Like everyone else here, myself and my animal companions of years past have been victims of Hartz products. I can’t begin to tell of the horror stories I have heard and personally witnessed through friends and their families and through total strangers looking for answers to the sudden illness and even death of their beloved [...]

Hennessy
My kitty Hennessy was a beautiful persian black mix kitty. At barely 6 mos old he was absolutely charming. Last Wed. 2/23/05 I sprayed him with a flea and tick killer spray not ever thinking it would lead to his death. Well by the 2nd day he was coughing and looking horrible. I took him [...]
Trying to do the ”Right” thing
I wish to let everyone know that Hartz has claimed another innocent animal. I just buried a dear friends cat that she left for me to care for while she was finding another apt. Thinking she was doing the right thing to help her cat she brought her to me along with her bed, toys, [...]
Reaction to Hartz flea drops
I was so glad to see this web site! I am relieved to know that at least this problem is regognized and there is a support for victims. I have had my cat Marley for almost 12 years. It has always been a priority for me that Marley his side kick Frankie are comfortable and [...]
Close Call
When I was growing up, we never had much cash and used products we bought at the local mart in attempt to treat our animals as well as we treated ourselves. Though I am financially able and paranoid enough now to exercise all of this care under the supervision of my wonderful vet, the extent [...]
Do Not Combine These Two Hartz Products
I purchased Hartz’ Control Flea & Tick Guard for Cats (spray) for my cat K.C (aka KittyCat). She already had on a standard Hartz flea collar. She was treated by myself with the spot spray. The following day I noticed she was making some strange noises, so I looked closer. I was horrified to realize [...]

The Price of a 7 month old Kitten
We were told that the Hartz flea and tick product that was applied to the dog caused the seizures and the death of our kitten. The product was not applied to the kitten just to the dog- but because of some type of exposure to the chemical ( same found in the cat drops) the [...]

PULL HARTZ OFF THE SHELVES…NOW!!!!!
This is a letter I sent to the EPA – I just saw a Special Report on my local TV News (WFLA) tonight on the “Hartz Flea & Tick” products for Cats. http://multimedia.tbo.com/ IT’S RIDICULOUS that Hartz gets to just “settle” lawsuits and just “re-label” their products considering the disturbing video I saw of what [...]
HARTZ FLEA DROPS- Almost killed my 1 year Siamese Skye

Miraculous Recovery
I will never forget the first time I applied Hartz Flea and Tick medication on my cat. She was 6 years old, and very active and healthy. She had her own agenda, and was never very clingy. That night, she had seizures that kept getting worse, she was crying and throwing herself around and even [...]
My Vet Warned Me!
I live in Fresno, California. My Vet. is in Reedley. I trust him with all of my pets. One day I brought my kitten in after putting the Hartz drops on his neck. I didn’t put the recommended amount because it seemed quite alot to me, thank God. My Vet. immediately washed Mo (my kitty) [...]
indestructable toy destructed
I recently bought a toy by hartz that was supposed to be indestructable to puppies. My five month old Great Dane totally destroyed it. GD’s are not known for their deadly jaws, so this toy does not stand a chance against any Bully breeds. This toy is a yellow ball with different color ‘pegs’ that [...]
Now I know why Hammer died
Some years ago I had a pit bull puppy I called Hammer. Right after we got him, I used a puppy flea shampoo on him from Hartz. I don’t remember exactly which one, but I know that it was Hartz because I bought it from the supermarket, and that is all they sell. That night [...]

Hartz – almost killed my cat
Hello, My cat was a victim of the Hartz 3 in 1 flea and tick drops. She suffered terrible side-effects from this product. My cat was lucky, after 2 nights in the hospital, she survived, but I am taking action to be reimbured for my vet bills, and I’m also taking action with PETA and [...]
