started looking up issues on the computer and unfortunately like the majority online, found horrific stories of liver failure, kidney failure, permanent central nervous system problems... death. I'm terrified she will be disabled or worse, die. I cannot believe this has been happening to pets for over 10 years and this product is still available? WHY? If this was happening to humans, it would be taken off the shelves IMMEDIATELY. Our entire family is devastated. My poor once happy active cat is now like a 100-year-old person stuck in a wheelchair. Please do something.

I just used Sentry flea medicine on my 80 pound dog about an hour ago. Probably like 10 minutes after using it she started acting crazy. Running laps in the living room, pacing back and forth heavy panting and just could not seem to get comfortable laying down. So I decided to Google this product and was completely HORRIFIED at what I found. I feel so terrible for putting my dog thru this for just an hour!! My fiancé and I gave her a bath immediately. All in all she only had it on for about an hour, and she already seems to be doing so much better now. I don't understand how a company can sell a product that causes so much damage to a dog so quickly. I will also be contacting PetSmart because one of their employees recommended this product to me. It needs to be taken off the shelves at ALL pet stores. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. It's basically death in a tube.

It was time to treat our year and a half old Shepherd/lab Zoey. She began biting at her legs and scratching constantly after about an hour. We thought visitors had brought fleas into our home after they had complained about having them at their house. I applied a very small amount to our year-old cat also to protect him as well. Zoey kept us up all night scratching and biting at her legs and back. Tiger (our cat) began having leg twitches and shaking them. He is trembling, his eyes are dilated, and he is shivering like he is in pain.

We are under tight budgetary constraints, so we bought Sentry flea repellent for my son's cat. My son applied the product between the shoulder blades, as instructed, and within a minute noted that our lovely orange monster was foaming at the mouth. We tried wiping the product off, but he started to foam up again... In the meantime, my son had googled and found this site. We used shampoo and cleaned the product off his shoulder blades and kept an eye on him, and he returned, slowly, to his own special breed of normalcy.

We put the Sentry Purrscription spray, within two minutes both cats were convulsing and foaming at the mouth. My husband immediately washed them both in the tub and I found this site. We are horrified and praying our little guys are going to be okay. The only things not hurt were the fleas. Why is this product on the market? Good vibes to all those affected by this awful product.

Sentry Pro XFT - I applied this medication to my puggle around 8:30 at night. At first she seemed fine. Then about an hour later she started itching and threw up. Before long she was beside herself. Couldn't seem to get comfortable... kept getting up, laying down, whining, repositioning, going in and out of the room. She also kept shaking like she was wet. I decided to google "my dog is acting strange after flea medicine" and Sentry Pro and all the reviews came up. I flipped out! At this point it was 2am but I threw her in the bathtub and scrubbed it off. This settled her down a bit for the rest of the evening, but tonight (almost 24 hours later) she is still a hot mess. Her ears are so red and inflamed. She is still shaking her head and body constantly. She is scratching and biting herself all over. Right now she is whining and seems like she is about to crawl out of her skin. :( My poor baby... I feel horrible that I did this to her!

I purchased Sentry Pro XFT and immediately, my 60 lb. pit bull ran around like crazy. I thought he just had to get use to it, but it's been 3 days now and his skin is still twitching!!! I also washed him twice with Dawn dish detergent and no relief. I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow. Hopefully they can help! This stuff is poison! Do not buy!!

I bought Sentry Fiproguard Max for my mother's two cats. Worst mistake I could have made. A few hours after application, the cats' eyes were so dilated, they looked like an owl's eyes. The cats were still scratching (like they still had fleas). The box claims the medication starts to kill fleas and ticks within an hour (NOT TRUE). Both cats have had explosive diarrhea since applying the medication. Both cats have stopped eating and drinking water after application. It has been 24 hours and they both still have diarrhea. We took baby wipes and washed the area of application and will probably have to take the cats to the vet in the morning if they are not any better. When cleaning the site of application, we noticed LIVE fleas. This is the worst product on the market and needs to be removed IMMEDIATELY. I do not recommend this product for ANYONE to use on their cats or dogs.

I have an 11-12 year old Torbie by the name of Pouncer who had been exposed to fleas. I went to PetSmart to get her some topical flea treatment and got her something called Sentry Fiproguard, which claims to contain the same active ingredient as a Frontline product. I gave her a bath with some cat shampoo that contains no parabins, waited for her to dry, and put the treatment on her as I normally do.

I bought Sentry Fiproguard at Petsmart because it was cheap and on sale. I used it on my cat on 7/23/2013. Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed my cat's lower lip swelling then his chin now his ears and eyes are swollen. I am taking him to the vet tomorrow. Please go to Facebook and look for lawsuit against Sentry. There needs to be a certain amount of complaints to file a class action lawsuit. This is just an evil act for a company to sell crap that is killing our fur children.

Within 30-45 minutes of applying to our 4 year old cat, she had a seizure. She was rushed to the vet. Spent 3 days at vet. Did not eat for 4 days. Over 1 week later, she is still having neurological/muscular problems but is eating and behaving more like herself. Do not use this product. It can be extremely dangerous.

Put on flea medicine on my cat, thought the package was for her because it had a cat on it. I have bad eye sight and the other package had nothing on it so I thought that was for the dog. Gave her the wrong medicine. She went into tremoring/twitching. Took her to the vet where she was given emergency care and that cost me $1150.00 for poAVor packaging. They should package the products saying dog and cat cents, it is poison and giving the wrong one to a beloved pet can kill. It should be packaged better. This happened on 7/27/2013 to 7/28/2013 at Coral Springs Animal Hospital 2160 University Drive Coral Springs, Fla 33071 (954)753-1800.

I used the Sentry Pro on my female St. Bernard and within 30 minutes she had become very agitated, heavy breathing, can't lay still, chewing at herself and crying. I gave her a bath with Dawn dish liquid but didn't seem to help. It has been 12 hours and my poor baby is still having these issues. This product needs to be taken off the market and for these stores selling the product knowing it is poison, they are just as guilty. I am so upset over this, I can't sleep either. I guess I will be up all night too trying to comfort my baby. This company should be sued. I bet they don't use it on their own pets.

