Sergeant's Pet Care Products review: Poison - it kills pets 133

why did she die? what was the cause? you should tell people that part so that they can check for the ingredient.

Purchased Sergeants Gold & Tick Squeez-On and as directed put it on my small 15 lb Maltese Dog. Within seconds my dog became wild and uncontrollable. It was obvious he was in great pain. He rolled and raced from room to room for hours upon hours with a twitching or tremor of the rear portion of his body. His heart was racing wildly and his panting never stopped for hours on end. I thought he was going to die. I called the 800 number on the package and was told to wash with Dawn Dishwashing soap and use vitamin E on the areas where he appeared to be burned. Perhaps this saved him from dying but it did not stop the rage he was feeling in his body.

I have surfed the internet and found there are pages and pages of complaints of this product and many requests for Wal-Mart to take this produce off the shelves. Some of these people have even had their pets to die from administering this product to them. Some pets had foaming at the mouth and became lethargic. One person had three pets; one dies and the other two are still in vet hospital.

I along with the other customers beg of you to please have someone look into this matter and have this poisoned product taken off the shelve. This would save many pets lives. I can't beleive this product is still sold after all the complaints that have been registered.

Would appreciate it if you could make Wal-Mart stores everywhere aware that this product does cause fatalities in animals.

Hi Barbara,

I’m writing today on behalf of Sergeant’s to help provide information and support to pet owners like you. I’m very sorry to hear about your recent experience. I greatly encourage you to visit Look at The Label, as it provides answers to many of the questions you may have, including important tips and educational information pertaining to flea and tick medication: http://www.lookatthelabel.com. It is important with all flea and tick medication to always read the package label carefully and only apply the intended dosage for your dog’s size and weight class.

I would love to hear your feedback and if the information on Look at The Label was useful to you. Of course, if you have any further questions at all I would be more than happy to assist.

Best,
Julie

My boyfriend and I used Sergeants gold squeeze on our dogs. A Chihuahua and a Terrior mix.They had the same reactions as many others within a hour .Reading the package label is a great Ideal, but does that insert say it is harmful or toxic to your pet? I think not. We treat our dogs like children. I for one would never give my child any medication without reading proper instructions .They were misreable did not sleep all night, shaking there heads as if there was something in there ears.
We were up with them trying to sooth there discomfort. we bathed them in dawn and gave the benadryl, it seemed to help. I find it amazing that so many differant breeds of dogs can have the same reaction to this product.
Sergeants gold would like for us to beleive it is our fault when the fact of the matter is this product is toxic to our pets and needs to be removed from the shelves.

I find it appalling that this product is still on the market.And that Sergeants has nerve enough to say they are sorry. Obviously none of these people have used this product on they're dogs. I used the gold on my chihuahua which is 9.8oz.I used the correct type after putting it on my dog I noticed him running around like crazy scratching and twitching. I immedately figured out it was the flea medicine and washed him 3 times in dishwashing liquid. I called the emergency vet and he told me to give him some benedryl and if he was not better take him to my reg vet first thing in the morning. I took him in and my dog had to be on IVs all day and still on benedryl. It has been 48 hours and he has not slept more than 10-15 minutes at a time due to the twitching and jumping around and scratching. I have contacted my local tv station to see if they could do a story on this and am looking into getting a class action law suit started. The misery and pain this product causes is inhumane. If it was a human they would be pulling it off the market already. This company knows because of all the complaints.I hope that they go out of business. The things they do for the almighty dollar.

I too used this medicine on my 12 pound bischon. Poor thing 2 days later is still scratching and miserable. I did end up at the er vet which is more expensive as it was middle of the night on the weekend. He has hair lose from the scratching due to the product. I agree this company needs to stop selling this right away.

I Checked these out really close and i didn't see any Flea eggs I believe its from the Cat Flea collar i put on earlier this week and that's a Sergent's Silver for cats 5 lb and up So if you do try this flea collar check for this reaction she's not sick and eats OK no blood or the clear crap. But what she did do was get in a box that was my Son's from collage that had those dam Laundry jell packs that's concentrated and must of broke one open she had it all over and that would of caused an issue I'm sure of so Bath time she didn't like it in the least. But after a Minute or so she liked it and she's happy So see that u have cats watch out for these collars Not speaking Bad of them just noticed it and it may not even be the collar OK But it could of been from the fleas she had

She also has them under her neck in like 4 place's 1/2 inch size but the top where it rested are the ones like an inch in dia.by 3/8 oval shape she eats and drinks fine

