Hartz Poisons My Alfie

Posted by left_blank in August 30th 2003  

One year and eight months ago I applied Hartz Flea drops to my cat, Alfie. I never realized there was trouble with this product. Frankly, I had been using it for years on two of my other cats and friends cats when they stayed with me. I am surprised I never poisoned a cat before [...]

Warned Not To Use Hartz In Time!

Posted by left_blank in August 29th 2003  

My cat is one of the lucky ones.I’ve had cats all through my life, and when I was young, none of our cats (who were indoor/outdoor by parental decision) was ever infested with fleas. This past December, I moved in with my fiance (now husband) who is in the Coast Guard. Because I missed my [...]

I almost lost my Casey

Posted by Terri in August 29th 2003  

On August 18, 2003 I applied Hartz Advanced Care Flea and Tick Drops to my Casey. I was home with her for a time and then left to take my nieces to lunch. When I got home a few hours later, I couldn’t find Casey, who normally runs to meet me. I started calling and [...]

Thank God I stayed home from work….

Posted by christy927 in August 28th 2003  

My one year old kitty has been suffering from a bad case of fleas recently. My master plan was to get both of my cats treated at the same time, then remove them for a day and de-bug the apartment. Tobey (the youngest and victim) had been tearing herself to pieces over this and had [...]

Hartz nearly killed my cat.

Posted by Esthar-Bengals in August 26th 2003  

Since Hartz is a well-known brand that has been available for years, when our cats got fleas, we decided to pick up a package of Hartz Flea & Tick Control. We applied it to the backs of the necks of three of our cats, two neutered male mongrels and a female bengal breeder. The two [...]

Hartz killed my cat!

Posted by left_blank in August 26th 2003  

Sith (my 2 1/2 yr. old Black Domestic Shorthair) had some fleas. I went to Walmart and purchased Hartz drops, brought it home and put it on him. Putting medicine on him is a feat in itself since he only allows you to touch him when it’s convenient for him (his Mom was a Siamese). [...]

A week and a half ago I applied Hartz Advanced care flea drops, for under 10 lb. cats, on my three year old male cat Mo. He is twelve lbs. and so I figured it would be a light dose of this product. He did not exhibit any signs immediately. However, he seemed to hide [...]

We lost our cat Figaro in July. We thought we were using a safe product since it carried the Hartz name and was over the counter. We assumed it would be milder than the products from the vet. We used the Hartz flea and tick drops on all three of our cats as instructed by [...]

Yesterday I purchased Hartz advanced care brand flea and tick drops. I was completely unaware of the danger they posed to my healthy 2 year old cat. Hours after I used the product, I noticed that he was avoiding me (at first I attributed this to the new kitten). Then I noticed he was rather [...]

Hi! I gave my cats a treatment last night. I noticed that one is acting distant. His ears were flicking and he had some slight twitching. It is impossible to bathe these guys, so I tried wiping it off a bit. They are both still a little distant, but I haven’t seen any twitching. Should [...]
