Sergeant's Reviews

The flea collars don't work. My cat is acting like he can't walk, he won't eat. And I still have to deal with the fleas. After I take my poor cat to a vet.

I'm pissed about this product and was scared for my cat. After I applied Sergeant's gold Flea and tick meds she started vomiting, shaking, and acting incredibly bizarre. She was drooling and hiding. We rushed her to the ER. While we were there, there was a woman in the ER with a very large dog - for the second night in a row after giving her dog Sergeant's Flea medication for dogs. I spoke to the vet about how it was even possible for it to be on the shelves - they told me they've been fighting for years to get it removed. I started a petition to ask Kroger as one of the world's largest retailers, I think it would be great if they are the first to remove this product from the shelves.

I bought the flea and tick drops. Three days later the skin on both of my dogs' backs is coming off and infected. Took one of my dogs to the vet because she is worse than my puppy. It was $260 for the vet bill. She is very sick.

We put the flea and tick squeeze-on on three of our cats. The next day one had excessive drooling. I found my other cat and she was having SEIZURES. This stuff caused my cat to be stuck in a seizure. They said the active ingredient in this stuff isn't safe for most cats. They don't tell you on the box how it works and that there is a small range of cats that can handle the medicine. My cat could not handle it and we had to rush her to the animal hospital. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

So I bought this product both for my little pup, and my big dog. I proceeded to give them a bath and dry them thoroughly to make sure no fleas were on them before applying. I followed the directions. Not even 2 hours later my small pup had twice the amount of fleas on him than he did before I gave him a bath! I was very confused. So I took a flea comb got them all off. The next morning I wake up to check on my babies and boom! What do ya know more fleas! I am very disappointed in this product. My big dog has fleas as well but not as many as my pups.

I bought this flea medication, and used it on my 5 yr old cat for the first time ever. The next day he was shaking, twitching, foaming at the mouth and couldn't even walk without falling over. I immediately bathed him in dawn dish washing liquid twice, letting it sit on the back of his neck for minutes at a time. Then gave him water with a baby medicine dropper for the whole evening and thru the night, flushing it out of him. Thank god what I did helped, and by the next morning he was so much better. And it has been 3 days now, and he is now back to playing and being himself. It was not until we noticed him being ill from it that my boyfriend looked it up for reviews and seen this page. I just want to share what I did for him, because I know it is what saved his life, and maybe it will help someone else whose cat has this reaction to it. I will never use that stuff again.

Never ever use this on your pets. I put this on my cat and not 5 mins later my cat was foaming at the mouth. I tried my best to wash this off with soapy water a couple of times. I pray to god that my cat is ok. Nature's guardian. They pick the wrong name. By no means is this nature's guardian. More like hell's nightmare. This company should be ashamed of themselves. There should be a way of getting this stuff off the market. I wish I had checked the reviews on this before using it. Please whatever you do, do not use this product.

I decided to buy over the counter flea and tick for my dog who's a Dalmatian instead of the normal flea and tick preventative I get from my vet. Within a few hours of applying it, my dog started acting crazy hyper running around the house. His lips, ears, around his nose, belly, and the area the application was applied was bright pink! I immediately washed him with Dawn soap twice! I've been giving him Benadryl to help with the itching. It's been a little over 24 hours now and he's whining because he's so itchy. I went to the store and returned this crap!!! I feel terrible and will never buy over the counter again!! Especially this brand!! I will be calling Sergeant's tomorrow!

I have used Sergeant's brand for ten years now, their flea drops and their sprays and I have never had an issue. They've worked great to me for my dogs and cats and kittens for years and still do... I think possibly some animals may have allergic reactions to it or accidentally ingest it and that may be what causes all of issues I read about, but so far for the last ten years I have had no issues whatsoever.

I bought the regular sergeant's flea drops for behind the neck for my dogs. It did nothing. I bought the silver and boom fleas are dead. Just read reviews though so I'm watching my dogs carefully and have dawn dish soap on hand and my vet's number on speed dial.

I used the tick and flea shampoo on 6/25/15. By time I had finished bathing all 7 puppies, born 12/4/14, the 1st 1 had started to get sluggish/zombie like then within 30-1 hour of each started too. Either with vomiting or loose stools. Started giving water and sugar water, to keep dehydrated. Thursday through Saturday. By Friday mid morning had 2 doing better. By Saturday night all but 1 was still not, still vomiting, but less often, loose stools. During Friday and Saturday I kept bathing the puppies with Dawn soap. Had to leave Sunday. By time I got back it home the 1 puppy had died.

My 2 yr. old cat has lost all his hair along his back. When I put on the flea treatment within a few hours his hair started to fall off and he had become almost immobile. I hurriedly washed him off with Dawn and while drying him almost ALL his hair was coming off in the towel. He recovered within about 4 hours but his hair has NOT started to grow back. He is a tough little guy but it appears he is now going to be bald because of this. HOW do we make this a big enough issue to get this company shut down?? This site is good for tip offs but as much destruction as this company is causing should be the cause to have them cut off from sales completely.

My mom bought this from Wal-Mart after a friend recommended it to her. I applied it anyway but I started becoming skeptical after seeing my cat behaving strangely. Then I found the reviews on this site and I immediately gave him a bath about an hour after applying it. So far my cat is doing better and I hope it stays that way. This product may kill fleas but it can also kill your pet.

Normally I use Advantage or Frontline flea medicine on my cat with no problem. I got a free sample of the Sergeant's flea prevention drops. So I put it on my cat. Later that day she starts foaming at the mouth, jerking and twitching. At first I didn't realize that was what was making her sick. She wasn't acting herself and I was scared. Took her to the vet and he said that it was the Sergeant's. I can't believe it's still on the market. Hope I get my old cat back. Do not use this product!!

I put Sergeant's flea drops on my cat. She started acting sluggish, wasn't playing, won't eat. I will never use this stuff again. It sucks!!!

I bought Sergeant's dual action flea collar for my cat today. After about 10 minutes she started getting irritated. After an hour or two of being around her I got a bad headache and she got very sleepy and kinda weak. After 5 hours I was getting disoriented and realized if I'm experiencing this from being a couple feet away what's happening to her. I cut it off and poured water over her neck. About 5 minutes later she seems better. Do not buy this product. Yes it kills the fleas but it slowly kills you and your cat in the process.

I used Sergeant's flea and tick shampoo on my Beagle BG. The next day I noticed a bald spot about the size of a dime on her back. I ran cold water and Dawn over her hair and the spot kept getting bigger. I ran her to the emergency vet - they took her back. I was scared. They came out 30 min later and had me go into her room. Half of her back was bleeding and hairless. We had to spend a lot of money to save my baby. I sent the bill, vet diagnosis and the rest of the shampoo to Sergeant's. They sent me a letter apologizing for the inconvenience and a box of toys. That's it. I almost lost her and a box of toys was going to make it better?

I used Sergeant's silver squeeze on for cats over 5lbs (our cat is well over) three days ago now. But as of yesterday she has been admitted to the vet's fighting for her life due to pyrethrin toxicity.... I just talked to the doctor and things are not looking good! This pesticide is so harmful some exterminators refuse to use it TO KILL BUGS AND PEST SO HOW CAN IT BE OKAY TO PUT ON MY CAT? I asked the vet if it was on the label and I just wasn't seeing it as I've read it a dozen times at least. Her answer was it's listed as "other ingredient" but no it does not say they used it.

I purchased this product/pet treat for my dog because it had no other country of origin on the label; only a US Flag/Made in USA, and a US address "Manufactured by: Sergeants in Omaha, NE". This product is unsafe and nearly killed my dog. On the 4th day of receiving one of these treats per day, he began vomiting and heaving. Not being sure what the cause was, the vet advised 10 mg tablet of famotidine to settle his stomach and small amounts of water or ice cubes, but all came back up, several times. And fearing dehydration, I took him to the animal hospital, as it was after hours and all vets were now closed. Upon examination chunks of the undigested treat were found in his stool.

My dog is sick vomiting and crying. Bathed him numerous times. My face is burning and tingling. I'm disgusted, angry, sick, upset, furious... I cannot believe this junk did this. My dog better be OK so God help them.

My 6 year old cat started foaming at the mouth within 10 minutes of application. I had to start washing her immediately with Soap and Water!! Keeping a very close eye on her. Very concerning and Not recommending!!

My dog has a flea & tick problem & I have a special medication for her. I ran out & can't get to it until next weekend so I decided to use this. I used this 3 times & something told me to check the reviews. This nearly hurt my dog. I am pissed they are selling this! My chihuahua started wheezing & even threw up. I immediate washed her off again to not only calm the flea & ticks but to wash this ** off. If my dog had died, a lawsuit would have followed!!!

