I am lucky to have found this website before even purchasing any Hartz or “OTC” Pet pesticide products.

To start, I looked on the box of Sentry Pro’s cheapest spot-on version and I can’t find anything that even says that you shouldn’t use it on a cat. Their extra strength version XFC says “Do Not Use on Cats,” but that is it. I put approximately 1/2 a squeeze tube of the cheap Sentry-Pro [...]

My experience with the Hartz product was with using the Flea & Tick Drip Sticks.  Why they’re not recalled is beyond me and I will never use anything but Frontline ever again.  Within minutes of applying this to the back of their necks, in between their shoulders, they began scratching and shaking.  The substance applied [...]
