I am a veterinary technician and was turned on to this web site thru a friend. It angers and saddens me that this can happen to our pets. Many consumers are not aware of the risks that may be involved with the use of over-the-counter medications or remedies. Hartz, as well as many other name [...]

I used Hartz flea treatments on both of my cats one night before bed. One of the cats licked all the treatment off during the night and when I woke up she was trembling, very weak, and her eyes were dialated – the other was fine. I took them both to my vet. $300 and [...]

My small dog (9 lbs) immediately (within 5 minutes) began to throw up after receiving the drops. It was this weird foamy vomit and he kept vomiting until it was pink w/blood. I cannot say with 1000% certainty it was the medicine BUT I can say he was fine…TOTALLY FINE…until I put it on his [...]

My 18 month old Bengal cat, Jessie, became lethargic, and I took her to my vet. She said Jessie had a virus, and gave her a shot that she said would “bring her around”. Four days later she wasn’t any better, and suddenly took a turn for the worse at about midnight. She died at [...]

I had three cats – Eddie, Flower, and Shy. All three came down with fleas, so I got them each a Hartz Flea Collar. I thought these were safe, because there were so many on the shelf at our local PetSmart. PetSmart sells so many high end products, and seem so trustworthy, that I didn’t [...]

On Saturday evening, my husband and I treated our cat Isabelle with Hartz Ultra Guard Plus flea drops. She of course did not like this and tried to get it off, but as we put it on the back of her neck at the base of her skull like the box advised, I was not [...]

I can’t understand why this toxin is still being sold off the shelves when it kills animals! Is this not a form of animal cruelty?! Don’t these people use animals to test this junk on? They should be sued for every penny they’ve made off of us! Before I knew of this, I used Hartz [...]