Used Sentry All Natural Defense for cats and kittens - she started becoming lethargic, wouldn't eat, became anemic, rushed to vet. They took blood, her kidney levels were toxic. Spent over 2000 trying to save her. We lost her. I called Sentry number after Googling hundreds and hundreds of similar complaints against this product… complained to the department on phone. They then transferred me to the "medical review" department where the woman hung up on me.

Sentry Fiproguard - This is a prime example of getting what you pay for... Will never buy this product again trying to save a little money. My poor dogs are miserable. This crap is just that - crap... My dogs have never had fleas till we bought this product and now they're loaded with fleas. Don't waste your money and put your poor animals through this!!!

We started using Sentry Natural Defense on our 3 1/2 year old mid-size dog 4 months ago because she had been very listless and not eating well the first 2 days after her prescription drug treatment each month before Sentry. We tried several different brands, without success, since we got her as a puppy. Last year was our worst flea year ever and we started trying other natural products along with the monthly treatment to help her.

My family and I are on a budget like most people and trying to save a little money. We decided we would try Sentry instead of Frontline. That was the biggest mistake of my life. It made my dogs itch 10 times more. At first it was just one of them itching more and I thought, "Well, he's allergic to it or it's just dry skin." But now they're both miserable and making me a nervous wreck. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME ON THIS.

Miserable dog was jumpy and nervous, licking and scratching himself with dry heaves after I innocently applied the pesticide Sentry offers to "help" Cocker Spaniel avoid flea and tick problem. I tortured my dog unknowingly. How can this stuff be available when it is so harmful to pets? Beware!

I bought Sentry's Fiproguard Max for Cats in April. It was expensive at about $55.00. I used it on my two (2) cats for two (2) months, and it NEVER worked. My cats ended up with a very bad case of fleas, and I had a flea infestation that I am still trying to fight in my house. I have never had this issue with other brands. It was just that I was in PetSmart and saw this product. I still have two (2) vials which I have not used and won't. This product should be taken off the market as we, the consumers, are being taken for a ride! And it's a costly one, at that.

I used the 60-lb. dosage of Sentry Pro XFT on my 80-lb. Boxer/Pit mix, a BIG MISTAKE! He is scratching, fighting, shaking and can't get comfortable. After reading ALL the reviews online, I realized this is a NORMAL Side effect and could be FATAL?!! DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!! I am absolutely amazed this is legal. It is definitely not moral to sell! This company's CEO should be in jail!

Frank the cat started to foam at the mouth and became very inactive after spraying him today! Let's hope he snaps out of it! I will let you know.

Sentry Fiproguard - I used this product on my small dog. He has never had a flea problem with other products, but this product does not seem to work at all. In fact, I cannot tell a difference between NO treatment and the treatment effects. I ensured he was bathed and absolutely flea-free prior to application. However, within two days of treatment, he has fleas! Do they ATTRACT fleas? I am sorry I attempted to save a few dollars. Never again.

I used the SentryPro topical flea and tick treatment on my small breed dogs. One of my Shih Tzus had a toxic reaction. She stopped eating and drinking and was unable to walk or sit. I took her to the vet and her temperature had dropped to 99.8 deg. By this time, she wasn't even able to hold her head up. They gave her warm fluid treatments to combat the temperature drop and dehydration and IV meds to reduce the neurological effects she was having. We're waiting on the results of her blood work to see what damage has been done to her organs. I have to give her daily subcutaneous fluid treatments and to syringe feed her. At least, she's drinking and urinating now, but she's still unable to hold herself up. So far, the others haven't had a reaction, but I've washed it off of all of them anyway.

I spent right at $30 for flea and tick collars, but none of them work. I have had the collars on the animals for two weeks now, and they are not working at all. I would like a refund.

I am horrified at the reviews I have read about this product. I was advised to purchase it since I am on a limited income and I used a tube on my cat (1 year old) and one on my older cat (9 years old). I applied the medicine on Friday night and put them in the large bathroom so I could treat the rest of the house. They both got a little sick, but when I let them out, they seem fine. They are running around and playing and eating as normal and I can't locate a single flea. So for my money, I would say the product worked. My older cat is still scratching, but I can't find any fleas, so the vet said she may have some residual reaction from the bites and they may just be itching. Today is Monday and my son said she is not scratching as much as Saturday and Sunday, so she appears fine. I will be watching her as I cannot discount the previous reviews about what happened to the other pets that were treated with this product.

I have three dogs and two cats. I put Sentry flea medication on all five pets using the correct formula for each of the pets. My three year old Shitz Zhu was agitated all night and kept me awake because she could not stay in one place for more than ten seconds. One of my cats developed a sore where the medication was put on him. My dog recovered the next day but it took a full 24 hours. My cat still has the sore. It has been three days since I used the product. I threw out the packing so I can't say exactly which Sentry product it was, but it was for fleas and ticks.

I am furious with Sentry Purrscriptions. My husband and I decided to get it to save some money and used it on our indoor cat. Almost immediately after putting it on her, she began to shake really bad and acted as if it hurt for us to touch her. She could barely walk and she also started foaming at the mouth. I did some research and found that many cats have died because of this. I washed her immediately. She is eating a little, but she is still hot to the touch. If she dies, I will be suing the company and the store that we got the product from (PetCo).

I'm so mad that PetSmart is selling such bad and dangerous products for our dogs, especially for owners like me who do not research products that I believe are safe because PetSmart has them on their shelves. I gave my dog a flea and tick treatment. I never had any problem with Frontline. Soon after the application, my dog started to shake, itch all over his body and had difficulty breathing. It was scary. Of course, that happens during the evening when my vet is no longer reachable.

I can't believe that a product that can kill your beloved pet through its regular use is sold so readily, especially by trusted stores such as PetSmart! These people need to be sued. This past Saturday evening, I applied Sergeant's Sentry Purrscriptions Flea & Tick medicine to my 12-yr-old cat as instructed. A few hours later, I noticed that he did not come down for dinner. I found him in a crouching position, breathing very heavily and with widely dilated pupils. I used a wet washcloth to remove the medicine from his neck area and tried to give him water, which he would not take. When I was doing this, he was not reacting or responding to me calling his name and trying to catch his attention. His pupils were so wide and he looked like he was in shock.

