I have posted on this site before, as my cat suffered adverse reactions from the 4-in-1 flea product. After I found out that the product was at last being recalled, I was filled with mixed emotions. Great that it was happening, bad that it was happening so late, and that the process of completely taking [...]

Class Action Lawsuit

To the Author of
I was just curious as to what “chemical” was found in your cat? Because the chemical or active ingrediant in the Hartz Flea and Ticks drops is a chemical that cannot be detected in the blood stream or in anything else for that matter. I would love to know where your vet got that “there [...]
Possible victory thanks to EPA

The story of my cat, Yoda
I got Yoda in June of 2002. She was a very loving and cuddly cat that loved as much attention as she could get. She would play fetch, and just liked to lay with people. In December of 2002 I noticed that she had some fleas so I went to PetsMart and got some of [...]

Paralysis and death to older cat

I have used Hartz products, as well as Sergeants products on my cats many times and have never had a problem with them, as have friends of mine who also have cats and are cat lovers.

Last Night at the emergency clinic
If anything I thought that the over the counter product like Hartz Flea drops would be too mild. I applied the drops to my cat last night and with a hour she was twitching, hiding, and had dilated eyes. I call the emergency clinic and was told to was her with dish soap and bring [...]
Get Your
Hi all, In response to LoveHartz’s, LovesHartz’s (whatever) story submitted on 7/17/05 regarding the “Facts” about Hartz products, I think we all know the reality of the situation. The “Facts” author advises us that we are all wrong wrong wrong. We should report our cases to Hartz, ask for their DVM’s advise on what to [...]

My two pets almost died.
I called the number on the Hartz website to ask them what they expect people to do when animals are having a deadly reaction and are damaged by their flea products. I was told by a rude man to wash the animal and take him to the vet. When I asked if they are planning [...]

My story is no different than the ones I’ve read on this site. I put Hartz Flea and Tick Drops on my 7 pound cat and three days later she was experiencing tremors, was very ill, and almost died. I’m VERY upset with the Hartz Company and can’t believe that there haven’t been lawsuits. I [...]
