Be careful of this PRODUCT…If you use it , use sparingly and not recommended duration. I think with more time and extra bathing. I think this product caused the DEATH of my BUDDY. A long hair tabby of 11 years old who was in GREAT HEALTH. (ELVIS)..In the last few weeks his normal activity changed. He went into some hiding and eating less…This yesterday morning , he walked in like he wanted to run somewhere. He turned and fell to the rug and seizured DEAD like with a heart attack and body shutdown.I was stunned ; I tried some mouth to mouth but total no movement. It was like instant DEATH ; but this was after a few weeks. A total healthy ADULT CAT ; in a few weeks; GONE !! This product may kill the bugs ; but it KILLED my loving cat !!!

Pesticides should never be used on cats. Pesticides KILL cats. Do not use it sparingly; Don’t use it at all. If your cat needs flea/tick control go to the veterinarean, or use Frontline. I am a veterinary student, so my information is fact.

@sysy92 – I highly doubt you’re a veterinary student, since you can’t spell “veterinarian” correctly. However, this product shouldn’t be used at all, not even sparingly, I agree.

i used exact same stuff on my 6mo old kitten, Pooh Bear. He began salivating excessively and running around crazy everywhere, and had a seizure. Called hartz and they told me i over dosed by spraying 3 sprays on him and they wont do anything about it!?

Angela ; You are correct , HARTZ will not do anything.They will say all is EPA tested and good…Well ; it is BS. Also , be plenty careful on a kitten. The kitten is not older and maybe could take only a small spray or two. If you do spray , please wash very shortly afterwards…And if bugs are there , use a bath…..Do not believe the instructions ; remember the label says PESTICIDE & POISON ….

I bought a bottle of Hartz Ultra Guard Plus spray at Target today. Something told me to research it before using it and I am so glad I did! No way am I using this on my cats now! My heart goes out to all whose pets suffered because of this product. I understand the guilt, but you were trying to do the right thing. Please know that sharing your experiences is sparing the suffering of innumerable pets. I realize that’s small consolation. Thank you for this web site!

I used this on my 5 year old cat today, after bathing her and noticed an immediate reaction. She began salivating excessively and even sprayed the wall. I called Poison Control and they told me not to mix flea products, nothing about how horrible and dangerous this product is. I only used a very small amount and didn’t directly spray my cat, instead I rubbed it in. After several hours of thinking maybe she would get used to it and not lick herself anymore (I know stupid me) I decided to give her a bath with just water again. I’m really hoping that she didn’t ingest too much of it. It would make me extremely sad if this product killed my cat. I will be returning the item tomorrow morning. I hate that there is no real warning about these things. My cat already suffered with the fleas, now with the medicine?

I’m not a shill, just a consumer. If we’re talking about the same product, it says directly on the packaging, in giant bold letters in at least 5 places “*DO NOT USE ON ANIMALS OR HUMANS*”. This product is designed for use on carpets and furniture.