I purchased Sentry PurrScriptions Plus for cats 5 lbs. and over and after two days of putting it on my two cats, one started losing fur really bad and is now bald on the spot and I know it is bothering him. He keeps trying to lick it. I will never buy this product again; it is not safe at all.

On Saturday, 05/18/2013, we purchased the above product (23-44 lbs) for our 9-year-old beagle. Within an hour, he suffered severe complications. He had a seizure (never had one before) and was crying. My husband called the vet. They told him to give him a bath as soon as possible; that gave no relief. We rushed him to the vet. Now, $158.74 later, the vet tells us this was a severe reaction to this product. He may have permanent neurological damage. They shaved the area where the product was placed. Now, our poor Snoopy has an antibiotic cream for the shaved area, an oral antibiotic, and steroids. Please be aware of these possible complications. They need to take this off the market!

I purchased it twice. Every time I use it, my cat loses her hair where I apply it! It takes about a month for it to grow back, and then I start all over again with the same results. I will not purchase it again!

I bought Sentry as a good alternative to chemical-based flea and tick control for 2-year-old male cat. I figured if these big chain stores sold this product, they would have done their research before carrying a death sentence in a box! I applied the solution as directed onto my cat; immediately he foamed at the mouth. He eventually stopped as my concern was growing. However he began to walk weird, lifting his paws almost like a clown on stilts. The solution was starting to spread further down his fur making it easier for him to lick at. After witnessing all this (about a one-hour period), I got on Google and researched the product and reviews. One review after another... my cat died using this product. My heart sank!

I washed my dogs with the flea shampoo and then put Sentry on my pets. I have gone through this round three times and my dogs still have fleas. What a waste of money! Sentry does not work! How many times do I need to bathe my dogs and put the medication on them for it to work? Sentry sucks!

I would not recommend this product to my worst enemy. I used flea and tick product on my 10-year-old male cat and 2-yearold male Siamese cat this weekend. Within hours they were not able to walk. They were shaking constantly, hallucinating, and my younger cat started having seizures and foaming at the mouth. This product needs to be taken off the shelf. If you do use this product by mistake, please quickly wash it off your pet with a mild dish soap and water. It seemed to have saved my babies. I continuously washed the area until it was gone. It took a good 72 hrs to where they were able to eat and walk again. It was an extremely scary situation. Once again, do not use this product. It's deadly.

Not only does it kills fleas and ticks, but also dogs. My dog is constantly scratching itself, and he did not sleep the whole night. He keeps crying and running around.

I put it on my indoor cat Bubbles just to be safe. Her hair started falling off where it was applied and she was bleeding because it burned her skin. Do not use this product! If you use this, your pet will suffer, you will have huge pet bills, and you could end up losing your pet. This should not be allowed to be sold.

This product should not be on the market. It made all three of my pets sick. Sentry made all three of my cats sick and sent one to the vet (where she still is currently). I applied it to all three of them on Saturday night. The fleas where we live have apparently developed an immunity to Frontline, and it no longer kills them all completely. We decided to try Sentry than the more expensive Frontline for the 5th month in a row. I noticed one of the male cats acting odd when I went to bed on Saturday night, but thought that he was just irritated about having the Sentry on his back.

Sentry Purrscriptions Plus made my cat's skin turn bright red, get irritated and hurt my cat. He keeps scratching at it and his fur comes out in clumps. I'm extremely dissatisfied and pretty worried about him.

My dog had a little white bug infestation and the product I was sold on by the store employees was Sentry Fiproguard Max. My cat had the bugs on him too, so I got the proper treatments for both. I applied the product to both and everything should be fine. I quarantined my cat for the 24+ hours in my room. On account, I have two cats and the other I was planning to treat when she came in. Luckily, I put it off. After a couple of days, my treated male cat seemed to have a stomach condition, has foam on the carpet, a little feces around the cat dish. He totally quit eating. A couple days more and he died suddenly.

This product does not work. I applied it to my dog two weeks ago (and made sure to rub it in to his skin and paws). He is still covered in ticks and he is itching more than normal. Normally if you apply Frontline, the ticks at least fall off and you find them on the floor. These ticks are still grasped on to him. I feel like I simply bought the dog an expensive deodorant. Aside from that, I am a little startled to find that the product was available for me to purchase at all. The customer complaints of pets dying, getting sick and this product not working go back four years and still this product remains on store shelves. There are not even any good comments to weigh out the bad, so again I have to wonder why was this product still on the shelves available for me to buy in October of 2012 anyway.

Please, if any of you have animals, this is a warning. Do not use Sentry products on your pets. My wife and I are on a limited income, and we tried to save money and talked with the people at our local pet store to see if there was a less expensive Top-Spot application than Frontline. The employee told us that Sentry products were safe, so we bought the Sentry Purrscription Plus (green box) for our cats. One cat became aggravated and nasty - wouldn't even let us pick her up to see what was wrong and the other developed UTI, became anemic almost immediately (you could tell by the white gums) and he would bite off pieces of his fur. By the time we got him to the vet, it was too late. They tried to reverse what the Top Spot application had done, but he died the next day. I feel horrible about this as I was the one that made the decision to go less expensive. Please do use these Sentry aka Sergeant's products on your pets. There are many sites online that have horror stories like mine regarding their pets.

I purchased and applied Sentry Fiproguard on my cat as directed. Within 24 hours, I noticed that she has lost her hair at point of application. I am in horror reading the stories of the other pet owners. Please do everything possible to get this product off the market.

The minute Sentry Pro XFT was put on my Cocker Spaniel-Bichon mix, she started going crazy and cried all night due to the pain. We washed her 3 times to no avail and had to take her to the vet. But the product continued to irritate her and cause extreme itching. Approximately one week later, she broke skin on the area and ended up with a huge open wound on her neck/back area that is approximately 2 in x 4 in. The wound got infected, and we had to take her to the vet again yesterday. As you can imagine, my dog is in extreme pain and has been suffering too long because of this dangerous product. I submitted a post regarding this on Pet Health Central's Facebook page (sponsored by Sergeant's), and they immediately deleted it. It appears from the numerous complaints that Sergeant's is fully aware of all of these issues and risks, yet they continue to market the product as safe and effective because they value profits more than the well-being of our pets.

