I am SO HAPPY I came upon this web site. I had no idea that Hartz had such a reputation, I thought I had an isolated incident. I was contemplating purchasing Frontline or Hartz, actually I was looking up the active ingredients, and I am positive I will never buy Hartz again. A few months [...]

Almost a memory on Memorial Day.
My 9 month old cat hangs out with my two dogs. Now that the weather is nice, the dogs spend most of the day outside. My cat kept scrambling for the door so that he could be out with his friends. (Originally, we thought he’d be an indoor cat). After running after him one too [...]

Place the blame where it belongs…but be smart too
I work at a vet clinic. Every summer we get a countless stream of flea toxicity in cats (and dogs) from Hartz products. Now while I greatly dislike Hartz and all that they do, people need to start realizing exactly what they’re putting on the animals they live with. Hartz, like all flea products, is [...]

Hartz continues to sell harmful product under new name
After applying Hartz UltraGuard plus drops to my cat’s neck, she lost all of the fur under her collar and now has a ring of red, irritated and itchy skin around her neck. The vet says that chances are the fur will not grow back because the chemicals damage the hair follicals. Four days later, [...]
