Our two cats had fleas so I bought Hartz Ultra Guard. That was the biggest mistake the next both of our healthycats were sick. First our cat started throwing up so I put him outside on the front porch to see what was going on. He got away from me and got under our wrap around porch. Normally after a few minutes I can bribe him to come out with something. This time was different so I got a flashlight and started looking. He was panting like a dog and foaming at the mouth. He was not able to walk to meormy kids which was unusual. My two kids and I tore part of our porch apart to drag him out. I rushed him to an emergency vet at midnight. $300dollars later we brought him home. The next morning when I found him he was hidingunder a bed I had to pull him out and he felt hot so I took him to another vet. He had a fever of 105 so they gave him sub Q fluids which he had also had the night before. This happened Friday and Saturday and here it is Monday and our poor Toby will not eat or drink I don’t know what to do I am going to call the vet as soon as they open but I cannot afford to keep taking him to a vet for something that should have made him feel better instead of so sick. If I had known I would have never used this product on my cats. Luckily the other did not get as sick as Toby…

Last night I gave my 11 year old cat a bath using Hartz Ultra Gaurd Flea & Tick shampoo. I then left to run some errands and came back a few hours later. When I got back I couldn’t find the cat anywhere. I looked everywhere, under beds, behind everything I could think of.
The next morning I finally found the little guy hiding. He seemed to be lethargic and wouldn’t eat any food. Worried, I called my vet and asked them if they heard of people having any problems with Hartz products. Sure enough, the lady said yes and wanted me to bring him down.
I have no car so she told me to give him another bath using Dawn dish soap and if there was still problems I would need to get him there. I gave my furry friend a bath with Dawn and dried him off good. Now, he is eating again and everything seems fine at the moment.
I will NEVER buy Hartz products again! Please, if you love your pets as much as I do, then spend the extra money on something that won’t harm your pet.