I have two outdoor cats that need flea plus tick protection. I thought I did my homework and checked the active ingredient in Frontline with the new Sentry Fiproguard Max, since it was about half the price. I purchased it at Pet Supplies Plus for $74.98 per 6-pack. My cat has been treated with it for almost two weeks and still has live fleas daily. What a complete waste of money! I can't treat again for another two weeks. I'm calling for a refund. It's ridiculous. We went through all this years ago with Hartz and then Bio Spot. What a shame our pets have to suffer like this.

Last Thursday, we went out to get some flea medication for my two cats. He is on Social Security Disability and my job is ending in a few weeks. So, we asked an employee at PetSmart what she would recommend. She recommended the Sentry PurrScrtiption Plus saying that it worked as well as Frontline, which is at $62.00 a box. Sentry was $19.00 a box. I put the medication on the two of them that evening. The girl cat was dead that next morning by 7:30 AM and the other cat started getting sick a day later. By the time we got him to the vet, it was too late. They tried an antibiotic to reverse what the Sentry was doing to his skin, but it was too late. He died the next day in my husband’s arms. Please, please, do not use this product on any of your animals.

I own 13 cats and I found two fleas on one of the cats, but I ordered flea meds for all 13 to make sure that no one else got them. I treated them three weeks ago and I just noticed that there were red spots behind the toilet seat which is a telltale sign of flea eggs. I did a combing of all thirteen cats and they all but one has fleas; they are infested! The one who doesn't have them got the last tube of Frontline that we had from last time.

Do not use this product. After using this product on my cat, she began foaming at the mouth! I quickly washed off the formula and her symptoms improved. This product is harmful to animals and a waste of money.

Like many others, I saw this product was compared to the name brand flea/tick products. I went from three dogs and a cat with no fleas to a house and animals infested. My Wheaten chewed a chunk of hair off. I am waiting to hear back from my vet to see if I can retreat with Frontline or Advantage, products that actually work. I had to cancel grooming appointments because I was too ashamed to bring my dogs in. I will also have to bomb the house. Awful product.

I had purchased this product from Tractor Supply. I had put it on my poor cat and one day later, she started acting funny. Then by day 3, she was not moving much. I took her to the vet and she died. The vet told me that it was this flea medicine I put on her. I felt so bad as a pet owner, I thought I was doing a good thing but I did not. The end result for my cat was death. I adopted this cat from the SPCA. She was a healthy cat. I feel so bad. I wish I could have done research first, but I definitely won't put any more flea medication on any animals. My cat was part of my family and when I had to say goodbye was like ripping my heart out. So please don't use this product. I ended up with a dead cat, a vet bill and a cremation bill. RIP Bubbles. Sorry, I was stupid using this product. Baby girl loves you so much, but I am so sorry.

Sentry Fiproguard for cats - Following all directions, I applied the Sentry product to 3 cats. I was hardly done with the third cat when the first cat started foaming at the mouth. Foam poured onto the carpet! All 3 cats foamed at the mouth in the same order as I applied the medication. In a panic, I rushed each in turn to the kitchen sink and used paper towels to soak up as much of the insecticide from their fur as possible. I then poured water over the back and used more towels to dry them. No further symptoms were observed.

We have been having a major flea problem and financial problems. We bought Sentry Purrscriptions flea killer and I am seriously wondering if my cat died because of it. My 19 year old oriental short-hair died within a week of putting it on her. She was the one with the worst flea problems. She ended up having seizures. Eventually she was lethargic and couldn't eat or drink unless I fed her with a syringe. She is gone and now I wonder if I killed her. My other cat, my Maine Coon George, is sick now too. I can't take him to the doctor until we get paid on Friday. I bathed him a couple days ago, but my husband has been spraying it around to get rid of fleas on the couch, etc. If my other cat dies, I will die inside myself.

I have used Sentry Pro Toy Flea and Tick spray every day for a week and had the same result as if I had sprayed water on my dog. I paid good money for this product and it was money thrown away. I can't believe your company actually sells this product! It is a ripoff. After I finish this e-mail, I am going to Facebook and Twitter and let as many people as possible know what a scam and ripoff your company is. I can't believe that you are allowed to sell this product in the United States. It should be against the law!

I've used Frontline for years on my pets and I decided to go more natural. I purchased Sentry Natural Defense. The odor was so strong it gave me a headache, nausea and sinus problems within the 1st hour. If I were feeling like this, God knows how my dogs were feeling, considering their noses are a lot more sensitive. I left it on overnight. The next day, one of my dogs was very sensitive to my touch on the back, so I washed both of them thoroughly. I could still smell it, so I didn't apply anything else on them. Then my other dog started scratching (both of them really but one much more than the other) and hasn't stopped since then (22 days ago). I've bathed him quite a bit to get that smell off but to no avail.

I purchased your product to save a little money. I have in the past been a committed Frontline user. Times are tough financially so I unfortunately decided to save some money and go with your product (Sentry). I applied the proper dosage to all my Chihuahuas, ranging from 3 1/2lbs to 11lbs. Within a day, Jax, my 11-lb boy started chewing himself until he had raw and bleeding spots all over his back side. By the next day, I noticed his lips were raw and swollen, and in the night, he had scratched his right eye until it was raw and swollen. I started giving him Benadryl and things, he slowly stopped the all consuming scratching and biting. I took him to the pet supply store where I purchased your product and upon looking at him and me explaining what was happening, they immediately exchanged the unused portion for what I should have originally bought, which was Frontline.

I recently had two of my family pet cats die from Sergeants Sentry Purrscriptions Plus flea treatment for cats. They were both poisoned by the product, in which I followed all of the directions. The product killed our family pets and I reported it to Tractor Supply where I purchased the products and to Sergeants. Both told me that if I had the original purchase receipt, they would consider reimbursing me for the product. Both were not interested in the loss of the animals. There is no recourse for the consumer who is basically their test facility and R&D department for these pet products. They sell the product, which is basically not regulated because it is for animals and not humans (the FDA told me they were not interested either) and to contact the EPA because it is a pesticide.

