Approximately 6 months post collar application, in approximately Jun2015, the canine was hit by a car and died.

The reporting party did not contact Bayer Animal Health to

To be determined by Registrant
18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification
Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Death is not expected following appropriate topical product application as inconsistent with products pharmacological profile. Oral exposure to the collar is not
expected to cause serious sign either. Product has wide margin of safety. The cause of death was car accident. In case of suspected product involvement, adverse event would have been reported in close proximity and not long time after. Moreover, the reporting party did not contact Bayer Animal Health to report the death of the animal but to inquire about product usage on other animals. Overall, even though no necropsy was performed considering known safety profile of the product, product relation is unlikely.
