I applied Hartz to my 86.4 lb lab recently and the next morning he had a very severe seizure. I was only aware of the dangers for cats, but apparently Hartz is also extremely dangerous for dogs – even big dogs! I took him to the vet immediately and he stayed all day for observation. [...]

I used Hartz Control Flea and Tick Replent spray on my cat Merlyn. It was horrible, he started frothing at the mouth, his eyes glazed over and he wouldn’t move. When he did move, he ran like he was trying to get away from it. Luckily he didn’t have convulsions nor did he have to [...]
