One word. Wow. For those who have used Hartz products and have suffered or seen the effects of it can all agree in asking the question “Why is this stuff still on store shelves?” I recently found out that my 2 month old puppy Mei had fleas. I was able to get some of them [...]

Yesterday I bought this stuff in effort to save money on flea and tick control…. After about an hour of applying it to my yorkie-poo, he began to drool and run around crazily. I knew very quickly it was the flea product. ( he was fine before the application) I immediately gave him a bath [...]

Friday evening I applied Sargeants Gold Flea and Tick to my 3 cockapoos.  By midnight they were slamming themselves against the kennel walls and backing and crying.  We tried to calm them down but they were VERY agitated.  Finally we let them out and put them in the family room.  They barked and banged into [...]

Oh my goodness, I, like everyone else on this website, cannot believe this is happening.  Why is this stuff still on the market??  If Hartz was truly trying to help cats and owners, they would fess up to their mistakes and pull their products. Yesterday morning, I put Hartz Ultra Guard Pro Flea and Tick [...]

I honestly thought I was doing something good for my dog.  She had gotten some fleas, and although we bathe her twice a week she was still suffering.  So I went to walmart and bought this.  It looked appealing, and was not the cheapest thing they had, it was 12.00 for the box.  I truly [...]

I’ve never used any Hartz product on my dog, a six-year-old, medium-sized mixed breed, before. She has had fleas in the past, once we used Frontline. I saw Hartz in Waldbaums and, being cheaper, I figured it was worth a try. I wish I had done my research first. After applying the drops exactly as [...]

I put Hartz flea drops on my cat Henry about 3 weeks ago.  He didn’t seem to mind.  Gradually he got more and more lethargic.  Last week I noticed a mass in his abdomen.  I took him to the vet who told me it could have been from the drops.  I had no clue flea [...]

Just found this website.  I had twice bathed my cat with hartz ultraguard foaming flea and tick shampoo.  I also used an ultraguard one spot flea treatment on her.  From time to time, she had had seizures and convulsions that would last a few minutes and then go away.  Two weeks ago, she went into such [...]

We normally use Frontline, but I thought I saw fleas on one of my Shih-tzu dogs. It was Saturday night and I bought this stuff from Wal-Mart. Big mistake. Applied as directed and within 20-30 minutes,the dogs were scratching the area and extremely agitated. We saw this and washed the medicine off with two baths. [...]

Last weekend, I was unable to pick up Frontline to treat Cassandra for our flea problem.  Sunday evening  Kmart was open and I stopped to see if they stocked any flea medication.   Hartz products were the only line being carried by the store.  Since Hartz has long been a well-known pet product name, I purchased their Ultraguard flea drops.  I [...]
