My 1yr old cat became lethargic after few hours of putting hartz guard plus on her, my other cat was fine. By morning she was vomitting and by evening barely walking and wobbling. The next day she lost use of her front legs and walked on her knees, I thought she broke them in a panic I took her to the vet. Vet was suspicious about the product but said nothing to me about all the dealths and illness it casues, I took her home and bathed her with dawn, although she was drinking she was not eating or going to the bathroom. By day 3 she was barely hanging on would not stand, I brought her to the vet where she later died. The cause was acute kidney failure, which I read can be caused by so many things but the timing of me putting this product on her is just too coincidental, after reading all these stories I have to think it killed her. This is just so awful, why is this stuff still on the market, I wish I had googled it first.

When I was 13 years old I had a cat named Alley he was my pride and I loved him, he was 9 years old and had one kidney but was still very healthy. I used the hartz spot on on him and a few hours later he was lying on the floor breathing very heavily and I didn’t know what to do or what was causing this. I gave him water and he drank and drank and drank but was still lying on the floor breathing heavy. I called the vet right away and they said it sounded like he had been poisoned, but it seemed as though he wasn’t going to make it with his one kidney already gone. Alley made it outside and crawled into the street and seized and then stopped breathing, I cried for days. A few weeks later someone had told me it could be the hartz product. I am now 20 years old and I think its sad that hardly any progress has been made to bring down this company. Watching your pet, your best friend, die before your eyes is the last thing any person deserves. I have two cats now Peaches, 2 years old, and coconut, 3 years old. A year ago I bought them both flea colors from that company Sergeants and as soon as I put them on my cats they both started sneezing and throwing up, I immediately took the collars and bathed both of them. Something needs to be done before anyone else suffers. I feel for everyone on here and I know your pain.
