i like the product Hartz (u can get it at walmart, and i'm sure you can get it at a pet store) when i first got my puppy, she was covered in fleas. just one good scrubbing did the trick (but i have a much smaller dog). i used Hartz 3 in 1 Foaming Shampoo to be exact. it kills fleas and ticks, flea eggs and larvae, and it prevents flea eggs from hatching for over 1 month. Now, thats just for the dog. For my carpet, just to be on the safe side, i used Hartz 2 in 1 carpet powder, i think they also had a spray for the furniture. i thought this stuff worked great. now my puppy (and home) are flea free

Hartz is being removed from the shelves because it was too toxic. Please don't use hartz.

I wasn't aware that there were so many problems with Hartz! Interesting...

wow, i didn't realize that. i looked at the site. it was referring to the Hartz products containing Phenothrin (thats in the topical flea and tick drops). i personally have never used those, and after what i read i probably never will. but the shampoos and carpet powder do not contain any Phenothrin. and i used the shampoo on a very small dog and it didnt bother her. infact when i took her to the vet for the 1st time i told him what i bathed her with and he didnt say anything

I just wouldn't trust anything from Hartz for now...
Here's another site: http://www.cathelp-online.com/health/justsayno.php If you scroll down to the "Hartz Mountain Corp Products - At A Glance Recommendations to Avoid:" section, the shampoo is there and is described as: Quote:

When I was a kid I used to pick fleas out of my cat with my fingers and pop them dead with my fingernail. It's really gross because they explode and you get blood all over your hands.Love that crunching sound though when kitty gets to a crane fly. I can't even kill a mosquito these days.

ok, i am very interested in learning more about how this product may affect dogs. but all the site talks about is cats (i don't own a cat). please give me a site that says how it is hazardous to dogs. don't take this the wrong way, i'm just not personally interested in reading how a product affects a cat when i own a dog. but i do find this serious since i use this product.

Maybe you'd want to read some horror stories? Horror stories IMO, that should be enough to not support this company financially, but I'll go search for studies on dogs for you. I'm sure there are PLENTY as the pesticide that caused the massive chemical burns, seizures, and deaths in dogs AND cats from the flea drops is in the same family of pesticides as in the shampoo.
Sorry, I forgot to post it while I searched. |

Surprised they didn't try to sell you one from the clinic. You could probably find more horror stories. Always a good idea to research any ingredients/products before using. It's possible your vet just assumes products on the market are safe, they should be or at least "safer".
Well there you go Prin gave you some horror stories before I could submit this.

lol It's ok. They're "good" horror stories. I just wish they had a search engine on their site.

I have used Advantage on my 3 cats(in summer)for as long as I can remember,yes,it's expensive,but it WORKS!
Add up all the other stuff mentioned here and it probably costs as much. My son,totally oblivious to my advice,bought some look-alike tubes at Pet-Smart for Kita,his JRT,resulting in a rash all over her body,which will cost much more than Advantage would have cost.
