Congress: Flea And Tick Collar Linked To Dog Deaths

An investigation found 75,000 incidents linked to the Seresto collar and 1,700 pet deaths. Congress says those numbers have increased.

It's something thousands of grieving pet owners across the country have been waiting to hear — an effort from the government to pull Soresto Flea and Tick collars off the market. 

"The steps we are asking for today are crucial because it's important to protect our pets and our families too," Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi said.

The collars in question were at the center of a House Congressional hearing Wednesday.