I bought Sergeant's Gold liquid ampules and used it where directed on my large Bombay cat. The next day, he had an 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 inch strip of skin showing with no hair. After a month, still no hair has grown on the application spot. It was my first time using this product and not only did he lose his hair, but the box clearly states "goes on clear and dry" but the whole area was greasy looking for days. I thought the cat was just allergic to that one product but now I'm wondering about my older but smaller cat as well, after reading these accounts. I purchased the item in late April 2015. I have one ampule left from the three pack but plan to take the other box back.

I applied the Evolve 40 as directed. 2 days later I take my dog to the park as we do multiple times during the week, to walk, run and play. Panting a little harder than normal so we came home. A hour later in the backyard she seized up, started to shake and gums lost most color. I believe her pores opened up from sweating and the poison found its way into her system full force. Bad product, bad company for supplying to the public. Wonder where these products are made?

I put this product on my 8 year old Boxer as well as my 4 year old Chihuahua. They both started being irritated.... Trying to scratch... Didn't sleep all night... Whining due to irritation and trying to reach to itch. I gave them both a bath the very next morning and it calmed it down for a little while.... But didn't last long. Praying they both feel better ASAP!!! I will be contacting the company now.

My boyfriend and I bought Sergeant’s Nature’s Guardian Flea and Tick Squeeze for our cat that is 2 1/2 years old. After I applied it she started to vomit after that she started shaking. I called the number on the packaging and they told me that was normal side effects. I never thought to read the reviews it just never crossed my mind. After she went to sleep which she never sleeps early afternoon. I took her and I got in my tub so that I could get all this crap off asap. I blow dried her and she seems very different. I'm praying that this doesn't hurt or kill my baby. I love her so much. This isn't fair!! They shouldn't be allowed to sell this. But I swear if something happens to her I will sue the hell out of that company!!! Not only is she our cat but she is our family... PLEASE I MEAN DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK!! We have to stand up and get this stuff off of the shelves!!! I don't want a refund I want it off the shelf!!!

Healthy puppies. Gave them a bath. Next day all dead. This product needs to be removed from market.

I had applied Sergeant's flea and tick squeeze on my little black cat (around 8:00 pm) and tried to hold her still as it dried but sadly she ran off. When I found her she had what looked like white foam coming out of her mouth, I rushed to wash the foam off her mouth. I looked up anything close to what was happening to my cat after reading the comments on this site I quickly started washing her off with some Dawn soap and made sure she drank some milk. She has yet to act any different than normal but it has only been a few hours. After reading all of the comments I will not be buying anything with Sergeant's again.

Sergeant's Evolve flea & tick - We put the application on as described in the instructions on our beagle. Noticed the first day that her left side was twitching and she continued to look back as it did. It continued on the next day, and we thought she was cold and she was restless. As I was home the following day it continued on, and we did some research and discovered that it could be an adverse reaction to the flea and tick application. We immediately washed her off, then called the emergency vet. They instructed us to bring her in. They gave us some meds and we took her to her vet the next morning. They ran test and said her liver and kidneys are fine and we should wash her again with Dawn and continue the medication. This has been a traumatic experience and I will never use a Sergeant product again. Please BEWARE!!!!!

I would like to inform you that the antiparasitic SERGEANT'S GREEN COLLAR CAT caused a strong shock and pain to my cat, making him run like crazy. I removed it as quickly as possible. My cat is a quiet animal and so far had no problem with other medicine. Then, making some research on the internet, I found out that this product is extremely dangerous for pets (cats/dogs) and that many guests mentioned serious adverse reactions and burns after using it. It appears that my kitty (and I indirectly, who love him) was lucky in his misfortune, because I ordered the collar instead of the ampoule. So, I removed it in one - two minutes before the symptoms worsen. If you love your pet, please do not use this product. Moreover, what I saw wasn't some kind of allergic reaction, according to packaging information, but something much more serious.

Used this spray on our carpets Sunday. By Monday he(my cat) was suffering from neurological problems. He is now partially paralyzed by this poison!!! Do not use this product anywhere near your animals.

I picked up a bottle of Sergeants pet dewormer the other day. Product states vet recommended and safe! I am absolutely beside myself and disgusted. This product should not be legal!! My poor cat has been so sick since taking this product. Severe seizures, and after seizures finally stopped he is falling over, eyes glazed over and twitching badly. How could a company be so careless. I am not letting this just go. I will be posting and calling everyone I can reach. Nobody, no pet should have to go through such an awful thing.

I put Sergeant's Evolve 21 (21-39 lbs) on my 27 pound Schnauzer mix last night. It is now 8 a.m. and he hasn't slept. He started pacing anxiously within thirty minutes of the flea drop application. I bathed him soon after with an all natural dog shampoo which gave him some relief but not for long. Within a few minutes he was pacing again and went on all night. He is eating and drinking and playful so far, which I am thankful for, but this is just not normal and cannot be good for his nervous system. I threw the remainder of the product away and will never buy this brand again! I just hope there are no severe or permanent effects from this bad choice.

WOW... if I had only done some research before putting this garbage on my standard poodle Joshua. Almost immediately he started scratching & wheezing. I have been washing the areas where we put this junk & will contact our Vet today.

I used sergeants bansect on my 3 yr old poodle. She began shaking, walking side ways, going after her tail, none of which she's ever done before. I also noticed her tail was stuck to one side and that was why she was reacting that way. I've never had this problem with any other flea & tick product. With much prayer in about 3-7 days all the twitching stopped. She's back to normal. DON'T USE THIS. This was one of the scariest moments of my life.

I put Sergeant's Gold Flea treatment in the tube on my best friend's dog and this poor little dog has had a rough time. She (Claire) has experienced disorientation, sleeplessness, sudden jerking movements for two days now after having 2 baths within a few short hours of the application. I am very distraught to have caused this and the company should take these accounts seriously enough to remove it from the shelves as I have seen many stories from others regarding this same product.

I bought Sergeant's flea and tick drops for my 9 month Catahoula. I put them on her yesterday 4-1-15, and thought nothing else of it. Somehow, my 2 year old outside cat ingested some of it, I believe by grooming my dog and normal play. At 9:30pm (7 hours after application) my cat started having horrible seizures until 5 am (4-2-15). At 10 pm, we realized what might have happened and bathed him in Dawn dish soap, towel dried him, and turned the blow dryer on him. He was still shaking pretty bad, but not in a seizure. We knew he still had some poison in his system. We managed to get some milk in him, and water through an eye dropper. As I was on the phone with the company, he had a very violent seizure and quit breathing. My mom managed to push on his side and he started breathing, all while the lady on the phone repeatedly asked me my phone number, and I am trying to tell her to hang on.

Sergeants evolve 21 flea treatment - I put this treatment on my dog and she was dead in a week. She paced, twitched, shook, quit eating, drinking and could hardly move her back legs. We bathed her after reading the reviews but it was too late. Took her to emergency vet. Blood work showed kidney and liver failure and her potassium level was life-threatening as well. Poor Maisy had not stopped shaking for 2 days. She couldn't move anymore. That dog was my best buddy.

When I changed to this brand on my cat I noticed an immediate change. Itching terribly. Scratches, sores and bald spots from the itching. Will never buy again.

My update and pictures of my baby girl Scraggles since the application of product PetArmourPro Advance. I did receive a refund from the company. I also spoke with a gentleman named ** that is the buyer for pet products for Wal-Mart in October 2014. He stated since I received the refund from Sergeant's there is nothing more he could do. Really? He also stated that they would be removed from the shelves at Wal-Mart and that never transpired. Also was told a recall would be issued by Sergeant's due to # of complaints but that never happened... I still see the products at the local Wal-Marts, Targets, Meijers etc.

Last summer I used Sergeants flea control product on my dog using the package instructions. My dog immediately began showing signs of discomfort, balance problems, staggering, problems with coordination. I bathed my dog after speaking to the "help" line. In January my dog began showing signs of neurological problems. After many visits to our veterinarian we have had an MRI done and my dog has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and has six months to live. I am heart broken to say the least.

I am so distraught! I just bought one yesterday, thought I'd try it. I put it on my son's cat and he went wacko, hid under the bed! Stayed up all night with him! He was spitting mucus. Yuck! He has eaten and drank water but I have not noticed burns, been washing him down with a wet towel, trying to get it all off him. Poor thing!! I could kick myself!! I usually always do my research, what was I thinking!! Well not an excuse but I have been severely ill for some time but I am so disgusted with myself!! Sergeant's has had a bad reputation for years with their past products!! Go to Youtube and watch!! Horribly sad!! Never again will I ever risk my fur families' health to this company!!! It's disgusting!! Yeah there may be good reviews too, but what about the long-term effects??? What ever you do, STOP!!!! This is toxic!! They cant talk, be their voice!!!

