Counterfeit items

Just enquiring whether anyone has experienced a problem with counterfeit reptile accessories? I ask because I recently bought 3 dog and 5 cat seresto collars via a third party to save a few quid and not the vets like I usually do, anyway long story short, they have been proven to be counterfeit! Got me thinking as they will fake anything these days, and a dodgy UVB bulb could be disastrous. So is It best to pay the extra and buy in store or are the major third party dealers safe enough?

Honestly, I would buy from a trusted retailer. Unless you know people that have bought from the third party before and know that they are credible and safe to purchase from, I would buy in store. Hope this helps.
 
I’m going to be very weary from now on as to what I buy where, going to visit a big reptile store soon, a bit of a drive but always a good day out, well for me anyway, I’ll suss them out