My cat is dying after using your treatment. I used the Sentry flea meds on my cat and a couple of days afterwards, her ears were all raw, she started foaming at the mouth and throwing up, and having diarrhea. I am a student on a fixed income and trusted your company. Now, my cat could possibly die and I cannot afford to get her treated. I will be joining the class action lawsuit against your company for my cat’s illness or death.

I am a senior citizen on a limited budget. However, my dogs needed something good and strong, for this is a bad flea year. So I sacrificed and bought your product (Fiproguard Max). I bought two boxes from Petco. I have two dogs. But when I opened the box, one tube was bone dry and the other had only two drops in it. I had to use two more vials and I am not sure if there is any left in them. Could you please help me out?

I have been using the Fiproguard for Cats and Dogs, going on three months! The cats are covered in fleas; the dog, not so bad but has fleas also! I have never had a flea issue with seven cats and two dogs. They are treated the first of every month!

I put Sentry FiproGuard Max for Cats on 4 adult cats and all four lost their fur and have burn marks on their skin where I applied.

Sentry Home and Carpet Spray/Shampoo - I went out of town for Easter and had to put my dog outside for 4 days. When I came home and brought him in, he was covered in fleas, and my house became contaminated. I went to the store and bought Sentry Shampoo and a competitor's carpet and upholstery spray. I used the spray, and it did wonders. I could see the fleas instantly dying on the carpet and entryway as I sprayed. I then bathed my dog with the Sentry shampoo. Not one flea died on him. I went back to the store and bought another bottle of carpet spray, but this time, bought the Sentry one because it was $1 cheaper and I figured the other one worked so well, might as well save a penny. Wrong! Like the shampoo, it didn't do a ** thing.

I used Sentry Flea & Tick Squeeze-on on my dog on 3/18/12. I watched him continue to get ate up by fleas until I could not stand it anymore and contacted this number, 1-800-244-7387. I was told that it would be okay to apply a second dose to my dog, which I did on 4-2-12. Today's the 6th and he still has live fleas on him. This product does not work and you should be ashamed to sell it to the public!

I applied Fiproguard to my dog who reacted bad, hives, itching, vomiting, no eating. It was treated with steroids and fluids by my vet. Sentry told me on the phone no other reported cases and to wash her with Dawn dish soap and vitamin E. I looked into ingredients which is over 90% Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether and turns out according to EPA website when it was registered, no further studies were done because of the unlikely humans would come in contact and it was used as an additive to jet fuels and as a deicer.

I put Sentry flea medicine on my female cat today at 12:30PM. By 1:00PM, 3/22/12, she was panting, eyes were dilated so I immediately washed the area and called the vet. They told me to bring her in right away. They gave her a shot around 4:30 and at 7:48PM, she is still acting strange. I gave her another dawn bath and I am waiting to see if I need to take her to ER. This flea product should not be sold. After reading all the cats that have died from this products, it should be off the market. Shame on you Hartz!

I applied Sentry PurrScriptions Plus as per the directions on the box to my 9-year-old male cat Cosmo at 10am today. Immediately, he did not like it on his neck, constantly trying to lick at it. About an hour later, he was acting very grumpy, I assumed because he didn't like that I put a foreign substance on him. I checked the application site, and there wasn't any redness or indication of irritation.

I bought FiproGuard for dogs and my dog had a reaction of itching and red spots. I bought it and thought it is the same as the expensive brand for fleas, etc. I am very disappointed in this product and will tell friends not to use it. It’s a waste of hard-earned money to protect my pet. Thank you.

I purchased this product, and used it once or twice as directed, without a problem on my kitten and adult cat. On the 2nd or 3rd use, I applied it in the afternoon, and by midnight, my kitten (7 months old) was scratching wildly at her back. We saw that her fur had burned (2nd degree burns to red flesh). We rinsed it with temperate water for several minutes, and she continued to scratch, and act as if she was being tortured for days.

On December 14, 2011 I gave my cat, Angel Baby, a bath with Sentry Natural Defense flea shampoo for cats. Angel was a healthy approximately four-year-old cat who I love endlessly. As per the instructions I left the stuff on her for 5 minutes and then rinsed and dried her off. As I rinsed the tub, I heard her cry and then she cried again. I looked out into the bedroom and there she lay limp and dying.

I purchased a Powzer Flash-N-Dash Ball that is supposed to flash on impact. However, the ball does not flash so I returned the product.

I moved into a small house with my significant other at the time. We had talked about getting a pair of cats, and after short period of moving in, we adopted 2 kittens. The house had a few problems with poor floor trim, resulting in minor ant infestations. Ants were a small problem that wound up getting resolved, but within a few months the cats developed fleas. Instantly, I reacted and bought Sentry Flea Formula at a local store. I did not read reviews and assumed this product was decent because it was a major brand; I was horribly wrong. I applied the liquid formula as instructed to the back of both cats’ necks. Both cats were obviously aggravated by their matted fur, but I assumed it was temporary and went to bed, albeit slightly anxious.

I have treated my home 4 times and working on number 5 tomorrow. I have used Frontline on both my dog and cat for the past 6 months and still have a flea infestation in my home. I've used Talstar and capstar and everything else I can think of to get rid of these fleas and still have them. I even doubled the product Talstar last time and still have fleas oh and I also used Borax on my floors and have treated every square inch of my home and guess what, I still have fleas! Is there and address for Frontline? Cause I sure would like it to send them an itemized list of what it has cost me so far to use their product that doesn't work! I'm really getting tired of these fleas and think maybe I should send them some with their boxes of Frontline that doesn't work. Sure think they would still be alive when they received them.

Sentry flea treatment for cats. Application of one tube every thirty days. Unfortunately, I cannot afford the higher costing flea treatments and I can't afford to take my cats to the vet (each visit is usually over 100.00 a whack.) My work has been affected by the recession and I virtually have no money. Both cats have different reactions, including irritated skin, fur loss and discharge from their mouths. It is extremely toxic and we can't seem to get rid of the fleas. It has caused a type of dermatitis to them both. Their eyes water and they are hiding. Worst of all, this product doesn't work.

