I am so thankful that both of my toy poodles are still alive. Last Sunday 7-11-10 I purchased a package of Sargents Gold flea and tick med. It didn’t take long before my little ones started acting like their skin was burning and itching. I really didn’t know what to do except give them a bath and get as much of it washed as possible. That night I was up all night with both dogs, Abbey my little girl was the worst. I thought she was going to die before the night was over. I kept a cool wash cloth on her back all night. They were both coughing and scratching and crying all night long. Andy the male finally went to sleep. Abbey seemed a little better the next day but still in aot of pain and somewhat incoherent and she was also nipping at my clothes. I went to the rite aid and purchased a bottle of bactine.I also bought some childrens benadryl that helped with the allergic reaction??? She wouldn’t let me put the bactine on only if I put the wash cloth on first and then poured it on top of the cloth. It is Sunday the 18th and finally she is starting to act normal and maybe I can get her to trust me again. Everytime I start to touch her back she jumps around to see what I am doing. Shame on you Sargents.These helpless animals trust us to do what is best, I almost lost(killed) one of my best friends because of your poison. You’ll never get another penny of my money. God put these little ones here for us to love and take care of. Shame on you

My cat was pulling out his hair because of fleas. It was a Sunday, so I bought Seargents at walmart..I have trusted the floor powder in the past. I woke up the next morning and noticed he had thrown up. Something he never does… He is now returning to normal after 4 days….Never again, he can scratch until the vet opens…Shame on you seargeants

I found a few fleas on our cat and one on our mini-dachsund…so went to Dollar General and bought the Sergeant’s Silver and the flea and tick squeeze on for both the dachsund and our other dog who’s about 60 lbs. I haven’t noticed any bad effects yet but after reading all these comments I am a bit freaked out. Can anyone tell me how long before I can be sure my pets are in the clear?

Just got back from the vet. My Shih tzu had a bad reaction to the Sergeants Gold flea and tick treatment. I noticed within 10 min she was not handling it well at all. Gave her a bath a Benadryl and after finding all these complaints I called the vet. They gave her a steroid shot, more to take over a week period. Poor thing, I hate that I did this to her with something I thought was safe. She is still itching and miserable. I’m pissed too!

Well yesterday I was at savemart and saw the sergents silver got it for our 9lb terrier mix, usually use frontline but was out and vet was closed. So I figured its a name brand so it should work for the one itty bitty flea we found. Bad idea put it on her like at 8pm, just a little though since she is small and went to take my children a bath. Good thing I didn’t use the whole tube who knows what would of happened. My husband and I heard her running around the carpet like a crazy dog. My husband came out of the restroom and was like somethings wrong with bella, she is rubbing her ears and neck on the carpet. I came out to take a look and she was running all over the place wimpering and rubbing the sofa and fireplace with her back. First thing that came to my mind was allergies. So got the kids ready for bed and called the 800 number. A man told me she may be allergic and to use dawn. Which I did and she was a little better but still itchy today. So I looked up allergies and dogs and came across this site. The upside it only took about 45 minutes for us to relize something was wrong and to bathe her with the dawn. She is better today but it was hard seeing her all itchy and having to explain to 3 children under 5 as to why bella would not play with them today. She slept most of the day, since she was up itcin all night. Poor baby, tomarrow its back to purchasing frontline but im gonna wait a while befor i apply it. I just feel bad for all the people whose dogs suffered before they relized it was the med.. I mean poisen that was causing all the problems. Hope all your pets get better and pray no one else has to have a pet die from this stuff.

I feel terrible- I put this on my dog, Cooper, a few days ago and he is a completely different dog. He used to be so happy and hyper and now he just is crying and running around in circles and scratching his back. I have given him three baths, given him some benadryl and I have a vet appointment tomorrow. I called Seargents and was so sick to my stomach when I heard the customer service call menu… press 1 if you have a concern about one of our products, press 2 if you have a medical emergency- press 3 for general- ARE YOU SERIOUS? I work in marketing and public relations and let me tell you – unless I am a hospital, I do not want those as my main consumer product options on our call line. I am shocked at how they handled my complaint especially since I was almost in tears – they act like it’s normal and asked if I tried using Dawn to get the product off his back… All I could think of is those poor animals in the gulf after the oil spill and yet I DID THIS TO MY DOG. I research everything but figured since this was marketed at major stores that it had to be okay. So frustrating that they can still sell a product like this – and keep people employed on their customer service lines. They have to be so incredibly depressed every day to go home after listening to person after person deal with a severely ill animal. Please keep me posted on any potential lawsuits. I can’t believe I put this on my dog-

My 4 yr old, 12 lb chihuahua/ australian terrier had the wheezing, burping (as if he was going to throw up), excessive itching, redness in spots, even his whines and whimpers had a different tone of voice (if that makes sense). I used Sergeant’s Gold flea & tick squeeze-on, and so far I’ve had to wash my dog w/ dishwashing liquid twice, give him benadryl; and now I have to constantly rub him cause of the itching. He only seems to itch now…I AM PISSED. If I had lost this dog, it truly would’ve broken my heart. Thanks to everyone involved w/ this webnsite, it helped out a lot.

Wow. I was just going to buy some of this for my dog. She’s extremely allergic to fleas, and so far sergeant gold’s has been the only thing that’s worked for her. My dog has never had any of these symptoms. I guess we’re lucky. Still, after reading this I’m never buying it again. Does anyone have a good recommendation for other flea medicine for dogs? I would appreciate it. Also I’m so sorry to everyone who’s pet was affected by this medicine.
