It doesn’t take long to notice something is very, very wrong… A few years ago my first pets (2 cats) had gotten fleas, and since they were my first animals I didn’t know what I was doing. I should have called my vet but I didn’t. I went to the grocery store and bought some Hartz flea & tick stuff you put on there backshoulders. Seemed easy enough. So I get home put in on them and they went NUTS! They started pawing at their heads, squinting their eyes, running as fast as they could through the house until throwing themselves onto the floor into a howling craze. I thought they were just being sissys about it, so I paid no real mind. Until 2 days later they wouldn’t snap out of it, not opening their eyes, not eating or anything. I took a wash cloth, washed it off and they snapped back. Coincidence? I don’t think so. I will never use their products again.

I used Hartz control Onespot flea medication on my cats last night, I have 3 cats, and within 10 or 15 minutes of putting this “medication” on them, all 3 cats were running around like mad, doing everything they could to get this stuff off of them, so i got on the net and started looking up on this Hartz product, and as soon as i read stories much like these, i was saddened. I immediately grabbed a rag and some dish soap to try and wash it off of them, cuz it was obvious there was a problem. they seem fine today, but one of them now has what looks like a kind of burn on his neck… its completely red. I feel like i am to blame for this because I am the one who bought this product and put it on my animals…i feel so bad about it. these products should NOT be allowed to be sold ANYWHERE. Please, please, do NOT use these products. I was gunna go to bed afterwards, and i’m lucky i didn’t and i payed attention to what was going on, because, who knows what would have happened otherwise.

Hartz products should be renamed, Hurtz, cuz thats all these products seem to do is hurt animals. it’s sickening that products like these are still being sold =(
