I bought it at Pets mart and applied it on both my dogs, my female pit bull dog died 5 hours later- she began trembling about 2 hours after application and I took her straight to the vet hospital, they tried to stop her siezures, but were unsucessful she finally died from the drug- pryethrin- in the flea medication. My other dog, a male lab started showing signs of a reaction just like my female pit bull and was given the same medication - he survived, but after hours of wondering. He lived, but my baby girl died. They were both very healthly happy dogs before applying the flea medication. I called the 800 number on the box and they offer to cover the vet bills, but that is not the issue- my dog, my family member is gone- they could not pay for her life.
I am so overwhelmed with grief, what do I do now?
I am not sure who to call to sue them, but I would like to try.

We have to sue these ASSHOLES!! I treated my dog with Sentry Pro XFC yesterday about 4: 30 and she is VERY SICK NOW! Drooling,laying in puddles of drool,vomiting,she wont stand up on her own and has a fever.I have no money to take her to the vet today hopefully tomorrow we will be able to.But I am AFRAID she wont make it until then.So we are preparing to lose our baby.
As we speak she has no energy to even lift her head.I have given her tuna oil and bathed her but its not helping.The people at the 800 on the box are NO help and now that I have read and seen thousands of complaints on this stuff.I now know that they know whats going on! WE HAVE TO SUE THIS ASSHOLES!

I am so sorry to hear that- and I am sorry that she will not make it, even if you had taken her to the vet right away she might not make it- mine did not and I had to find out the hard way that in Michigan we cant even sue the company for damages because dog are considered by law a piece of property and they are not liable for any damages to your animals. They can sell that product that killed your family member and we cant sue. I have tried. In Michigan dogs are not considered by law to be living creatures and are property that one person owns like a car or a pair of shoes and we do not have any right to sue over a dead pair of shoes, I have called every lawter in Michigan and am told the same thing by everyone- I dont have a case I can win in court- even though the vet says my dog died of causes from the flea treatment nothing can be done. I am so sorry to tell you this but you can request and cost for the dogs death for vet bills will be reimbursed by the company- just call the 800# and ask to speak to someone in the Comsumer Affairs Dept. they will have some forms to fill out but will reimburse you the cost of the final vet bills for the dogs death, but that is all.

I am in the same boat.
I applied Sentry Pro to my dog (chihuahua) on Monday night and by Wednesday morning he was terribly sick. I thought he ate something bad but this morning I woke up to him trembling in a pool of blood. I rushed him to the doctor and his system was completely toxic! I almost lost him which is terrifying. Why is this being sold in pet stores?! He’s on lots of medication now and I’m out money for the vet bill and for being away from my office. This sucks.

OH MY GOD!!! I put this stuff on my St. Bernard who just turned 3. 3 hours later probably not even three hours.. he couldn’t walk.. legs trembling.. found a vet on a saturday.. they gave him iv fluids and a bath right away.. and they say he is going to be fine.. he is still in the hospital though.. I never could imagine that this could happen to hear these horrible stories.. i want to go and hug my dog.. my heart breaks for those of you who lost your pets.. i can’t even bear the thought.I am so sorry for you.. people need to know.. the thought that i put something on my beautiful dog that harmed him… it makes my heart actually hurt.

Everyone go to this website http://journal.drfaulken.com/sergeants-community-liason-responds-to-sentrypro-xfc-post/#comment-56104
there is alot of info on as there are about 350+ dogs this has happened to. My 2 dogs were the unfortunate ones tonight. I wish I had founf out about this earlier i would have never bought the SentryPro XFC. My heart is aching for my little Shih Tzu Izzie in the Vet trauma center right now!
There is a class action suit going on. One post also gives you a form to report this to the FDA. Mine will be in the mail tomorrow. i bought this product at Petsmart and will be contacting my local new station.
good Luck to you all!
