Are Hartz Flea Drops Anygood???
The warm weather will soon be coming and flea and tick season will be
upon us once again. I am the proud owner of 2 one year old cats ( 1 male, 1 female ). Last year, I adopted the 2 cats who are brother and sister and who were left as strays in a cardboard box on a boating dock. Anyway, even though they are both fixed, the male goes outside now because he is the bigger of the two, and he is a GREAT hunter because he catches mice for us that wander near the house and/or garage. But the thing that worries me is that the people who live next door to us ( about 10 feet separates our houses ), have about 20 **** Zu dogs running around in their yard ( chain fenced ). They also run a dog breeding and dog grooming service, so there are dogs constantly coming and going. I have seen both my cats starting to scatch themselves all over the past few days, and now I am worried. Hopefully its just dry skin, and not dredded fleas!!!!! But to be on the safe side, I still want to protect them with fleadops. I have read that "Advantage" is the best, but its also expensive, like $45 dollars I think. I have seen cheaper ones in the store such as "Zodiac" flea drops for as little as $7.99 which says 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back, as well as "Hartz Advanced Care" flea drops for $12.99 which claims to kill both fleas and flea eggs. But are these ones any good??? Do they work or are they a waste of money??? Are they safe??? I would like to get "Advantage" but I am currently only working part-time, and can't really afford it, but I don't want fleas in my home, but from the cats scatching up a storm, it may be to late??? Do the "Hartz Advanced Care" flea drops work, or do I need to buy the "Advantage"??? Any info. will greatly be appreciated!!! Thanks!!! |

They will give you your money back BUT will they replace your cat?
Don't use any product other than Advantage, Frontline, or Revolution. The price you mentioned ($45) would be for a package of three. These can also be purchased on line. Try http:www/noahspets.com -MIKE |

"Ted Davis" wrote in message ... I haven't looked at the current products, but a couple of years ago I used the Hartz drops with only one death and one illness, both due to losing control of the cat and the drops going down the side. With 12 cats, Frontline and Advantage were entirely too expensive: my vet sells them for about $10 US per cat dose. T.E.D. ) SPAM filter: Messages to this address *must* contain "T.E.D." somewhere in the body or they will be automatically rejected. You've *got* to be kidding!!! "Only" one death and one illness?! With 12 cats, that means almost 10 percent died and 10 percent became ill, and you refer to it as "only." Michelle, people have been working for a number of years in an attempt to have Hartz withdrawn from the market because of numerous reports of reactions, including death. You would be much better off to get the larger quantities of Advantage and dispense it for individual cats. Use google to search for correct dosage. MaryL |

Go to your vet and get something that'll actually work without sickening your animal. |
