Shitty week for the cats... and therefore for me as well. I will never, ever, EVER use Hartz flea and tick medicine again. They have a serum that is supposed to work like Advantage in the respect that you just put it on the back of their necks and let it go. Well, they have both pretty much scratched at it nonstop and I fear they will continue

hartz screwed up my cats too. My cat Bubba, who has left this earth now, foamed at the mouth one time we gave it to him. I stick to advantage myself for our cats. Im sure they will be ok soon. I know how scary that can be!

Okay... do I know you? I feel bad if you have introduced yourself and I failed to recognize that... but I don't think I know you. Sorry about your cat... sucks.

No, I found your journal a few days ago and added you because youre a fellow cat lover. I thought it was cute how much you care for them and wanted to read about your babies. I'm Brian, 30, in Waco Texas, owner of two beautiful solid black panther like cat brothers, Diego (Diggy for short) and Jasper. (that's baby diggy about a year ago in the picture with me)

Okay then... long as we are not strangers! We are ridiculous how much we love them... I told my husband the other day I couldn't love them more if I had given birth to them myself! Ewww!

The poor little babies. They will feel better soon.

That is some shitty shit. Personally, I've never used it. I've never actually had to use any sort of flea medicine because the cats don't go outside, but in case I ever do...I will remember this post.

What is even worse is that Hartz probably knows about the problem and chooses to do nothing because they are still making money from the product. Such selfishness, greed, and injustice is why this world is so messed up.

So sorry for you, and thanks for the warning! H just put a flea collar on his beloved King and I will warn him against Hartz.

The vet says they will take it off the market if it gets too many complaints, but ultimately they will just come up with something else and then repackage it under a different name. Most likely because they are a multi-million dollar corporation and they have good lawyers.

Another case of Buyer Beware. We will never be able to truly relax our guard until our greedy world develops a conscience.
