My cat would have been two next month if we had not had to put her down. We did use Hartz on her. Last year she developed severe diarrhea with blood and mucus. Then she lost a lot of weight. We took her to the vet and he gave her steroids. She gained the weight [...]

I used this product on my cat in March 2003, and he seemed to get very sick from it. He held his eyes half closed and was very aggitated for about a day or so. My brother commented that maybe I shouldn’t use the rest of it, so I never did. I didn’t think much [...]

I wish that I had found this website before I subjected my cat to the Hartz Advanced Care product last evening. This was the first time I’ve medicated my cat for fleas & I was terribly wrong to trust this company’s product. My cat was notably agitated a few hours after the medication was applied [...]

I bought one of Hartz’s flea and tick collars for my Morgan — a beautiful black cat with whie whiskers. Within a couple of days she developed a very ugly rash on her neck. It was all read and oozing puss. I noticed when she was constantly scratching her neck When I saw the rash, [...]

I applied Hartz Flea & Tick medication to my year old cat, Beeper – neck, as instructed on July 26, 3-2004, at around 7:00 PM. The next morning around 6:30 she began to act very strangely….jerking around, not letting us touch her, not able to stand for more than a couple steps at a time. [...]

I thought I was a pretty savvy consumer, and a knowlegeable pet owner. I also thought that any product on the shelf with a name so wellknown as Hartz should be fine. My black and white long haired cat – K.C. – got fleas from a visiting relative’s mini daschund. Since we’ve never been plagued [...]

I ran out of Advantage flea preventative, so I tried Hartz 4-in-1. Since it was available in a pet store, I didn’t think it would be a problem. After applying to both of my cats according to the instructions, both cats experienced severe irritation at the site of application (neck). Within a few hours they [...]

Well, as seems to be the case on this website, there is yet another poor innocent kitten that is falling to the evil Hartz empire. I personally do not like cats all that much. It has nothing to do with their demeanor, as I find them to be some of the cutest animals on the [...]

I bought the Hartz flea and tick meds to try on my two cats last year during the flea season. The first month I put it on them, they started shaking violently after about two hours. I bathed both of my cats and I called the 1-800 number on the Hartz box and they said [...]

My 5 year old cat was given Hartz. Soon after, we took him to the vet because of weight loss and hair loss. They had no explanation for it. They said it was probably an allergic reaction and sent him home. Now it has been about a week or two and he’s gone into seizures [...]

I gave my 7 month old 2 drops of Hartz Advanced Flea & Tick medicine. I did not give her the full vial due to her young age and size. Five days later, my kitten greeted me as I returned home, as she always did. She seemed fine. Later in the evening I went downstairs [...]

In May my cat Jon became very sick because of putting the hartz drops on my dogs. Not even directly on him. Sadly he finally died a week ago. Next month he was going to be 3. He was fighting, but the poisons that Hartz has sold was just too much for him. Please don’t [...]

Upon going to the pet store to look for flea products, I discovered that Hartz flea drops were much cheaper than some other brands. Not being rich, I bought the Hartz brand and applied the treatment to my three cats, ages 10 yrs, 9 yrs and 6 months. Twelve hours later, my 10 yr old [...]

I had no idea until just now that there was such an awful thing like this going on. I gave my cat Sunny, the drops just the other day, and THANK GOD, he is okay! He did seem to have lost his appetite that day though. I can’t believe that this product has killed so [...]

I just wanted people to know how horrible this product is. I put Hartz flea drops on my 13 yr old cat last week and she died from it yesterday. I didn’t realize what was going on until I started reading some of the testimonials from people who have lost their pets from this crap. [...]

I remember a number of years ago another Hartz flea/tick product was killing/sickening animals and was eventually taken off the market. Hartz denied it was at fault, of course. After that incident, I vowed to never use any Hartz product, because they refused to accept any blame or to voluntarily remove their product from the [...]

I work for a groomer. Dogs come in all the time with those annoying flea collars (I think hartz is one of the few companies left that makes those things) anyway, whatever is in them makes me physically ill. They don’t work, and if I am getting sick just washing the dog that is wearing [...]

I bought my new kitten as a gift for my boyfriend three weeks ago. He is now 14 weeks old. When we bought him we noticed he had a few fleas but vowed to wait until he was at least 12 weeks old to treat the fleas. We ended up waiting until he was 14 [...]

This was about 25 years ago. I went over to my very good friend, Mark’s house to visit with him. Mark had a huge German Shepherd named “Smokey”. He and I were good buddies. I went outside to tussle with him. Just before I arrived at Mark’s house, his mom had placed a brand new [...]

On October 9, 2002 my Basset Hound Lenny suddenly, without warning, went into convulsions. He was having one grand mal after another! We rushed him to the vet. There, he was given a good dose of Valium and Phenobarbitol. The vet asked if Lenny had been around any pesticides. I couldn’t recall that he had [...]
