Hartz product!!

Please do not use Hartz product. They are still on the shelves as it should be pulled off the shelf. The company dont care if your pet dies or suffer as mine did back in 2001.

Check out some of the horror stories about people and their pets after being given Hartz flea products. If you use these products, please carefully watch your pets! This is the first time I have heard this.

Yes. My childhood friend had advised me not to buy a Hartz products. Her Vet told her that Hart products are bad for cats and dogs. It can kill them or causes them sick badly. It happened to her few cats in the past. My mother's old cat had died due to flea treatment drops. Yes, indeed sad!

My childhood friend sent me a website on special kind of products are best from them, not from stores.

Best to buy a flea comb in the pet section is the safest one and very cheap cost. It works fine. I have one for my cat and it worked well.

Thanks for the information. I sent it to my family to let them know what is up with Hartz products. God Bless !!!!!

Hmm... this is unusual. I have friends who use Hartz flea collars and their cats don't have any problems.

Secondly, there are over 75,000,000 cats in the United States. 15% of all cats suffer from at least one kind of allergy. 15% of 75,000,000 is 11,250,000 cats. Hartz says that "thousands" of cats have had problems with those collars. That's less than .08% of those who are presumed to have at least one kind of allergy.

Therefore, we shouldn't assume that Hartz products are unsafe for all cats. For all we know, most of the cats that suffered from those collars probably had an allergic reaction to them.

If you were allergic to nuts and didn't know about it, you would get sick in some way from eating nuts or food products with nuts in them. Your doctor wouldn't be lying to you when he says that it came from the nuts you ate recently. Just from that doctor's comment, you shouldn't immediately assume that the company (that made the nuts you ate recently) is responsible. It could be your allergic reaction to nuts, not the nuts themselves.

If you read the article on that hartzvictims website...

The vet said that it was definately caused by the collar.

Did that vet specificially say whether it was an allergic reaction or not? If the cat was allergic to that particular collar, then the vet would still be telling the truth. That's why the vet could mean at least two different things.

Don't jump to conclusions, go running like beheaded chickens, and cry that Hartz is a horrible company. Maybe, they are... maybe, they aren't.

It has been going on since 2000 and they have not done anything about it. Not only the collar but other product that treat flea and tick. After what happened to my cat, I never went back to that product ever again. I have given my cat the drop and she got the reaction to it. My vet gave me the treatment of Advantage and that help alot. Sure my cat is afraid of that treatment. I dont blame her at all.


If that company knew there is a problem they should do something about it. There is lawsuit and I am not one of them cuz they pay for my vet.

I Don't Use Hartz Products And Toys Made By Them. Thank For The Information "pomeranian".

I have always been wary of Hartz...I prefer to stick to Advantage and Frontline which is recommended by vets.

I have used that brand long time ago with cats and dont have problems...

but my question.. that pictures of cat with wound around her neck.. looks like to me.. it was embedded collar.. (too tight)...

Oh my goodness poor cat ...Thanks for letting me know even though I haven't brought those from the store before since I get them at my vet when I had a dog once but for my cats, they're indoor pets...

It was not embedded but it was the reaction from the collar. Reaction from the chemical that was put on the collar. The chemical called pesticisics. *sp*. That chemical can be found in rats poison and some other products. I dont understand why would they want to put that chemcial in the products and sell it. Then have the pet suffer for what??

Not only that it cause some reaction in other part of the body too.

some people use flea stuff for dogs on cats thats what kills the cats as its not meant for cats perhaps that happened in some cases,


and for purchasing hartz products, I'm wary myself as I wouldn't use the products on my animals and I'm always turned off by the flea collars as they smell so bad (ugh) and the products are too cheap


I use frontline all the way

i didnt know hartz can hurt pets.. i have used them before on my dog and my cats.. had no plms with it.. but frontline is the best! they do indeed WORKS!!!

Interesting, I never heard about Hartz products... wow... The people from Health Department supposed to shut Hartz company down after see the proofs?

I'll need to check mine in the bathroom (I bath my dog in our bath tub and her shampoo is on the shelf.)

Can you tell me the name of oatmeal shampoo (you guys talked about it in another thread)? I would like to try that.

I used Advantage for fleas. I loved it! I need to get more soon though.

BTW, thanks for warn us!!! I think I may knew about it but I may forgot. But once again thanks to remind us.

Yea I know but they are planning to take off the shelf by next year. But it too late cuz more pets will be suffer for nothing. Duh Hartz!!

You're welcome LT.

I used Hartz flea poison on my cats in the past becuz I couldnt afford better flea poisons like Advantage at the time. My poor cats had a reaction--no energy and sleep alot. Later on, when I culd afford Avantage and tried it on them and they had no reaction--just pissed off at me,