DO NOT BUY THIS COLLAR FOR YOUR ANIMALS! If I could give negative stars I would. I wish I had read the reviews or did some research before I put them on my pets! I put one on both of my cats and my 7 year old cat reacted immediately. In less than 5 minutes she started panting and wheezing. Then when I went to try and console her she bit me and reached out to scratch me. She's never done that in her life. Her wheezing got worse so I looked up the collar and immediately cut them off and went to check on my other cat. She is about 3 and she hid under my bed and was rolling around freaking out. I cut hers off too and they are both acting very out of the normal. If you do research on the brand Sergeant's as well and go on the EPA website the brand will stop selling their products because they contain the chemical proproxur. They are selling the stock they have till April 2016.

NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY THIS CHEAP CRAP...SERGEANT FLEA AND TIC... I remember as I was cooking ramen noodles in my kitchen and my dog usually watches me cook things. But out of nowhere my dog just takes off and dashes in my room. And I thought that's strange. My dog never ever runs away from the kitchen unless I tell her to go. But anyways I go in my room to check on her and I find her scratching, twitching, whining, kicking the carpet with one leg and limping with the same leg she was scratching with.

I am fuming right now. Our sweet dog is now experiencing side effects from having Sergeant's flea and tick meds given to her. I applied it to the back of her neck in between the shoulder blades as directed. She didn't have any type of immediate reaction to it. No reaction came until this morning about 12 hrs after administering the meds. She began having pretty noticeable twitching in her back left leg. She seems nervous and anxious, pacing and behaving in a kind of crazed manner. I wasn't sure what was going on. With how much she was biting and scratching her leg, I thought maybe she had something stuck in between one of her toes. No yelping when I would apply gentle pressure or move her nails or toes around. I can sense she wants to go to the bathroom but seems like she can't bring herself to go. She hasn't eaten or drank much of anything all day.

I put Pet Armor igf on my dog and everything seemed okay at first. That night he seemed agitated and I thought nothing of it. The next day he had a hard lump on his back. It turns out that the medicine caused a chemical burn on my dog. We cleaned the area like the toll free health line suggested. He had a feverish open sore on his back. That night he kept waking me up and felt very hot. The next day he was not acting himself and so we took him to the vet. He was given a steroid and antibiotic shot as well as oral antibiotics. I will never buy this product again and they promised to send me treats for my dogs suffering and never did. It's okay though, because if the treats are theirs they must be poison.

My two felines were bathed and after drying, I applied Sergeant's Flea Drops. My younger feline did good. But, my older feline's fur started falling out and scalped bad. I used Hartz before with worst results & had to take to vet. Nevertheless, Gracie was itching away. So, I bathe her again with Dawn. Got better. But, she still itched and hair continues to come out of head. I have treated her bald head with topical antibiotics. The scabs were bad (not worst than Hartz though). My Tweet (Gracie) is starting to come back around after 5 days. Never again. SMHH.

Sergeant's De-Worming Pills For Cats - I administered the drug according the directions, hours later I found my 5 month old kitten nearly dead, limp, soundless and unable to move or stand. When I finally got her awake she was twitching. I called the vet, they said come in ASAP. After her system was flushed out, she had a fever, lost her ability to walk and function they determined the recommended dose (on the box I bought and brought in with me) was too much for the kitten even though it was the instructions. The vet also said they had several cases like this with over the counter medicine and that this company was horrible and so was their flea spray and they told me about that too. She has neurological damage and I am waiting it out now to see if her system can get the toxins out and she will be normal again or survive this. I am scared she will die, the vet said wait 2 days. I am really upset.

I made a big mistake buying this but how should I know it was gonna kill my cat in a few days. I got the flea spray and used it on him. He seemed fine at first but 3 days later he started crying out in pain, scratching on the sofa, and could barely walk. So I tried washing it off with Dawn but that didn't seem to work. So I called both the vet and Sergeant. Take a guess which one wasn't much help. All they told me was to use Dawn to wash it off. So I called the vet and they said there wasn't much left they could for him seeing as the poison was already in his bloodstream and about 20 mins ago he died....Made me cry for the first time in 7 years. He was the only best friend I had in this world, he was like a son to me.

I have four dogs and I try to find a good deal. Well I guess the deal wasn't so good after all. I applied Sergeants flea and tick to all four of my dogs after they had been bathed and groomed. Two out of four had almost immediate reactions. Running around like they were crazed, itching, shaking their head. I looked up online and found this site. Thank God. I immediately gave them all two baths with Dawn dish soap. After being up all night with these poor babies, I went and bought Benadryl. I gave them some, and it helped enough for them to sleep a little.

I applied this product to my 5 year old pug at 4pm. He has had other Sergeants flea drop before and never had any issue. This was however the first time I had purchased the "evolve". We went out at 6, came home around 9. He was acting really strange, agitated, pacing, panting, twitching. I called the vet and then we made the connection that it was likely the flea meds. They told me to bathe him and if symptoms got worse take him in. Bathed him, also called the hotline number on the box. They confirmed him to be having an allergic reaction based on symptoms, they said to bathe him in dawn dish detergent. 3 baths later he was so worn out he fell asleep, we thought that was the end of it. He woke us at 5am, yelping, chasing his tail, kicking out his leg, acting completely "crazy". We let him in the back yard and he ran and hid under a bush. He seemed terrified. We immediately called emergency vet and they told us to take him asap. The diagnosis, flea product toxicity. He was sedated, given steroids and pain meds. He was sent home with 3 prescriptions. We were told the next 2 to 3 day would be a rollercoaster.

Going to say that I had no idea at first that their products had caused the problems until I read the reviews and went to report symptoms to my vet! We have never had a big problem with fleas in our house until a visiting relative brought fleas on her clothing from their 2 infested dogs! Our stepdaughter's mother seemed to even be aware that they had a flea infestation in their home. Or she was denying it! Either way, her daughter comes to visit us every other weekend but hadn't visited from Jan-May due to my hubby spinal surgery. Once she arrived, she brought fleas with her. We noticed fleabites on her legs. I told her to tell her mom. I left to go visit my mother out of state and I come back to fleas jumping all over me!

Sergeants flea and tick for dogs over 66lb - My pit had a very bad reaction to this product, breaking out in huge sores and little bumps all over him the first time I used it. Took a month to get out of his system, not sure if it was the product. Didn't want to try it again. But a roommate put it on him again before I could stop him and again my dog is sick, throwing up and breaking out in bumps again. I need something to get this poison out of his system. I don't have a lot of money... PLEASE HELP.

We adopted a kitten from the local shelter and within days seen he had fleas so I went to the Dollar Store and the only thing on the shelf was the Sergeant's flea and tick spray for cats so I got it. We sprayed him down according to the instructions and the next morning we see he is foaming at the mouth and meowing a lot.. After reading reviews we see that it is the spray that has done this.. We've now washed him with Dawn dish liquid and I hope he doesn't get worse like some of the other stories I've read.. This company needs to be sued and they should never have any product on the shelf ever again!

I used sergeant spot-on on our very healthy cat. Within 5 hours, she could barely walk, seemed to be crying out in pain all over, anywhere you touched her, her eyes were rolling inside her head, and twitching terribly, her whole body was shaking terribly, was having trouble breathing and could not shut her mouth. Then she had two extremely severe seizures, she shook so hard convulsing, her eyes rolled up inside her head, she was gripping the mattress with her claws so hard, she ripped several claws out, she was drooling awful, it lasted several minutes. This exhausted her. That was over six hours ago since the seizures, she still is extremely weak and in a lot of pain, shaking, unable to walk, crying, etc!!!

About 3 days ago I applied the sergeant's flea and tick squeeze liquid on my two little dogs. One weighs 11 pounds, the other one weighs 12. I noticed about 20 minutes thereafter they started panting a lot like if they were very hot and thirsty and they started like trying to reach to their back, their spine area to scratch and they kept doing that repeatedly. The older one started getting like a nervous twitch and that really concerns me. Right now the older one seems a bit exhausted today and I'm kind of concerned. I believe I will take her to the vet hopefully tomorrow if I don't see any improvement. The following day I bathed my two little dogs. And I am going to bathe them again today because they seem a little bit still bothered and not too comfortable.

