My kitten could have died..
I used a Sentry (I believe it’s also called Sergeant’s) spray on my 2 kittens yesterday now knowing that there were any dangers what-so-ever.

Good intentions killing my cat?

This site helped to protect my chihuahua
I bought the Hartz 4-in-1 flea treatment for small puppies and dogs and used it on my 5 month old chihuahua. I thought to myself that I would just use it until we got the expensive stuff just to avoid getting fleas. After about half and hour, the treatment was still oily and visible and [...]

Marty Mouse is Dangerous
Recently a friend purchased one of Hartz’s products, “Marty Mouse”, for our cats as a Christmas present. The toy is marketed as a cat toy and has a long tail with a bell attached to the end. The tail is clearly the piece that attracts the cat to the toy. This was certainly the case [...]
