Popular flea collar linked to almost 1,700 pet deaths. The EPA has issued no warning. Johnathan Hettinger, Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting March 2, 2021, 9:07 AM·14 min read Rhonda Bomwell had never used a flea and tick collar before. Pierre, her 9-year-old Papillon service dog, was mostly an indoor animal. Still, her veterinarian recommended she purchase one, so Bomwell went to the pet store near her home in Somerset, New Jersey, and selected Bayer’s Seresto collar. A day later, on June 2, 2020, Pierre had a seizure, collapsing while Bomwell was making dinner. Lying on his back, the dog stopped breathing and his eyes rolled back.