Sixteen hours after applying one dose of Sentry Purrscriptions, according to the manufacturer's directions, to my 11 lb. 1 1/2 year old cat she began trembling, seizing, pupils were dilated, she was biting multiple clumps of fur out, lethargic eye movement, vomiting and diarrhea. After speaking with my vet, I was advised to bring her in immediately.

I applied Sentry PurrScriptions to both of my adult cats. The one is fine with 1 star rating. The other one is having major problems. He's showing signs of Neurological trauma, hallucinations, agitation, bloody stool, and aggression. The emergency clinic advised us to wash him which we did but has not helped. He continuously bites/scratches himself, bloody eyes darting all over the place and he's biting at the air. We are advised to watch him over 24 hours for signs of convulsions or seizures which means system failure.

For the first time ever, I saw a flea on my dear, sweet little Cockapoo, Ella Mae. I went to Pet Smart to look for a flea shampoo to use. The sales clerk highly recommended the Sentry Flea and Tick Oatmeal Shampoo. I used it as directed and Ella Mae went crazy. She started itching, scratching, and biting herself worse than before. I knew it had to be that poisonous shampoo.

I found a few fleas on my female cat and went to pet supplies here in Michigan. I picked up the spray, thinking it would be easier than bathing my kittens and also with the prescriptions squeeze on. I used the spray, and instantly, both my cats started acting strange. They both started foaming at the mouth and their eyes rolled in the heads.

After using this product on my three cats to treat a minor flea problem (ages 8 months, 1, and 2), one of them, the one-year old, received a bad chemical burn to the back of the neck. It caused his skin to flake and a lot of the hair to pull out very easily. I didn't use it very much, but only applied it to his neck, as the flea bath the week before seemed to work for the rest of the body (of course I didn't want to wash their face with it, so the fleas seem to flock there). He had the most fleas and I barely used it on the others who seem to be fine. After seeing the effectiveness of this product versus the potential risk, it definitely isn't worth buying. The essential oils in the product are toxic to cats and really should be avoided.

Our dog got a bad toxic burn due to use of their oatmeal flea and tick shampoo. The dog was in severe pain and their product caused serious illness to it.

I purchased two, three-pack of Fiproguard for cats. This product claims it contains similar ingredients as that of Frontline. However, after 12 days my flea problem became much worse. I'm not sure if Sentry doesn't use the correct dosage of Fipronil. In addition, I worked at a veterinary hospital for two years and I never had one customer complain that Frontline did not work for them. My cats are indoor, they have zero exposure to the outside. My environment was free of fleas, that is to say, the fleas were restricted to the pets.

My cat became ill after using Fiproguard for cats. He would not move and would just lie on the couch all night. There is an obvious problem with this medicine, and it should only be dispensed by a veterinarian and reviewed much closer by the government.

In reference to my previous review, I meant to state that I had my cat, Buttons, since he was four weeks old, not just since four weeks ago. This is why I am so heartbroken about him being murdered by this product.

I've had my cat since 4 weeks ago, who was 13 years old and in a pretty decent condition. He just had a physical exam a few months ago and the doctor said he was in good condition considering his age. Our three cats had a minor flea problem. They are inside cats, they had not had fleas since they were tiny. They did have flea collars, but they had expired without us knowing. We called PetSmart to see what else we could do aside from cat collars to deal with the problem. PetSmart told us to bathe them and de-flea them. We had de-flead a homeless cat before with Frontline. We went to the store to look for Frontline, had none, so they said the other stuff would be fine. So we picked up the Sentry Purrscription Flea for Cats and Kittens. We came home and applied it to our three cats, who are 13, 7 and 4. These are well-cared cats, who regularly get their immunizations, and who are all neutered and spayed. We applied it to the 13-year old first and decided to watch him closely because he was older, and it said on the box that older cats can sometimes have a slight adverse reaction.

I noticed my cat had picked up fleas from a hotel we were staying at. I went to the nearest PetSmart to get some flea medicine, and Sentry PurrsScriptions Plus was all they had left for adult cats. As soon as the liquid flea formula touched her skin, she seemed to be uncomfortable. After a few hours go by, she began hissing at the air, chasing after nothing, and itching worse than she did before. It was obvious that she was being irritated where the Sentry was put on her. I found this website and saw other people having the same horrible results, and that people said to wash the cat in Dawn dish soap. I did that as well as possible, and it immediately seemed to help.

Three of our five cats developed severe chemical burns. I told PetSmart, and they said that no one else has complained about this product. After reading some of your reviews, I find that impossible.

I had decided to use this product on my Bengal cat after he had minor reactions to chemical-based flea medications. That night, he started acting very strange, freaking out at nothing and running around. I didn't think about the flea meds, since it was also the 4th of July and I figured he was freaking out at all the loud noises.

Search "Lawsuit against Sentry Pet Care" on Facebook if one of the products made by this company has hurt your pet. If enough of us band together, we can file suit against Sentry.

I bought a Sentry "natural" flea and tick product to treat my dog. After the recommended dosage was applied, my dog began to have a negative reaction to this product. Over the next day or so, she began scratching uncontrollably and appeared very agitated (something she was not doing before the application). I bathed her in dish soap to remove the product and the scratching stopped. In addition to my dog's discomfort, this product did not kill or repel any fleas – the bath in dish soap removed the fleas.

I bought some "Sentry Purrscription Plus" flea and tick medication for cats and kittens, and proceeded to apply it to my 6 year old long haired cat as per the directions. My cat immediately reacted as if it were causing serious discomfort. He has started to act really strange and goes from sketchy to dispondent and lethargic. He started chewing on himself even more as if the fleas got worse. He has lost hair in little spots around where I applied the product on the back of his neck. He has had continuous diareha, although he is eating and seems to be drinking a lot of water which is good. It has been over a week now and he still isn't right.

We used SENTRY PurrScriptions Plus Flea & Tick Squeeze-On on our 4-year-old cat in April 2011. She was lethargic and "spacey" for a few days, and was obviously bothered by the medication on her back, itching, etc. We forgot the next month, but applied again June 30, 2011 (yesterday). Within minutes she was acting very strangely, spacey, hissing at toys, afraid of us. For a cat that is usually all over you for attention, being scared and jumpy with us is a sure sign something was wrong.

