Hartz 3 in 1 Cat Spray  

We have indoor cats, but it was suggested to us to use a medicine like Advantage on the cats when we first got them to eliminate any fleas they could have picked up. They have OTC versions of the medicine that are much cheaper. I believe we found some at Petsmart that had 6 treatments for around $10.

The reasons those animals probably got sick was because you put the spray all over the animal and the animal probably ingested too much of the medicine. With cats, I wouldn't put any kind of spray of powered on them because you know they will lick it off.

I would never use anything made by Hartz. They have used nasty tactics to eliminate competion in the grocery stores. Notice that more times than not, Hartz is the only company displaying. There products are questionable. I use a product whereby one drop is placed on the back of the neck, where the animal can not lick it off. Also I used a product in the home that prevents the flea from metamorphisizing. It is not a poison. It is a growth inhibitor for insects. I sprayed the house once and havent had a flea problem in 13 years. I ghave 9 dogs and live in the country. It ius supposed to last 6 months. What can I say.

I think we use Frontline, it's a small thingy that you put in their fur and it prevents fleas. My veterinary highly reccommends and we never had any problem aside from the smell that cats seem to not tolerate that much when it's syill wet on their fur :\

Yes, it can kill your cat. Infact, don't use any Hartz products on your cats or dogs!! Get the flea drops from a good pet store or your vet, that'll stop the fleas and probably won't hurt them (very few have reactions.) Hartz should be put of of business for killing pets!!!

Years ago when I somehow mangaged to have an overabundance of fleas in my house, I bought and used Hartz products only to find they didn't work at all. I called the company and demanded my money back. Spent over $100 on hartz products to get rid of the fleas and it didn't faze them a bit. I ended up getting flea/tick drops from my vet and bombed using a different brand. Fleas were gone in under a month. No more hartz for me. They need to pull their products off the shelves cause they just don't work. Never heard of hartz products killing any animals thou so don't know about that. Just know the crap don't work.

We've used Hartz on our cat and dog before and they are still very healthy. I think that we use Frontline now, but we used Hartz on and off with them for nearly 2 years. I wasn't aware at the time what I now know to be the dangers of that product. But like I said, my animals are fine.

I have not used it and it might be true in this fact cause that is a poison any how and as per my knowledge the spray should not be frequently used in order to keep the flea out from dog so if it is done also it need to be washed within a hour after taking care that it doesnot put its mouth on their skin.

I've heard really bad reviews on Hartz products and never used it on my pet. For flea protection, use Frontline Plus. It's the best. It's expensive but worth every penny. I order mine online. It's cheaper than getting it from the vet.

No, don't use the hartz or any other flea product you can buy at your local store. They can poison and even kill your cat. The safest products to use on cats you can only get from your vet. I've read alot of horror stories about the Hartz, Sargents, bio-spot, etc on the internet too. I know it's more expensive to buy these things from the vet, but I'd be sick if I tried to save a couple bucks and killed my cat. Another idea may be to research the internet for natural flea alternatives? I don't know how well they work and how safe they are, but I do know alternatives are out there.

Hartz products contain small amounts of formaldehide (sp?). Long term, excessive use can cause problems in pets. I don't know why they contain it, but I've heard it from different reputable sources, and I don't use any products or treats made by Hartz.
