We put Hartz on our cat because my girlfriend thought that it would be O.K. since she had applied K9 Advantage to her grandmothers cats in the past without incident.  We love our cat dearly and this was an honest mistake that is commonly made.  I just want to tell my story so it may [...]

My 14 lb miniature poodle had the same negative reaction described by others, immediately following application of Sergeant’s Gold Flea&Tick Squeeze on – running around frantically, scratching non-stop, eating grass, foaming at the mouth, vomiting.  We bathed him twice that evening and gave him a Benadryl.  He continued this behavior all night long and when he [...]

I am fostering a litter of kittens and when they were 4 weeks old, I asked my mother to pick up a can of formula at the store. I was very specific about the brand, but she accidently picked up Hartz milk replacer. She later called me, frantic, because after ingesting the Hartz formula, all [...]

I was at the store, and decided to buy the Hartz UltraGuard Plus, as we were out of the Frontline.  My cats, adopted 6 months ago from the Humane Society, are mostly garage and outside cats due to my allergies, so they get fleas and ticks if left untreated.  I went home, treated both cats [...]

I’ve known about Hartz products for years, but was talking recently with a friend about my current cats.  We got onto a discussion about how you just can’t make some cats wear collars!  It reminded me of the Hartz collar that almost killed my first cat.  The fiasco went as such: I was 12, maybe [...]

The America consumer spends half a billion dollars annually  on products that kill fleas. Many of these products are not only unsafe for animals but also many have toxic effects on humans. The EPA, registers most of these products as safe pestcides. They are not safe. On 02/11/01 I became brutally aware of Hartz flea [...]

Unfortunately I didn’t read these reviews before I purchased flea products at my local Petsmart. I decided on the Sentry XFC flea drops that go on the dog’s back.

On Friday June 12, 2009, I purchased Sargeants Gold for my Chihuahua (Spike).  My husband and I applied it as directed at 8:30pm, within 30 minutes he started panting, twitching, scratching, and his skin turned red as fire.  We immediately put him in the bathtub and washed him with Dawn dish soap, before we could [...]

Completely unaware of the risk I used HARTZ Ultra guard on my one year old pit bull. Almost immediately he became moody and lethargic (which is completely out of character). Two days after the initial use he began to foam at the mouth and experience muscular fasciculation (seizures) followed by muscle weakness and vomitting. Right away [...]

I am a veterinary professional (not a doctor) and it’s crazy that after my first experience with the toxic reaction from these products, over 10 years ago, is still going on.