I purchased this at PETCO for my cat and applied it as directed on the packaging. Everything was fine, although, his fur had the product on it for five days. On the fifth day, it seemed gone. Yay! Until a few hours later, his skin became red and irritated. Now, he is missing some fur and he appears lethargic. I have washed the area, but I am scared that he will get sicker.

I have used this product for a few months on my 2-year old pit bull/lab mix. I always noticed right after that she would act a little different, but nothing alarming. I assumed that it would be the case with any chemicals I put on the dog. Last night, I applied the medication on her back. I forgot and started petting her when she was on the couch next to me. I then had my entire hand covered in the product. I immediately washed my hands 3 times, followed by a few rounds of hand sanitizer and thought I was clear.

Purchased at Petsmart and it was recommended by an employee. I put it on my 1 year old Shih Tzu and within minutes, she started acting like she is on fire. I realized she was having a reaction and quickly bathed her, then I called the hotline for help. I was told to bathe her. I did. Emergency Vet Clinic said to give her Bendryl, so I did. She is acting like she is on fire. She cannot sit still for even a second. She is whining and crying out in discomfort. I got online and there are hundreds of people that have had the same problem. So, what makes this product still able to be sold?

My cat suffered a major stroke after putting PurrScriptions Squeeze on For Cats and Kittens. He died later that day. The symptoms leading up to it were hair loss, lethargy, hiding, unresponsive and drooling. After the "stroke," he was listless, crying and couldn't eat or walk. 218.

A person, who left me their cat and child to raise, left the product prescriptions Squeeze On for Cats and Kittens Flea Control from Sentry, also to use as needed on her cat. My family had just gotten a kitten 2 months earlier. When the new cat came in our home, our new kitten got fleas. The person had left the Sentry product with 2 applications left in box. I read the directions carefully and really went over precautions again and again before applying it to my kitten. He was so infested that it needed treating.

I bought Sentry PurrScriptions Plus Squeeze-On Flea and Tick Control for Cats and Kittens. The product has caused irritated skin, caused muscle spasms, increased temperature with two treated animals. One required trip to emergency vet to receive muscle relaxers and IV drip. Several days later, symptoms still exist. Over $200 in veterinary bills so far. Animals are not the same, still twitching and hiding.

I bought this product for my dog, who is 7lbs. I bought the toy breed which is for 4 to 10 pound dogs. Within 30 minutes of applying it just as the package instructed she began to vomit, soon after the tremors kicked it, and she just wouldn't respond to me. She seemed so freaked out by touch or whenever we would talk to her. I called the emergency number on the back of the packaged and opened a case with them and I was instructed to bath her in dish soap. I did this, and she continued to throw up.

We were referred to the Sentry Pro Squeeze On Flea and Tick Control by a Petsmart employee who stated that it was the same as Frontline, but cost much less. We had never used the product previously but since we were in the process of a move, money was a bit tight and we decided to give it a try. Last night (8/18/2010) we applied the product according to the package directions, applying it between the shoulder blades of our 3 year old Italian Greyhound, Louie. We made sure to place it where he would not be able to lick it off. We didn't notice anything wrong as the evening progressed and went about the business of getting ready for bed. There was a noise from the bedroom where Louie was and we rushed to see what was going on.

Within an hour of putting the Sentry Pro XFC, one of my miniature schnauzers started vomiting and drooling excessively, and then became very lethargic. She is only a year old and normally a very active dog. I let her outside for a few minutes to go potty, and she just sat on the patio drooling and acting as if she couldn't move at all. I picked her up to bring her in and she felt extremely warm. I laid her on the sofa and kept wiping her down with a cool, damp rag. She could barely hold her head up, and I thought she was dying.

I purchased the Sentry Pro flea treatment for my dogs. Within minutes of giving it to each of them my 2 yr old Pyrenees started itching and trying to bite her back fiercely. She became very lethargic, vomited a few times and developed a hot spot/lesion about 8 inches in length. I washed as much of it off as I could however it is very hard to remove. I had to treat her back with soothing topical salves for 2 weeks.

I purchased this product, came home to apply on both my poodles. Less than an hour later, they looked as if they were drugged. They were panting, crying, hyper, could not sit still, scratching themselves, looked terrible. They ran around as if they were on fire!! There has been no sleep for either of them for 2 days. No food and I have to bottle feed them so as not to dehydrate. This product is junk and it is lethal. This company should be closed. These products are really damaging to dogs. The stress and uncomfortable feeling they are having is out of control. I feel as if there is nothing I can do. They cry when you pet, they are walking like zombies because of no sleep; they lay down and have to get back up. It is terrible. I am thinking of taking this company to court. This is disgraceful.

I purchased Sentry Pro XFC on 6/26/2010. I applied it to my 3 dogs according to the directions on the box. Within an hour, they were acting as if they needed to jump out of their fur, whining as they tried to rub the product off and crying as if in pain if I touched them. They were very uncomfortable, unable to sit or lay, rubbing against any and everything to try to get the product off. One even went out to roll on the gravel drive. Only after a cool bath, being washed in Dawn detergent and getting Benadryl, did they begin to show signs of relief, though 2 days later, they still were not back to normal.

I purchased the Sentry Pro flea product for both of my dogs. It just did not work. I applied it, and as of today, 4 days later, they are still scratching just like before. I am going to return this product back to Pet Smart and get a refund. I just wanted to let you know this is a product that does not work. I am going back to using the Frontline or the advantage as I have used in the past.

I accidentally used this on my cat when the medicine is for a dog, and it almost killed him. What kind of medicine almost kills an animal that is for them? Yeah, I know it wasn't meant for him, but dogs and cats are similar. When I used it on my dog one time, it didn't even work. The fleas were still there. Flea medicines are supposed to kill the fleas, not kill your pet. My cat started having seizures. He could possibly have brain damage because of this.

I recently bought some of the SentryPro XFC flea and tick product to apply to my two dogs--a poodle and schnauzer. I followed the directions as stated to apply to the shoulder area. Afterwards, both dogs are having reactions to the product. After about an hour of applying it, both of them were running around acting very hyper. Then, after awhile, they were just sitting there but still panting heavily. I did not make the connection yet that this product was the reason for the panting. We had applied this in the evening so we went to bed after a couple of hours.