I started use of Sergeant's silver on my 20-week old kitten because I saw a flea. After using for a one and a half days, she began throwing up and heavily drooling. I looked on the bottle and they had a medical hotline and the lady was very informative and helpful explaining what was possibly going on, advised me to stop using the product and bath the kitten. If problems persisted, was advised to see a vet. Was given a contact number, other informative information as well as a case number and lastly a follow up call.

Used Sergeant's Evolve 21 Flea and Tick Squeeze-On with our two dogs and both had the same symptoms. Twitching, restlessness, coughing. Very difficult to go thru. Washed it off in the morning and it helped a little but did not keep them from being uncomfortable and twitching. We love our animals and this product should removed from the market. Do not use, please!

Sergeant's Silver - On Monday, October 20, 2014, I went to work and found one of our office cats ill... He had been vomiting, wasn't eating, had some nasty stuff around his mouth and on his paws... very sick kitten. I took him to the vet... Later that afternoon, his sister began getting sick... I began treating her... She died 24 hours later... I called the company last evening, gave them the info... They gave me directions to feed them, give them water, etc. I followed their directions... not knowing how else to help my fur babies. I called them this evening, advised of the kitten's demise and demanded they pay the vet bills including hospitalization for the sick kitten... I was told to call the corporate office to discuss with them... I also threatened to sue their company as the cat's owner is an attorney... These products must be removed from the shelves... Our fur babies are not worth this company making money...

I applied this product to my dog at 6pm on 10/13/14 because he was scratching a little so figured he had fleas, again. I noticed by 8pm that he was extremely restless & scratching non-stop. He normally finds a spot on a chair or couch & falls asleep at this time of night. He was going, frantically from spot to spot to spot to spot, shaking, itching. At 9:30, my husband & I decided to go to bed. I knew he was too wiggly to sleep in bed with us so I put him & his dog bed in our large bathroom & shut the door. I could hear him whining, as if in pain. He never whines & thrashing around in the bathroom so I went in to check on him at 10. I decided to give him a bath to wash the product off with dog shampoo I have used on him for 7 years.

Within 12 hours after bathing my two adult female dogs with their flea and tick shampoo they became ill. Rash on their feet, vomiting, they could barely walk, their legs would buckle. Also they would shiver and go to the bathroom where they laid. The dogs were severely poisoned by this shampoo. It resulted in their death within only 3 days. The active ingredient causes severe side effects and can lead to death. By the time we figured out what happened it was too late. The product Skips Flea and Tick shampoo should be taken off the market! Please don't let this happen to you.

Sergeant's Silver Squeeze-on for Cats and Kittens - I adopted my kitty Imzadi, from a couple on Facebook. When I got her, they said this was the brand of flea control they had been using, so I continued to use it, even though I've always used Pet Armor in the past. Unlike a lot of the other animals in these reviews, Immy did not show any immediate adverse effects, so I continued to use it, completely unaware of what was going on.

Sergeant's NATURE'S GUARDIAN - I applied the tube as directed on the package and about an hour later my kitten started acting funny. She was laying around and started shaking and twitching around. Her eyes looked very funny and she just looked like she was sick. She had rolled off a bed and my mother-in-law brought her down to me. I gave her a bath and tried to wash it off with Dawn dish soap. My fiance was holding her in a towel on his lap and she just fell to the floor and had a seizure. She couldn't eat, couldn't drink any fluids at all. I had to take her to the emergency vet clinic by my house. They had to give her an IV drip and give her a muscle relaxer to calm her down. We were told never to use this product ever again, that this product is known for causing neurological problems!!!! Why keep this product on the shelf?!?

I have always given my cat monthly flea treatments. I decided to buy Sergeant's Gold Flea treatment, and after applying it, my cat vomited and developed severe tremors. I took her to the vet, where she was given a thorough bath and muscle relaxants. My vet told me that this brand is toxic to cats and should not be sold on shelves. She said that she had one cat come in with its skin burned off as a result of this treatment. Also I've read tons of reviews about this product causing severe illness or even death in cats! I have been crying all day and am so shaken because I worry that my cat will become another cold statistic for this awful company. This product is DANGEROUS!! DO NOT BUY!

I had used Sergeant’s Fur So Soft Dog Shampoo for several years with good results. The dogs coats turned out soft and shiny… When it was bought out by another company, I recall thinking: "I hope they don't change the shampoo formula." Apparently they did, as I just used it on my dogs and their coats are dry and stiff. What a shame, as it used to be a good product.

Bought two of the Sergeant’s flea and tick collars for the two cats we have and within a few hours one cat was having a severe reaction with horrible smelling diarrhea, shakes, head shaking, eyes looking funny, couldn’t walk, tongue hanging out and couldn't meow or make noise, heart was racing and no balance. Immediately removed his collar and began bathing him in Dawn dish soap and called the number on the package - basically told me to bathe with Dawn dish soap and get to a vet immediately.

My husband purchased 2 boxes of the PetArmorPro Advanced at Walmart on 08/11/14. I didn't apply it to my 5 cats until a couple of days later. When I did, it appeared to work initially but within hours instead of the fleas starting to dissipate it appeared like they were mutating and that on some of the cats there was a larger abundance of them than had previously been. . I dismissed that to the fact that had just applied it to them and went by the advice on the box regarding the length of time that it could take to get them under control. I had also used Raid Flea and tick killer for carpet along with other products in the home as well as outside the home. We thought we had them under control..somewhat....however that was not the case.... After a couple of days, yes there were some dead ones.....there also was a major increase in flea dander being left from all 5 of them. Which I expected however but that continued as did the mutation of the fleas and they also got larger....instead of going away.

I applied the flea spray to my cat as directed and avoided the spots that were mentioned to avoid, he was fine for a few hours then he started howling and I thought he was upset. I had to hold him down and spray him, then he started throwing up white foam, he won't eat or drink anything. I gave him a bath and washed it all off of him and he is still sick and can't even walk. I fear he is dying, he is 7 years old and never had any medical issues or episodes like this before and I'm doing everything in my power to keep him hydrated and comfy. I'm livid he is sick not long after application of the product, it's dangerous and needs to be removed from stores asap.

I purchased this to spray my carpets for flea infestation. I read the label before buying. I had previously used the Hartz carpet spray and it worked fairly well, when I returned to buy another bottle they were out of Hartz so I purchased the sergeants. I went home and lightly sprayed the carpets, the smell was SO BAD (even though the bottle said "Clean Fresh Scent"). I sprayed at 6:00 p.m., I opened the windows in the room and closed the door. (I closed the door to keep our pets off of the carpet, the bottle never said anything about ventilation).... At 9:30 we checked to see if the carpet was dry which it was bit the smell was so bad it burned our eyes and noses.

Made my poma poo very sick. Within 2 hours after use, frothing from her mouth, puking, crying, and tremors, skin hot to touch. I gave her a bath immediately even while she was so sick, rinsed her mouth with lukewarm water, and gave her 15 mg of benadryl. Called poison control, and now watching for blisters. She is now resting comfortable. Please please take this poison off the shelf! Sergeant's, if you really care about our furry friends, then discontinue!! I learned a good lesson from this, I will look up reviews from this day forward on any product. Consumer affairs please help get this poison off the shelves.

After Applying Sergeant's Gold as instructed, my cat immediately got sick. I called the Sergeant's 800 medical emergency line, and they initially told me this would be just temporary and it's normal. After contacting my local emergency animal hospital, when the symptoms didn't subside, they told me to wash the product off immediately, which I did, but apparently it had already gotten into the cat's system, causing liver Problems, lack of appetite, weight loss, & vomiting. Over the next few weeks, and many many vet visits, we flushed the cat's system with Daily IV fluids, medication and special digestive foods.

I did not mean to grab the wrong tube for my cat and put this product on her and she is convulsing with tremors and keeps holding up one leg and she cannot walk. Also makes chomping noises with her mouth. She usually meows a lot and now makes no sound. I will never use this product again. Nor will I recommend this to anyone. Horrible product. Can't believe they still sell this. Very heartbroken for my precious li'l kitten.

09/05/2014 - I applied this product to my three cats. Two were fine but my female older cat reacted liked I had burned her! She ran outside and I have not seen her for two days now. Reading other complaints, it is reasonable to assume the product was a bad idea. I will be heartbroken if I am the cause of her death. I agree with others to buy strictly from the veterinarian and spend the extra money for the welfare of your pet! :(

It's toxic and I have a friend whose cat went into seizures (sp)... A PAINFUL DEATH. GO HOLISTIC.

