"Miss Tootsie" is around 8.5 lb. Within 15 minutes, she was coughing & continued to scratch. We washed off the product & made her swallow water. She had suffered a severe reaction, & I believe our quick action saved her. Please, please do not use this product. What do we have to do to have this removed from the market? I was very saddened to hear stories from other pet owners whose precious pets were also affected. "Miss Tootsie" seems fine now that the product has been removed from her skin & she has had large amounts of water.

I thought it was pretty safe. But I was wrong, indeed. My mom applied it to the back of my kitties neck, and later my cat started twitching her ears. She was also twitching her feet and losing her ability to jump. I tried to take some of that "medicine" off. Then I searched this product on the web, and I found this website. I was panicking. My cat was twitching more and she was hissing alot. I thought this problem would end soon, but i was wrong again. This was the first time she was acting strangely and it happened after the poison. I tried my best taking that stuff off with a towel, but I couldn't give her a bath because she hates water and she hated it even more when she felt like this. I thought this was a severe reaction, so we took her to the vet to get her washed. The vetenarian told us her reaction was mild and she should be fine. I was relievedddd. There is a high chance my cat should be fine and healed. My mom wanted to help my cat get rid of fleas, so she has bought Sergeant’s Gold Squeeze-on for my cat. I thought it was pretty safe.

It was a last minute Osco purchase and have greatly regreted it. My 13lb. Cavalier screamed in agony from the pain she was in. It took 2 trips to the vet for 2 shots and 2 oral medications with blood tests to give her some relief. The vet also called the poison control hotline to report it. They told me to put olive oil on her back but that just made her more miserable. Lucky enough we caught it before the head jurking became really bad. I will be going to Osco to demand they take it off their shelves. Please let me know what else I can do to stop the sale of it. I will gladly support and legal action we can take. July 29 @ 1PM

My indoor Siamese cat got his first ever flea infestation, and he's 4 years old. I bathed him in Sergeant's Gold Flea Bath and within hours he was sick. The next morning he was limp and would barely move; not his usual energetic and talkative self. I rushed him to the vet who told me that he gets more calls from people using this product than anything else and most of the time the outcome is not good! My cat was put on two medications: one for anti-seizure and the other was a charcoal to help absorb any poison. My cat lived, but it was very scary for a few days. I bought Frontline Plus and so far he is fine. I had bought the Gold Flea Bath because I thought I was saving money and because it was Memorial Day Weekend, I didn't want to have to bother my vet. I didn't save any money and I still had to contact my vet. That stupid $6 bottle of cat shampoo ended up costing me $200, and most importantly, nearly cost me my cat. I do not understand: A: Why this stuff is made when it is obviously very dangerous for any animal to be bathed with and B: Why stores continue to carry it. I would also like to be contacted if there is a lawsuit. My vet actually wrote on my receipt "Poisoning from Sergeant's Product!" PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!

Not the case, it is the same BAD STUFF!! This product almost killed my dog!! He is only 15 lbs and the medication was for dogs 10 - 20lbs. I had to rush him to the vet and spent over $200.00 to save his life, besides putting him through a horrible experience. I do not have kids so my dog is my baby, I would pay any amount of money to do what is best for him but believe me the money I saved by purchasing the Sargents "Gold" was the last thing I was thinking about when I was rushing him to the vet begging for his life!!!
