| Never use ANY Hartz flea, tick or heartworm medicine. Several have gotten sick and even died from using their products.

| My BIL is a vet and he said to never buy the retail preventions. He's treated several dogs who've gotten very sick and/or died. He and his partner even tried to get some products off the market because they had several animals come in very sick. He doesn't make a profit from us, so he's not just trying to push us into buying from him

| I would NEVER use a Hartz product on my dogs. Their products are not good, in my opinion.

| I didn't think Hartz makes heartworm medication.... Was he referring to their flea/tick products? |

| I used Hartz brand flea drops on my cat and he got sick and died overnight. My vet said she sees death and near death all the time from Hartz flea prevention.

| I met a woman at the park, and she said she was trying to save money and used Hartz flea and tick on her dog. Her dog ended up at the vet. They had to give the dog several baths and had him hooked up to IVs. She said in trying to save money, she spent over $1,000 in vet bills. She said she would never use Hartz again and was warning others about it. Conner is on Revolution, a heartworm and flea and tick all in one.