I applied this product as directed and it made my shiz tzu very sick. She immediately rolled around trying to rub it off, and she ran around as if stung by a bee. She was frantic to get the product off.

Used Sentry Pro XFC on my tiny dogs, and they have the same reaction as every other dog here. My vet told me there is pretty much nothing that can be done, just to wait it out. It's been since Thursday night. I'm lost for words on this. The manufacturer told me that this was a rare case. I'm getting lawyer ASAP.

On April 15, 2010, I applied Sergeant's Sentry Pro XFC flea and tick squeeze on for dogs as directed to my Shitzu. About an hour later, I noticed that he was drooling a lot. I called to him but he did not respond. This is normally a very active, energetic dog, so when I noticed his extreme lethargy, I became concerned. He continued to drool and loll about while my family and I finally figured out what caused his symptoms -- the Sentry Pro XFC that had just been applied.

After losing my job I was forced to purchase a cheaper brand of tick and flea medicine in order to properly still treat/prevent for this upcoming summer. I purchased Sentry Pro XFC at Petco. This product is out on the floor, middle of the walking aisle as if I'm dumb as to walk by it and not purchase it after all the signage the product puts out. I applied the 10lb drop to my 4 peekapoms and 1 115lb german shepherd.

I purchased this product from PetSmart today (4/6/10), and my husband put this on our pug around 5PM. I was at work. He had errands to run and when he returned home 1 - 1 1/2 hour later, our dog was having problems breathing and had messed and peed in our house. This is something she never does. Dora is 6 years old and is a great family member. I had heard about problems with the flea and tick product from a friend of mine and was concerned about using them this year, but I had great success with them in the past.

I bought this to control fleas and ticks on my dog, and after about 3 or 4 hours, he was shaking, scratching, biting his paws, and whining. I have to rub his ears, or he will cry. I have lost sleep for 2 nights, and I have to take him to the vet on Monday! I am a very upset owner, and my dog is suffering from this product! I lost money for the Sentry product and vet bills!

On March 16th, 2010, I purchased Sentry Pro XFC from a Petsmart in San Diego, Ca. I put this medicine on my dog at 8:30pm that night and within 1 1/2 hours, she was twitching and could not stop, walking around in circles, whining and her right rear leg moving going up and down. She then started panting and breathing so hard. You could see her heart racing so fast and I thought my dog was going to go into a cardiac state and the rapid movement scared me to death. I decided to take her to the ER vet since mine was closed. They gave her charcoal and IV fluids but no changes.

I purchased an electronic safe from them about 4 years ago and I always had problems with lock combination. Many times, I had to call a locksmith at my own expense because Sentry Safe would not support me to fix it. Their safe cannot be trusted if it has to break down all the time when I have my important belongings inside.

I purchased this product from PetSmart and applied it to my two dogs, lab and boxer. That evening, the lab experienced neurological side effects. His body jerked every 15 seconds. I took him to the vet the following day. We called the 800 number on the package and were given instructions to bathe both dogs in dish soap, apply vitamin E oil and cold compresses to the application area. The following day, my boxer experienced uncontrollable leg jerking. These issues are resolving but I would never purchase this product and suggest it be pulled off the shelf.

My dog had a terrible allergic reaction to an application of SentryPro XFC. He paced for 30 hours straight, scratched and was biting his paws uncontrollably. I had to bring him bring to the vet and incurred a bill of $125. He was given a muscle relaxer and a med to counteract the SentryPro. It was a terrible experience. I am very glad though that he didn't die as I have read a few documented cases of dogs and cats that have died from this same medication.

I applied this to a family pet tonight. How is this poison still being sold? He is dry heaving and very nervous. As soon as I put the product name in Google, all the negative stuff started hitting the screen. We are only hours into this and giving baths with Dawn, trying to get this stuff out of his system. Shame on this company. Shame on you.

I purchased the Sentry Natural Defense Flea Spray for my cats. I bought this product because it said it was all natural and safe for animals and was recommended at my local pet store. I went home to spray this on my cats. I have two 3-month old kittens and a 12-year old cat. As soon as I attempted to spray the kittens, they both started sneezing and ran away. The smell is potent and spicy so I thought I would get them later. I then went on to my older cat and rather than spray him, I decided to spray my hands and rub it on his body.

I usually use Frontline, but was in a pinch. I bought Sentry Pro XFC flea and tick killer for my dog Noodles. He began scratching and couldn’t sit still. About 48 hours later, his hair and skin was completely burned off at the back of his neck where the product was applied. The medical hotline number on the back of the package was no help at all. I ended up taking him to my vet. They gave him steroid shots along with an antibiotic shot and burn medication. I can’t get a collar on him to even walk him. My poor little guy was in severe pain for days. Do not ever use this product! I cannot believe they are still permitted to sell this product. Please take this off the market!

I bought the Sentry Natural Defense Spot-Ons for my dogs and cat because the product was "all natural". I thought it would be a better choice for them than the usual pesticides treatment. I applied the spot-on to my dogs in my grooming shop. Within minutes, a small dog that was in a kennel waiting for its owner to pick up couldn't breathe and was struggling for each breath and had to be taken outside. My pit mix was crying and rolling on the ground trying to get the stuff off. She ended up with hiccups all night and morning (12 hours worth), had an eye discharge and was just laying around moaning/groaning as if she had a bad headache.

I just got back from the vet because my one-year-old husky had an awful reaction to this stuff. I applied it over the weekend and about 2 days later, I noticed some clumping on her fur and she was continuously scratching. At the time, I did not think anything about it. A few more days went by and I started to notice that she was becoming bald in the spot that I had applied it to. It also smelled really bad. I kept washing it to try and make it clean, as much as the poor little girl would let me. She was obviously in pain. Today, I took her to see the vet and they shaved the surrounding area and gave me a stack of meds to help her. But all that I can say is never give this to your pet! I should have gone with Frontline like I usually do. Whatever is in this stuff is just evil and should be removed from shelves.