My cat started scratching more and the flea infestation in my home became extreme. She acts funny now - doesn't want to be around anyone. Do not buy this product.

I went out and bought the sergeant flea and tick gel for my three-month-old kitten. I applied it to my kitten yesterday. Today the kitten been laying around not eating. We noticed that he has blood in his stool that he's been throwing up. He's going to emergency vet today to see what's going on with him. I'm very disappointed about this product and everything. I feel that this is doing harm to a lot of animals - should be pulled off the shelves. They shouldn't be allowed to sell this product. Where is the animal right people when you need them? Please have them pull this product off the shelves asap for the sake of them animals.

On August the 5th we bought Sergeant’s product and used on our cat. Following directions as labeled. Less than 24 hours after use our cat was having breathing problems and coughing. Went to the vet Aug. 6th and was informed this product made my cat sick. Pyrethrins in the formula poisoned his bloodstream. The Vet confirmed this. I have a formal complaint to Sergeant’s, sent them the vet bill and still not had a response back. I am one of hundreds of people that have suffered the near lost or loss of their pet this way. Check out the reviews on this product and hear others sad stories. This needs to be taken off the shelf!

A few days after treating my cat, he had a big bald patch where the liquid was. I've used these types of treatments all his life, so I didn't think the treatment caused it. The same day it looked red and swollen and painful. The next day, it was like a horror show. Had to take him to the vet and it is a chemical burn. A severe burn. Medications, vet bills, not to mention his pain and suffering. Not worth it. Hundreds of dollars for your horrible product. Lucky I don't sue you. Just take it off the market so other pets don't suffer horribly like my cat is.

About 3 days ago we got Sergeant's flea drops from the Dollar Store for my cat. I had used flea meds the year before and they worked very well. But they were from the vet!! Well, after applying the drops and seeing no change in his fleas and him scratching & licking himself to death... I got him a flea collar. Well the next day he started acting really weird. He no longer has energy like he always does. He has been laying in the same spot for 2 days... have only got him to eat a few treats. Also he is drooling from his mouth and has VERY bad breath. His drool looks like slime & smells like a death. I have washed him in Dawn dish liquid but doesn't seem to be helping. And don't have the $ to take him to the vet. I feel so bad for him. So afraid he is going to die. After reading the bad reviews & all the animals that have died I am so scared. Please someone tell me what to do. My little girl will be so heartbroken. She says he is her brother. We've had him almost 2 years.

Evolve 21 Flea and Tick Squeeze-On for Dogs - I put this on my 27 pound beagle (who already has issues with anxiety) on Friday. The first 48 hours were terrible - he could not sit still, scratching himself and his back leg had a twitch. We are giving him benadryl and natural anxiety medication for dogs around the clock, along with a bath a day with Dawn and then hydrocortisone. We are now approaching the 72 hour mark. He was able to sleep last night, after being medicated and me holding him and petting him to sleep, but after waking up is still anxious and restless.

Within an hour of treating my cat, I noticed that she was tired. She had eaten a very good meal and I assumed that she was feeling full and napped. I left to go to the movies, and upon my return, she was still sleeping. This was very unusual in the middle of the day for this young vibrant cat. I have been a cat owner for years and knew immediately that something was not right. The only thing different in our day was the flea medicine. When this thought hit me, it occurred to me that I needed to bathe her immediately. I did thoroughly and I prayed for God to restore her. I then fed her a small amount of milk hoping that this would also counteract this obvious poison.

On Monday the 28th I treated my cats with sergeant's silver cat flea treatment. My cat weigh about 10 pounds. So I used the 5 pound and up formula. About 12 hours later my cat niemi has a seizure. My son calls me at work and tells me. I tell him to watch her closely. Then she started convulsing. As a single mom I couldn't leave work. I got home at 9:00. The poor cat was shaking uncontrollably. I couldn't at first find a 24 vet hospital. So I was trying to do the best I could for her while still looking for a hospital.

I used this product on my Jasmine. She is a Pomeranian and Yorkie mix, about 8lbs. Anyway she was crawling with fleas so I bought this at the Dollar General and after I used it, she seemed fine but after a while I noticed she wasn't moving at all even if I try and move her, so I got worried. I picked her up to make sure she was breathing and ran her to the bath. I bathed her in warm water and used Dawn dish soap. I scrubbed her, rinsed her and scrubbed again. She is sleeping now but I'm keeping a close eye on her.. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT! I don't have a 24-hour vet so if she still seems funny when the vet opens, I'm taking her. I don't understand how this product can still be sold after so many pets have suffered.. Please don't use any Sergeant's product..

I started to give my cat the vitamin and 1 week later she started to lose her hair - not a good product.

Please don't use this product. I put it on my cat and he immediately started shaking and foaming at the mouth. I washed it off and he hid. A week and a half later my cat started having seizures and can't walk straight. It was confirmed by our vet that it was the flea spray. I feel so guilty. How can they be allowed to sell this product?

After applying Sergeant's sentry flea medication, my dog began losing hair, scratching with a nervous twitch. When I took him to my vet, he was put on antibiotics and steroids. Once I figured out it was the flea medication, I also got a second opinion to see if I could save my dog. Blood work was done to confirm it was the flea medication. It had caused a yeast infection to grow on his skin and attack his immune system. I contacted Sergeant's to inform them of the results. The rep in charge said they would reimburse me for all vet care. I gathered all evidence and sent to their rep. I received a check for 22.00!!!!!!!!!! This only was the cost of their medication. It progressively got worse and I had to have my dog put down. This was a painful and agonizing way for my dog to die not to mention how it hurt me to lose such a valuable, faithful, beautiful dog who was my family.

My dad used this for our 2 medium sized dogs. Less than 20 min after he used it the larger of the 2 was frothing a lot, and about 30 min after it was obvious that there was something wrong. She is restless, scratching, and acted like a bee was stinging her on the back of her neck about every 10 seconds. It took 2 days to pass. But on the 3rd day she had a hot spot on the back of her neck. Now. I have owned dogs for a long time now and none of them have ever gotten hot spots. 1 day later she had 2 more hot spots and so does the other dog on the back of their neck! This poison need to be banned as well as Hartz.

Sergeant's Natures Guardian Flea & Tick - Do NOT use this on your cat. My little Flame Point Siamese died from it and our big Tuxedo cat has severe hair loss and rash on his back where applied. He is at the vet's office with my son now. I will post again to let you know. He is twitching and nervous since this was applied. He is still trying to scratch his fur off after 4 days and 3 bathings with Dawn.

My GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH SERGEANT'S GREEN FOR CATS

Six days ago I applied it on my cat. It took three days to dry and still her fur six days later is chemically burnt. She has for the last two days has watery eyes so severe she can almost not open them. She sleep continuously and is quite sick. I was so mad when I went to research this online today and found out there are 100's of complaints and not one mention to the unsuspecting public about this. Shame on Sergeant's. They should be put out of business!

I'm so worried this is going to hurt my cat. He's been licking the spray off ever since I put it on him. It won't kill him, will it? Please help.

Sergeant's EarMiteFree Product - PLEASE whatever you do, DO NOT use this product or any other Sergeant product on your pet. I thought my 2 year old Calico had ear mites so I went to the pet store and bought an $8 bottle of the Sergeant EarMiteFree ear drops. We are about to leave on vacation and I am scheduling a vet appointment for the week we come back from Florida so I thought I would just give her these drops for the time being until we could get to the vet. I figured they probably would not rid her of the mites completely but that they would hold her over until we got home. I thought that, at worst, they would just be ineffective but I was very wrong.

Basically I bought this brand at Family Dollar to use on my 9-month-old cat and put it on her and woke up and she was trembling and foaming in the mouth. Rushed her to the vet and it was in fact from this brand. She was not promised to live. It cost me about $200.00 out the door and she still is not right to this day :(

Two months ago, my girlfriend and I, along with our two spoiled rotten boy dogs, welcomed a pretty Beagle babe to our family. For her three years before joining us her life was spent merely existing. She wholeheartedly embraced the love we offered her and gave us not only her love in return but her trust. I let my baby girl down yesterday when I treated her with Sergeant's Gold. Watching the allergic reactions she is still having is just awful. The product was only on her for about twenty minutes before I knew she was in distress. Pacing, whining, rubbing herself on the carpet. I did what I should have done BEFORE I put that poison on her. I got online to find out what was wrong, how to help her and why this was happening. I have bathed her repeatedly with Dawn and gave her Benadryl and consulted our vet.

