Does the product package have an expiration date or a best use by date and if so, how do we know we are not getting a collar that is nearing this?

The box I received had the expiration date printed with 8 months remaining before expiration.

There is an expiration date printed on the bottom of the box. I will NEVER order from this company again. I ordered the collars in June 2014 and received 2 collars with an expiration date of September 2014. The first collar expired 1 month after I needed it and the 2nd one will be 3 or 4 months beyond the expiration date when I need it.

Yes - the end of the package shows the Lot number and expiration date list by month and year. I just ordered two more collars on April 30, received them yesterday and expiration is Jan 2016.

My box had an expiration date printed with approximately 8 months remaining before expiration.

Yes, the package is dated. You would need to contact the seller before ordering to ascertain whether or not the expiration date is appropriate for your planned usage schedule.

My bottle of Zymox ear cleaner, does not have an expire date on it. If you pet just has dirty ears, this ear cleaner works great. However if your dog has ear infections, you will want to buy the Zymox OTIC HC 1.0% Enzymatic Solution, from Amazon. It is fantastic, and stops ear infections quickly. Glenn

I do not see an expiration date on the bottle; I go through this stuff in about a month, so I would not need to worry about it. Are you planning on not using it for over a year?

I'll jump in on this old thread. First the price will fluctuate between $38 to $52 on Amazon depending who the third party seller is. I actually got one for $38 on a lightning deal. I've purchased four in nearly three years and on my last collar, it was still working ten months later. Again, do the match on Advantage or similar products and you'll find this very cost effective.

I found 30 days is typically the limit. I keep the collar in a sealed bag when not in use to help preserve it. I use two or three days a week when my dog goes to a play group for up to 10 hours each day. Works wonders for my dog, but I know from experience it doesn't work for all dogs.

Well I've never been able to find an expiration date either but I do know from my experience as a veterinary assistance in the past that Pet Tabs have an extremely long shelf life !!!

You can find the date at the bottom near the barcode. It doesn't expire for me till 2019 and bought this 6 pack couple months ago.

The expiration date can be found at the bottom of the ingredient panel on the side of the bottle. Though my most recent purchase doesn't expire until 10/2016, with two dogs, the bottle I currently have will be long gone way before then.

This last bottle I received is June 6, 2017. The bottle came properly sealed in a box and didn't appear to be a counterfeit and it's doing the job for my old arthritic dog.

Sorry to hear this, I have had to contact PetSafe regarding the prongs being to long and the collar strap that holds the excess collar at the end and each time, customer service was most helpful. I believe they also said that since I had the collar less than a year, they would send me a new collar strap, they also sent me shorter prongs, both free of charge. I have never had a problem with the remote or the electronic part of the collar. Customer service was extremely helpful and very pleasent every time I have had a question and it appeared that Customer Satisfaction was their number one goal. Have you tried to contact them which resulted in poor results? I do not want you to think I have a half of a brain but was the plug inserted correctly? I charge both the collar and the remote at the same time. I wonder if the battery in the remote could be bad, it is rechargeable but who knows for how long its actual life is. Hope this is helpful but do try to contact Customer Service @ Toll Free: 1-800-941-4200, this # is from the Pet Safe web site," contact us". Hope you will have satisfactory result. I always have. Good luck and I would not mind hearing if they would help. Thank you

I have not had an issue with that, and the dog we are using the DAP collar with has been wearing one for ten months now. I realize every dog is different, but I would definitely check your Vet.

I ordered several packages at a time My Bichon dog only got one per day which was a 9pm daily treat. I do not think an expiration date would be an issue as they are very well packaged and sealed

Ordered mine August 12, 2013. Exp. Date on jar says 7/14. Instructions indicate it holds 180-360 days supply, depending on whether you give 1 or 2 scoops (included). This is no guarantee that a new order would still expire in July; it may have a much longer shelf life, but all I can give you is my experience with the product. By the way, it does work quite well, particularly if you've got a dog with diarrhea problems... clears that right up. Also, relative to other products this one is MUCH less costly, so even if you had to throw it out halfway through the jar, you'd still be money ahead. Our vet sells a product that costs over a dollar a day.

there is expiration date on the bottle. To my understanding it's the date after which the drug or supplement should not be used .

I have never noticed/looked for an expiration date before, honestly... Just looked and couldn't see one on an unopened bag. My dog goes through a bag every 2-3 weeks, so I order 6 bags at a time, and they have always looked/seemed fresh to me.

I have never looked at the expiration date. I have never had any issue of any kind. I still use the product. I always use it in a sterile environment.

The bottle I received had a manufacturer's date of 08/2012, but it was covered with a sticker. Makes me wonder... I have contacted Animal Essentials to see if these should have been sold or if they are OK. My dog has not had any ill-effects.
