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 [...]

My home was visited by an old stray who had obvious skin problems. I spent some time online learning about mange mites after my own cat began to lose hair on his ears later that week – I had fed the poor scruffy old thing several times, and if not for fear of transmitted diseases, [...]

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.

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 [...]
