This is an alert for dog owners: last week one of my dogs was very lethargic and wouldn't eat. I had purchased online one of the grey long-life flea and tick collars
that come in a tin (I won't name the brand unless admin approve). The first thing I did was remove the collar, which resolved the issue. I have spoken to the manufacturer's
technical services, and they confirm that this collar is in fact a counterfeit one, probably from China. There is no batch number etched on the collar that matches the one on the tin.
The advice was to purchase from a vet or authorisd seller, and beware if the price is less than 30€. Having said that, my neighbour bought on from the largest online retailer for 35€.
That too is a fake, and his dog was the same. Just be careful.
I am soon to purchase some of these Collars. Please can you tell us the name of the online company you purchased from, so as I can avoid. Thankyou. ****

I'm told you have to look for serial number on the collar itself ****
