 | |  | | I have passed this on to people I see in the stores looking at any of the Hartz products. I just tell them - don't use it if you love your cat or dog.
Years ago we had a huge flea infestation (weird since we lived in the city, the cats never went out) ... anyway, we bought Hartz flea shampoo and washed our kitties. All of them got sick, the worst was one of my poor boys. He was drooling, twitching, his second eyelid was half over his eyes. It was so horrible for him. We tried rinsing him repeatedly and ended up rushing him to the vet (actually took all the cats - he was just the sickest). Vet confirmed it was a severe reaction to the flea shampoo.
Since then, nothing Hartz do I want to touch. Even their cat toys are garbage. I once got a pack of their little fake fur mice, not thinking about how hard they are. My guy was playing with one, put it in his mouth and ended up with the darn thing stuck on a fang when he bit down on it.
They have this catnip mouse toy, the outside is a soft plush with a little velcro pocket to put the catnip in. Now all of us have seen our kids rip a cat toy apart, right? This hartz mouse is not filled with something soft, like fiberfill. It's filled with little beads - like a beanie baby. I look at that toy and just think of all the cats who'll end up in hospital from swallowing those beads.
Just say NO to Hartz! |  |  | |  |
