My husband and I adopted Lucky Strike, a retired racing greyhound, in March of 2003. The adoption group told us that Frontline and Heartgard were the best products to use, but when we found out they cost almost $30 a month from the vet, we decided to go cheaper and get the store-brand. I had [...]

Many months ago, back in July 2006, I administered an over-the-counter Hartz Cat Wormer, purchased at Walmart. Within 6 hours my older Siamese was acting drunk. Within 10 hours he couldnt walk, and within 12 he was paralized and convulsing. It was horrifying. Fortunately he survived, but from what i read on this site…. we [...]

The day I adopted Lilly, a shy silver tabby kitten, I discovered she had a little flea problem. I purchased the Hartz flea spray and read the directions.

I worked at a Vets office for 3 years and have heard many stories of people complaing about Hartz products. Since we only sold Advantage and Frontline, we really pushed those products. I have seen many animals come in and spoken with owners after they’ve used the product on the animals and it’s not pretty. [...]

Hartz has killed again. We purchased a small kitten (approximately 6-7 months old) from a neighbor. We felt that we “rescued” the kitten because the little kitten was always hanging around our business, under cars, in the parking lot, etc. Well, the kitten probably would have had a better chance at survival had we not [...]
