UPDATE: Hartz paid!
I wrote back in October that Hartz flea and tick drops nearly killed our cat, Samantha and we racked up $500 in vet bills. well, we wrote Hartz a letter and submitted all of our vet documentation and bills and just today we received a check from Hartz for the full amount along with a [...]
Our Response From Hartz
A few months ago, we had our very own Hartz Horror Story with Apolo, our kitten. I sent a letter to Hartz detailing our experience. A few days after that I saw a news story and found this website. Hartz requested I send them all of our information including the vet’s diagnosis, an itemized bill, [...]
My Poor Freak
I have a very small kitten whom I have cared for since he was 4 weeks old. His mother pushed him aside, along with three of his littermates because they were sick. These poor kittens had contracted a virus. Two of them unfortunately didn’t make it and the lone survivor was named Freak. It took [...]
Mary’s Story
I had a kitty girl named Mary who was 14 years old. I took good care of her and loved her for 12 years. She was my best friend and I loved her with all of my heart. The first week of October, 2003 I purchased Hartz flea drops to rid her of her fleas. [...]
HELP — WHAT CAN WE DO AGAINST HARTZ
our cats (3) were mistakenly poisoned today because the plastic vials of flea medication looked exactly like other tubes that we have used in the past just for cats & kittens (which instead were for our huge dogs). There was no labelling on the products to indicate that it was lethal or deadly or any [...]
Not only Hartz….
I work at a veterinarian office, and I have seen first-hand incidences of reactions to many O.T.C. flea preventions. We had a lady come in that had bathed her 3 cats in Sergents flea & tick shampoo for cats, and they all died within a day of each other. She was so devestated that we [...]
flea drops nightmare!
As I write this my little buddy is in the animal hospital hooked up to an IV struggling for his life. I wish that I never put those flea drops on my cat. I will hold a vigil tonight with the kids and hope our poor guy pulls through.

Hartz flea spray and drops killed 2 of my precious cats this week. I did not know of this problem with the Hartz spray until this happened to me. I lost 2 beautiful siamese cats that can never be replaced in my heart. they were young and should have lived many more years in my [...]
My Cat Cybil
About 4 years ago when my Cybil kitty was about 7 months old, I gave her a flea treatment. Less than 24 hours later, she was acting very strange. She was shaking and twitching and having uncontrollable muscle spasams for about 12 to 15 hours. My income was way below poverty level, about $450.00 per [...]
All Flea Drops are bad
Not only Hartz will kill your cat, but many others will kill it. Sergeants flea drops can also kill your pet. My mom put the drops on my cat, and later on he was having seizures. My mom thought he was just acting crazy when the dog chased him up the couch and upset him. [...]

My 1996 experience
In 1996, I adopted my then 4 yr. old Buddy, Himalayan cat from our local shelter. He got the BEST of care always, but then I lost my job and was desperate to find a cheaper alternative for his flea problem. I truly was broke then, so I thought the Hartz would work just fine, [...]
Petra and Pandora
I just got two kittens – Petra and Pandora… they are just at 12 weeks old, but have fleas, so I used some Hartz (for cats and kittens 10lbs or under) that I had purchased a few weeks ago (in anticipation of getting my sweet girls)… I applied the drops at around 5pm… then, at [...]