I took my dog to the groomer and after she was bathed I asked that groomer if she would apply the sergeants flea liquid once she was done. She called me to let me know she was almost done. I went up to pick my dog up and the groomer said to me "Do you mind if I wash the flea stuff off of Bailey, she is frothing at the mouth and getting more lethargic by the minute." I said I do not mind at all and I saw my dog and she was acting very ill and foaming at the mouth. This reaction was within five to ten minutes from application. My groomer hurried up and bathed her thoroughly again and the frothing quickly stopped. I have never seen anything like this. I have taken Bailey to this groomer for over seven years and this is the first time I asked her to apply anything to her hair. I will never buy this product again.

Hey guys, I had a similar experience with Zodiac. It's the flea and tick medicine that you apply to the back of the neck. We've used it faithfully every year to prevent fleas. 2 years ago my smaller gray cat, she was about 8 human years at the time, actually found a way of licking the stuff on her neck. After a few hours she was like everyone else's comments - couldn't walk, foamed LOTS from the mouth, was shaking, her one eye was swollen - double the size and that lasted about a day and she was ok. Anyone whose animal has this problem and it persists until the next day, take your cat in. They're at stupid risk.

Used Sergeants flea and tick squeeze on treatment for dogs 33lbs and under. Within 10 minutes, my 12 wk old pitbull puppy couldn't stand up. Fell asleep within seconds with his nose pressed upon my arm. I read all these terrible reviews and rushed him into the bath, bathing him twice back to back with dawn dish soap. Thankfully, he immediately perked back up and was back to normal. This product definitely needs to be removed from all store shelves!!!

I applied the flea treatment to my cat as instructed! He immediately ran from me & hid. I was unable to get to him for hours. By the next morning, he was vomiting and had uncontrolled diarrhea! And guess what, no fleas died!!!! I will NEVER purchase another one of your products again! I am reporting your company to the BBB and am strongly urging the store from which I made the purchase to discontinue carrying your product!!! I am also telling my friends who have animal members of their families!!! You should be put out of business!!!

I bought Sergeant's Green squeeze on flea and tick killer and was shocked at my cat's reaction. After I applied it, the odor hit me. It was as if I had spilled a gallon of Anbesol on the floor. When my cat licked the application spot, he completely flipped out. He shook his head and fluid flew from his nostrils. He ran away from me as if I had hit him and I couldn't get him to let me pick him up. Immediately, he started foaming at the mouth - HEAVILY- and fluid just poured from his mouth and nostrils. Wiping him with towels didn't get it off and I had to pour Dawn detergent over the spot and wash him until the substance was gone. When I called the company, they told me that this was the reaction that they designed the product to cause, in order to keep cats from licking the application. WTH?? How can a pet care company design a product with the express purpose of causing severe illness in a pet?

I bought the flea and tick spray. I followed directions and applied it to my six year old Chihuahua. A short time later my fur baby began to cry and pant uncontrollably. Her skin was hot to the touch and she refused to eat or drink. After bathing her several times with dish soap, she seemed to calm some. My dog still doesn't seem the same and continues to cry off and on. I am so upset to think that this company is allowed to sell these products that continues to harm our pets..

I gave my cat a single dose (was not an overdose) and after 3 hours he vomited and had diarrhea. It has now been about 24 hours and he falls when he walks, has involuntary movement, won't drink and barely eats. I was told this is a safe product!!! I am so afraid my kitty will die. I will NEVER buy or recommend this product again!

I applied Sergeant's Silver to my cat this morning and she is hiding in all the wrong places. She will not come out and we have had to push her out with a broom. She will not eat or drink and she is shaking. I am going to take her to the vet first thing in the morning. I bought this repellent not because of price but it was the only one they had. After reading the awful things that have happened to people's animals because of this, I am worried sick and will be until we get her to the vet in the morning. God forbid she is still okay. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! This needs to be looked into in a legal matter. Perhaps if we all band together we can have this product taken off the market before it can make our animals sick and die.

We applied the formula to our Corgi mix and within a half hour, he was acting odd and nervous. He threw up 5 times and then was listless. We finally (duh!) checked for reactions with other users and OH NO.... This stuff is bad. Washed him with Hippie soap and he seemed to feel better immediately. Poor little guy. Don't use this junk on your pet please.

I'm feeling like the worst cat mom in the world right now. Since bringing Poe home, I've seen him scratching a lot and I was concerned he still had fleas. On my way home, I stopped at the grocery store and saw this flea powder that was pretty inexpensive (red flag #1) and I didn't think applying a powder would be difficult as it didn't require having to bathe the cat afterwards.

I too, usually buy Advantage, but ran out and bought the Sergeants. Fortunately, my kitty did not have this tragic reaction, but this product was totally useless. I could have just bought olive oil and it would have been just as effective. My cat is elderly and I'm lucky it didn't kill her. Why is this junk still on the market?

I noticed my cat (a little over a year old) was scratching continuously at his neck and decided to purchase Sergeant's silver flea and tick spray for cats. I began to spray on his neck and back area while absentmindedly searching the internet for reviews on the product, as I like to do. As soon as I came across your comments, I stopped and washed the sprayed area with Dawn dish soap. Thankfully, his fur is long and thick and he's a struggler, so I hadn't gotten too far. It's been about 45 minutes and besides being grumpy about the bath, is eating and isn't acting odd or sick. Thank you so much for the warnings! I had also intended to put a flea collar on him from the same company, which I will now throw away.

Same as every other comment!!! Please help, it's hurting me and my boy?? Going on day four!!!

Usually I buy Advantage II over the internet. However, my husband went to Safeway and picked up a box that was on sale. He bought Sergeant's Evolve 21. Within 35 minutes of apply the formula my two havanese dogs started acting very strange. They scratched the area, ran around the house like they were on speed, twitched nervously. I called the Sergeant's hotline and they told me to bathe the dogs several times and they should be fine. They said that this brand does not get into the nerve or muscles or blood. We bathed them and they still were not able to sit still. They were trembling and twitching uncontrollably.

This product was put on my cat in the evening time and he suffered through the night. By the time I awoke in the AM he was a wreck. Immediately we bathed him with Dawn (twice) and now he has a burn on his back. This product needs to be removed from shelves wherever it's sold. I'm very surprised that this product would be recommended by any employee.

I paid over 200 dollars for these drops and the darn things are junk. All my dogs still have fleas. I'm still having to bath and it makes me mad to spend that kind of money on a product and get 0% from it.

Sergeants Gold Flea and Tick Spray for Cats - I have 2, 10 month old Ragdoll cats and noticed some fleas. Our dogs had their treatments and cats are indoors. Husband and I picked up this product to use. I sprayed the one cat per directions. He wasn't happy. Then did the other. This was in the evening. Both went running off twitching after application. When I went to check on them to brush them with the flea comb, the 1st one I sprayed was drooling profusely and acting strange. I was worried. I checked on the other, he was drooling like crazy too. I took wet paper towels and wiped them down - I thought maybe just the taste of it, since cats groom themselves. Today both cats were very quiet, not themselves, then they both were just literally drooling, hyper salivating.

I gave my three kitties Sergeant’s Silver because I could not get rid of them with Dawn Dish Soap. Right after I finished I noticed my little girl, Ella, was foaming at the mouth. My other female, Kitten Paws, and my male, Skeeter, started running around like they were crazed. I forced them to drink water and so far they are ok, but the first sign of illness and I'm going to the vet. If they die, this company is getting a lawsuit!

I used Sergent's flea drops on my cat and she is now having seizures. Vet stated she will die from this. They claim their ingredients are natural. They are not. Not to mention that this product is very harmful to humans as well.

We applied these drops to our Siberian husky. She is only one and a half yrs old. 24 hours after applying this medication she began to have extreme itching and foaming at the mouth. As advised by a friend who is a vet tech I washed off the medication and provided her with Benadryl. The following day she began to vomit and continued to itch. Today is the third day and no relief. We woke up to an open wound on her neck bigger than the width of a baseball. Because it's labor day all veterinarians in our area have been closed till tomorrow. First thing in the morning we are going to take her in. I just hope it's not too late. This is the worst feeling ever. Knowing that I put that poison on my dog.

I used this product on my cat about 30 hours ago. Ever since I put the medicine on her, I have been in a state of panic while watching my baby struggle with side effects. Shortly after putting it on her, she was hissing and extremely restless. She could not get comfortable and her ears were twitching and she was shaking her legs randomly. I gave her a bath and got the stuff off as best I could. Afterwards, she no longer hissed and seemed a little better off. We made it through the night and afternoon, but then the twitching and discomfort seemed to be getting worse so I took her to the vet.

