Flea collars tend to have an odor; is this true with the Seresto collar as well

No odor at all. I have a very sensitive nose and never have been bothered by any smell. I spoke to the company about how long before totally working and was told, six to eight weeks. Seems like a long time but can surely see it working. A lot nicer than the fluid types. Hope this helped.

No I didn't notice any particular odour. Since raking the collar off my collie is 100% better.

No, this is the second year that we have used these collars and we love them. We have a toy Yorkie, a long haired dachshunds and a jack and they do not mind this collar at all. it is easy to put on and take off. Last for eight months and the best part is NO fleas.

I have never noticed an odor. This is the 2nd Seresto collar my dog has had.

I waited 2 hours and there was no chemical smell when I got back. Hope this helped, good luck with the Fleas. This product was a lifesaver to my household.

I am not sure. With a previous conversation with my vet he had no concerns about the safety of Seresto. He also stated that it was extremely cost effectice.

All I know is what is on the label. You already have it. Both my dogs are using the product and it has no smell and do not see them (dogs) biting at fleas on the fur coats. I hope this helps.Eric

I asked my vet and she didn't have an answer so she called tech support for seresto. Apparently the collars come with a reflective tag that can come off and become a choking hazard. I hope this is true. I love to snuggle with my dog, but don't love fleas/ticks.

Bayer claims it is. I have 2 Golden Retrievers. They also swim a few times a week. I leave the collar on.I live in the worst County in NY State for Ticks. I have been very lucky so far. I use the Seresto collar plus I spray their legs and tail every morning before i take them running in the woods.I found a vinegar based tick repellant spray mix on the web.Then I brush them very well when we return. So far, so good !!!

No, I have not had any issues with the dye coming off on the dog. The collar has been very durable and I have experienced no issues with anything coming off on my dog.

Yes. It's the price for one collar. You won't have to change the collar or treat for fleas for up to 8 months. My cat has been wearing hers since the second week of May 2014 and I have not seen ONE SINGLE FLEA!! no flea dirt no scratching nothing. I used Advantage 2 before this and this collar is way better. I know $50 might seem like a lot of cash, but do the math, I was paying $65 for 3 months of Advantage, that's over $20 a month, so far I'm in my fifth month with no fleas so if it stops working tonight, that's only $10 a month. And I'm telling you it works better than the drops and no oily mess for her to try to lick off!! Yes. It's the price for one collar.

As far as we can tell immediately, the smell it present as soon as it is put on. The smell fades over the next few days. Make sure to put it on parting the fur and patiently applying it were the neck meets the top of the head, it is hard for the cat to get at it. This gives it has a chance to soak in.I asked my vet and she was very happy to show me how the first time. We have used it for 4 years and had no sign of anything. The neighbors upstairs had fleas on all they're cats (who never go outside) but we haven't. We are careful to do it each month the same day so the coverage doesn't laps. We just mark the day on the calendar like any other appointment. We are an active and social family and people can bring in fleas and ticks on there clothes. They attach to the shoes,pants and socks, looking for opportunity.I hope this is helpful.

I would call them. I have seen reviews saying their customer service is good. They will want to help. Our collar is still charging for us. It is almost 8 months old.

For us here in SC, near the Georgia state line, we are having better luck with Seresto than with anything else. We used tabs from the vet last year. Something new and pretty expensive...these collars are working just as well and I don't have to give 7 dogs & 2 cats pills each month! Seresto will be more economical in the long run.

No , not at all , my dogs skin and fur are amazing I'd check a food allergy. Stop using it , then check. My dogs coats are flat out gorgeous. Also any topical tick and flea med can affect skin. Flea collars - other animals.......

Well, it just might, there is no scent in these tage that might smell good enough to eat. I liked the idea of non-chemical repellant, also, but my dog is very old, 18, and would have seizures. He cannot tolerate a "regular" flea collar and for what ever reason still had frequent seizures with the Tags. Please let me know how your dog repondes to these. Merry Christmas.

we live in tick heaven, the woods of the Ozarks. without protection the dog would be covered. Seresto has not repelled the ticks, but they bite and die. We still have to pick ticks every two days. There will be 12-20 on the day, in the process of shrinking and dying. The only reason I have not returned to preventic collars every 4 weeks (not 6) is we are testing this collar for our vet. Advantix and frontline dont work well for us here. If we went back to preventic, the collars would end up costing about as much over time as for the one Seresta but they do deliver protection quickly. Seresta appears to build up over the first month. If anyone finds the perfect solution we would love to hear about it. we live in tick heaven, the woods of the Ozarks. without protection the dog would be covered.

I didn't notice a smell. It is very pretty but I find it stiff. I think it looks uncomfortable on my dogs. I was disappointed with the quality of the collar. I ordered 2 and haven't used them.

I asked my vet if the collars have to be disposed of in the original can, are we being exposed to toxins every time we touch our cat? His answer was that the disposal requirement is to protect other animals who would chew on the collar. He didn't feel that the collars were a problem to humans. Our cat who sleeps with us also wears a Seresto collar which is why I asked. You may want to ask Bayer.