Well i wish i had looked it up be4 using it a lot of complaints and a lot of them died she acts weirder than usely and goes in these meowing fits thought it was odd and funny because they were really long and odd like she was singing and not a meow should of recorded a video . did it in her sleep and middle of the night woke me up and i thought someone was yelling it stopped now a little .. I just wonder what it would of done to a lighter cat. She was like tripping on lsd and the really loud meowing has almost stopped she only does it when i look at her it's not a painfull meows almost like she's trying to talk to me and yes i know cats don't talk

I took the collar off when i noticed it a few days ago But the main issue is liver damage I had also bought the Cat Drops for 5lb and over and haven't used it yet i had wanted to give the cat time so she didn't get too much and was going to apply like a week later IDK now Have any of you had this issue

Also whats the best safe flea control she's a indoor Cat thats 9+ years Old

Thanks U All for looking AMG

It is obvious that Sergeant's is not going to take responsibility for what their products are doing to animals. I submitted a complaint because 2 of my dogs suffered complications after my sister applied Sentry Pro XFT. Within 5 hours, my male dog, Alvin, was growling, whining, moaning, and crying. Alvin was air scratching, twitching, had tremors, spasms, and was shaking as if he was trying to dry off. (We took him to the ER). The next morning, my female dog, Maybel, was having the same symptoms. There isn't an antidote. Vets had to call poison control twice. Alvin had to be hospitalized. We called and spoke to Sergeant's medical representatives several times. They're reading off of a script. We were told once we washed the dogs in a dish detergent, like Dawn, 3 times, then applied vitamin E oil, and ice packs, their symptoms would resolve within 24 hours. Well, we applied Sentry Pro XFT on 10/29/16. We washed it off on 10/30/16, less than 24 hours after it was applied. Today is 11/26/16..and their symptoms have still not complete resolved. Both dogs are still suffering from skin sensitivity.

Sergeant's products need to be removed from the shelves immediately! My sister is a vet tech. She applied the Sentry Pro XFT. The product left a greasy residue on their fur, that kept spreading. Their fur was still greasy when we bathed them. The dogs were separated after we applied the product. The potential rub off onto their dog beds, couches, blankets, etc..is dangerous. A dog could lick where the product rubbed off and ingest the chemicals. Animals could lick each other. Not only is it dangerous to animals, but to humans. We're being exposed to the chemicals. Or at least we were...the Sentry Pro XFT, as I said, was greasy and never dried. We've used other topicals. In fact, my vet just applied Revolution to our puppy. It dries immediately. You can't even see where it was applied. The product I received was defective. Obviously, all of Sergeant's products are harming, and in too many cases, causing the death (or owners needing to euthanize) of dogs and cats.

The problem is, owners aren't aware of the possible harm or complications...until the damage has been done. We're finding this information out after our animals have died or experienced reactions/complications. Sergeant's isn't taking responsibility. I have bills that I can't afford to pay for my dogs because I used their product. I was told that I could submit the paid bills. Once they are paid, I'd have to fill out forms, and they would decide whether or not they would reimburse me, which could take months. I'm disabled and my only source of income is my Social Security check. I can't afford to pay for the damage their product caused.

I think it's time owners go to the mainstream media and share their stories. Right now, they're hidden..unless you're specifically looking, owners are unaware. I have videos of my dogs and what they were experiencing, proof of purchase, invoices, etc..If enough owners come forward, we can bring awareness to the damage and deaths their products have caused. Or a Class Action Lawsuit. No animal should have to suffer like my dogs were..and continue to, long after the product was applied. Another animal shouldn't die or have to be euthanized because of Sergeant's products. If you want to bring awareness to what Sergeant's products are doing to animals, share your story with the media, and start a Class Action Lawsuit, please message me. We need to advocate for animals. They don't have a voice, but we do!

Last night I lost my four month old kitten because I used Sargeants Flea medicine on my dog and the kitten licked him. I immediately rinsed his mouth and realized he had also rubbed against the dog so I bathed him. He convulsed for 12 hours and I knew he wasn't going to ever be okay so I had to put him down. I am devastated. I live out in the mountains with no vets open late at night. I am an animal lover and to have to do this to a kitten I hand raised and loved dearly is breaking me. I hate Sargeants for making such an awful product. I knew not to use it but a friend gave it to me because her dog gave my dog fleas and I felt obligated to try it after her glowing review. I only used part of the container and the dog was fine, a bit lethargic. Not my baby kitten. Screw you Sargeants!