Family Member used to work for them (he quit because of what he was asked to do and wasn't going to be a part of killing animals) and you people don't even want to really know what goes on in the warehouse in Nebraska on how they make the product you buy. You are correct in complaints because they're supposed all natural ingredients products are the regular products just watered down (no lie). If a product is not safe for the workers to even handle, then why are they making it to put on our animals. Also never work for this company. The BBB needs to shut them down!

Flea and thick treatment is poison. I bought this at Vons store, put it on my dog and then a few hrs later she was acting weird, like drunk, and rubbing and itching... Then she starts crying... So my husband went and read some reviews for the product and we saw that she wasn't being silly, that she was having other symptoms like that described in other posts. And we also read that some of the dogs have died so we took her to the vet and now we are In emergency super worried, stressed, and wondering if our baby is gonna go through this experience :( If someone decides to sue this company, you can totally contact me. I would love to give my testimony. This product shouldn't be out in the market.

I am so heartbroken by how many pets I have seen with my own eyes pass away from these flea products. I don't understand. Honestly, someone please answer me and tell me how many complaints a company needs to stop the production? I'm sure some pets have zero reaction but in my years I have not heard one good story and seen a pet come out with no problems. As a provider, it's very difficult to grasp why people do not read the reviews on products. Consumers please, PLEASE ask your vet before using this product.

Sergeant's Dual Action Flea & Tick Collar For Small Dogs - My Chihuahua dog had four puppies May 2013. At 13 weeks old, we decided to let them go outside and wanted all the dogs to be protected from fleas. We bought and put the flea collars on all the dogs on a Monday. Wednesday all the dogs were lifeless, wouldn't eat or drink. We took the collars off, bathed all the dogs and took them to the Vet hospital Thursday. Vet checked them out, said their hearts were good, gave them some medicine, and told us to see how all of them would do in the morning.

I gave my cat Frontline Plus. Two weeks later she still had fleas, so I used Sergeant's SILVER on her. A few days later she had her head in the water bowl, and was lying in the litter box. So I took her to the vet, told him everything I had given her. He told me what he would do and to pick her up the next morning.

Accidentally grabbed the wrong tube. Placed on our two cats that are currently in the hospital. Praying they will survive. They are outside cats and we did not know anything was wrong until late the next day. They were so badly in shock and tremors badly. This product should be banned for all animals even though this was gravely our error. Ugh!!!

My cat was rubbing his ears because of ear mites. I put on Sergeant's Mite Away for it first time by the directions on the bottle. My cat died. I found him dead a few hours later. He was a cat that stayed indoors at night and only went outside a few hours at a time on perty days. He was healthy and had no other problems. I believe the Mite Away killed him. I LOVED HIM LIKE A BABY HE WAS TO ME WHAT PEOPLE'S KIDS ARE TO THEM. So sad.

I have an 8-year-old cat named Brando and he nearly died from Sergeant's Flea Shampoo. This was my first time buying this product and about 5 minutes after application, he collapsed in the tub and could not even lift his head above the 4 inches of bath water. It all happened so fast, but I reacted quickly and figured it must be some horrible reaction to this new flea shampoo. I propped up his head immediately and frantically washed the toxic stuff off as fast as humanly possible. I rinsed him thoroughly 3 times and the final time with Earthbath cat shampoo. I think washing him off immediately is what ultimately saved his life...

I put Sergeant's Evolve Flea and Rick medicine on my Shiba Inu and within 30 minutes, she was having a reaction. She was running around trying to bite or lick her back, shaking (like a dog will do when wet), whining, and running around in circles. She has been under my bed for a day and a half. She only came out once and was still shaking and trying to bite or lick her back. It was like something itched or burned her. She is SO uncomfortable. I read many reactions that had the same symptoms. This product should be taken off the shelf! It is horrible! My poor dog, she is so freaked out and hurt. I do not know if she will ever be okay.

I too have had a bad experience with Sergeant’s Flea and Tick. Before I even got the full dose on my dog, he was in pain. He started trying to rub it off, was extremely agitated, and would not stop pacing the house. I pulled up the reviews - of course after the treatment was applied - and found to my astonishment all of these terrible reviews. I immediately bathed my dog and washed him with dish soap, as many other posts recommended. I let him soak in the bath for about 15 minutes. He continued to whimper and shake during this (which is very uncharacteristic of him). After the bath, he continued to be in pain and was very agitated. We eventually followed up with Benadryl and have been continuing to give it to him. It's been two full days, and he is still irritated. I fear that the only thing that saved him from worse side effects was getting it off of him within minutes of applying it. I am very upset this can even be put on the market.

Sergeant's Gold 5 way protection squeeze on - On May 19, 2013, I gave our Lhasa Apso an application of this crap! We almost lost her! She kept yelping, scratching at herself and not eating or drinking. She was totally listless and her eyes would roll back; she could not open her eyes much. I took her to the Vet and he told us why. It's now 4 days later and she is getting somewhat better. I hope she has no future effects from this crap!

I am seriously enraged! How is this product still on the shelves? Or better yet, why is this company allowed to endanger our beloved pets' lives with their toxic chemicals?! I gave my dog a dose of this poison unknowingly. My aunt got a bunch of flea medications and I stupidly chose this one. My dog experienced the same odd behavior described in the many complaints about this product. She was restless, coughing, wheezing, and unable to drink water. I immediately searched online for side effects and acted accordingly.

I am so astonished at the vast number of horror stories and complaints about Sergeant's Flea and Tick products. Like everyone else, I can't believe these products are still on the shelves. Also like everyone else, I wouldn't have known about any of these things unless I, too, had a horror story to tell because I just treated my 2 maltipoos with "Sentry Pro XTC" and went to the web for help! On Wednesday night, I treated them because it's that time of year. I had this package from last year that I had gotten on sale and I knew it was still good so I used it. I normally don't use this kind but to save a trip from getting their normal treatment, I took the short-cut. Stupid me! Never again! I should have known when this 1 pkg. was able to treat both dogs that are 10 lbs. and 17 lbs. This was for dogs 9-20 lbs and, with my other flea and tick treatment, I had to buy 2 separate for their weight.

Our best friend's grandpa passed away and had three dogs. They needed homes so I took them in. I found this product the only spray for ticks and fleas that was in this store. I sprayed it on my dogs last night and this morning, I found one of the dogs dead and one barely alive! Right away I took the one barely alive into the house and gave her a bath to wash her clean, not knowing that it was this spray. About 45 minutes later in my arms she passed away. So I looked at this website and saw other reviews. I could not believe it! My dogs have the same side effects that others have reported! There is one dog left out of the three and she is starting to choke at least once every 30 minutes. I'm doing everything I can to make sure she stays alive!

Recently I bought a cat toy from the supermarket and played with my cat a little bit with it. About 5-10 minutes after, she began licking her lips excessively and did not stop until she vomited a large amount on the floor. She did not eat any part of the toy; it was still perfectly intact. There was only one other time I saw this lip licking behavior from her, and it was when I had applied Sergeant's supposedly natural flea oil on her. Soon after, she began the lip licking and then started foaming at the mouth. I immediately washed her with dish soap and the problem soon went away. Still I worry about what damage I might have caused her. I really like my cat.

I bought Sergeant's Evolve flea & tick drops for all 6 of my dogs recently and applied the drops as directed to all dogs yesterday afternoon. By early evening, our Pug was becoming agitated, pacing, and unable to stay still for very long. By last night at 11pm, he was panting like he was overheated, choking like there was something in his throat, his body was jerking like he was having spasms, and his head was jerking to one side. This continued all night long. This morning, I got up and put him in a large garden tub of water, washed him twice with baby shampoo, rinsed him well, and he is finally getting back to normal by 4:30 pm, a little over 24 hrs after application. I will not take the chance of using Evolve again, and I truly believe we came close to losing our Pug due to some type of chemical poisoning or reaction.

I bought three of the Sergeant's Double Duty flea and tick collars for cats. I put one on my male cat of 13 years, who weighs about 12 pounds. Within 15 minutes, he became extremely agitated, jumping around, eyes looking wild and disoriented, and he began foaming at the mouth and shaking from head to foot. It was nearly 10PM at night so no vet was open near us. I read reviews and chatted with others to try and get some idea of what to do. I had taken the collar off and most everyone said the same thing (bathe him). We did use Dawn dish soap since it seems most vets recommend it. He gradually calmed down, but remained sickly for several days after.

I bought Sergeant's Evolve for the first time on Sunday for my dog and Sergeant's Gold for my two cats. Just minutes after I applied it as directed, my dog was very agitated and could not keep still to the point where she would pant as though she were overheating. She is still not herself and has moments of agitation. It's been 3 days now! I read the reviews on here and called my vet; they recommended what just about everyone on here does, bathe with Dawn. I did that on my lunch break. I hope it's helped some. As for my cats, they are losing their hair! What is this stuff (I have a few choice words I would rather use here but won't)? I'm not too sure what to do to get it off the market, but I'm surely going to check into it. It needs to be discontinued. At the least, put these side effects on the package. I hope my animals are okay and recover to their old selves. They're like my children. Good luck to all and anyone else that may be reading these comments.

I have an 85 lb. yellow lab that is about a year old. I had been using Frontline topical flea and tick treatment with great results. I saw the Sergeant's Evolve 61 on sale, so I gave it a try (not even thinking about "side effects" since that was a non-issue with Frontline products). Within an hour, my normally happy and energetic puppy was flighty, nervous, biting at himself, and generally looking very uncomfortable. I gave him a thorough bath to try and get the Evolve off of him, but his erratic behavior worsened. He got sick twice. He paced the house until the early morning hours, panting the entire time (It's December and 50 degrees). My vet said all I could do was to make him comfortable and wait it out, hoping for the best. I read the box, front to back, and read nothing about the potential side effects. After reading all the reviews here and other places, I, too, wonder why this product is still on the market.

On Saturday, November 24, 2012, I purchased three (3) boxes of SentryPro Flea & Tick squeeze on medicine at the Petsmart store located at 1015 Village Center Drive, Tarentum, PA. It started about an hour after administering it, one of my dogs had three (3) seizures in about an hour's time then threw up. At this point, I knew something was seriously wrong and scrubbed it off of them as best I could. They all either had diarrhea, vomiting or both. My one dog had the most bizarre reaction and the longest. It was like he was on some type of speed. He couldn't sit still and continually whined, scratched and bit at himself. I gave him several baths but only time helped him.

I treated our 90-pound, 10-year-old chocolate Lab with Sergeant's Evolve 61 Flea and Tick Squeeze-On. Within about two hours, our dog couldn't sit still for more than 10 seconds, if that. He was agitated, nervous, panted heavily and his eyes dilated beyond the irises. This lasted well into the next morning. It took a day and a half for the dog to recover. Washing it off did nothing to help him. I found numerous similar cases on the internet with very little searching. There are no such side effects listed on the package. This product should be pulled and investigated.

I got the Flea and Tick for Small Dogs for my baby girl and she almost died. My Gracie still isn’t the same. A vet said there have been at least 200 cases like this through her office alone. Can anyone help me to get these people to pay and to take the product off the market?

I recently purchased Sergeant's Toy Breed Flea & Tick Spray for Small Dogs, sprayed it on my dog because she got tiny ticks all over her. I sprayed it as directed, allowed it to dry and left it on. She wasn't acting that sick, just a little down in the dumps the next day. Two days later, on Friday after work, my dog was red, hot and not acting like her little happy self. I took her to the vet. She is swollen, lethargic, in pain and on IV medications. My baby is sick and I don't know what I can do to help her. She has been at the vets for 3 days. I have a mini rat terrier; she weighs 8 lbs and the vet told me that she had gotten poisoned. He recommended not to use any over the counter medications at all. I hope my Honey gets better; it has been a horrific weekend. I am praying for her every day until she gets better.

I bought some of the product at Ralph’s Thriftway. I applied it to my dog; it didn't help at all! Now my dogs are throwing up! I’m getting my money back! And I am going to charge Sergeant’s for the vet bills.

I put Sergeant's drops on both my dogs. Unfortunately, I had done it late at night and went to bed shortly thereafter. I woke in the morning and one of my dogs was not in our room (where she usually is). I came up the stairs to find her in the kitchen shaking uncontrollably and uncoordinated in her movements! I immediately took her to the tub and washed her with Dawn twice! I knew I had to get that stuff off of her. I gave her something to eat and drink and watched her closely. She started getting better as soon as I washed that crap off of her. Our other dog had no problems (but I washed her too, just in case).

I have 3 dogs that I bathed with Sergeant's Gold Flea & Tick Shampoo. They all started walking all around the inside of the house and started foaming at the mouth. I have two small dogs (under 31 lbs), and another dog that is over 50 lbs. I searched online and found this site and was exasperated by all the complaints about things that have happened to other peoples pets. I quickly re-bathed the dogs with Dawn dish washing soap and 2 of my dogs got better quickly. One of my dogs has a major rash on her back by her tail which I've been trying to clear up with hydrocortisone spray. My larger dog is losing her hair. I am in the process of contacting Sergeant's to get their reaction to this problem.

Adams Flea products caused seizures in my poodles! Within 7 hours after applying the correct dose for the weight of my 2 poodles, they had seizures and muscle spasms. One of them got very sick. After having tests done at the vet, we found out the toxins in his liver were off the chart so far they had to dilute his blood 4 times to even get a reading. He never got better, we buried him last week. I firmly believe that these products killed my dog. Why can't someone get these products off the market!?

I had two 8-year old Persians. They got fleas so I bought Sergeant's Silver Flea & Tick powder for cats. Well, the first cat got very sick, still with a lot of fleas. She died two days later. Now my other cat cried loudly after I put it on. She dropped over and acted like she couldn't breathe, so I quickly washed her off the best I could. But needless to say after that, she acted very strange, not eating or drinking. Then four days after powder was put on, she passed. My girls were very healthy until that. As of right now, I'm very, very upset as this just happened this week. They should be shut down and investigated. This should have never happened. Someone should be held responsible for my girls' death.

Same as below reports. I applied 1 tube to 4 dogs just to repel mosquitoes and they went berserk. I gave baths right away along with Benadryl but no relief. I did this with other products in past years and never had this reaction. I am beside myself that I did this to my dogs, my babies. This company should be stopped.

I applied Sergeant’s Evolve Flea and Tick for dogs as per the instructions to my 2-year-old Irish Setter. Within 60 minutes, he went crazy. He ran around the house until he was exhausted. We finally used Dawn to wash his neck and back. He was agitated and breathing fast and refused to lie down. He fell asleep at 4 am but was up at 7 am and continued his agitated and pacing behavior. We gave him a complete bath that morning. It did help somewhat, but he remained fearful and agitated through the next day. The dog was terrified at what was happening to him. I will never purchase another Sergeant's product again.

I bought Sergeant’s flea repellent (treatment) for my four cats who are indoor cats. They didn't have fleas, they are indoor cats, but sit by the screen door a lot so I thought it might be a good preventative measure. I bought the all-natural product and things went wrong. One of my cats lost a lot of hair on her back and tail. I had to take two others to the vet for lethargy. They were both suffering from anemia. I called Sergeant’s repeatedly, sent them copies of the vet bills and they said they would take it under review. I just received a letter from them stating that they were not responsible and that anemia happens from intensive flea infestation.

I bought from a Smith's food store and the next thing I know, my deer head Chihuahua is sick, foaming at the mouth and irritated. My three younger kids under the age of 7 are so sad that our dog is so uncomfortable to the point that it's annoying to watch. How can this be handled? Is there a lawsuit that maybe we can file?

We bought the product yesterday because she had fleas. Petco store assistant recommended it! I regret it today. Today, 24 hours after we applied the solution on her back, she still has fleas so that really didn’t work at all. But my poor dog has a back as red as a crab. We have bathed her and we hope this will make her feel better. But I want this medication away from the market!

I’ll start my post from the end since my experience matches the vast majority of the posts on this blog. After 30 hours, my dog was back to normal. He doesn’t have any lasting symptoms from Sergeant’s Evolve. He is back to his normal puppy self. It took 30 hours to work through his system. This was one of the main items I was looking for when I was searching the site in a panic last night. I have a 7-month-old, 50-pound male chocolate lab. I followed the directions on the packaging. Like almost every post on the site, he was extremely anxious and irritated, unable to relax, and was twitching and panted heavily. It was as if he was trying to crawl out of his skin. His eyes were glazed and he had slobber and foam in his mouth. No seizures, though. He also didn’t have any of the skin burns or irritation that I read about on the site, though he didn’t want you to touch him.

I put the product on my dog as directions stated, and she immediately became anxious and irritated. I quickly washed her off as the directions also stated. It had been over 12 hours and she still was anxious and irritated, unable to relax, and was twitching, heavy panting. I went to a website for help, gave Benadryl, bathed again, and she is still anxious and twitchy. I plan on a trip to the vet to help her. I was furious when I went to the site only to find this product had been causing sickness in dogs since 2008 and yet is still being sold in major stores across the US. Please remove this product before it takes someone's family member.
