Britterz says "This stuff doesn't work." about Hartz 3 & 1 Flea & Tick Repellent

This stuff is crap. It didn't even kill one flea. I thought I was doing it wrong because it's that bad. Nope, it just doesn't work. Do your animals a favor a pay a little more money for something that actually works.

jennytahoe says "Not what it is made out to be" about Hartz 3 & 1 Flea & Tick Repellent

I had seen this harts flee product onthe shelf of my local Wal-mart. Not needing any flee treatments for my dog at the time Imade a mental note to myself about it. Being a single mother of three,in this economy today it would save me some money on flee and tick drops, and the vet visit as well.

Not long after that day I had realized that my dog had flees. I went to Wal-mart and purchase the harts flee drops along with the harts flee collar and house spray.

Two days later, my dog still had flees and they had gotten to the point that the flees were jumping on my off of my floors. I realized that I was going to have to get the stuff I usualy get, this product was a wast of my money and did not work at all.

Lateflite says "Be wary of this product" about Hartz 3 & 1 Flea & Tick Repellent

Hartz 3 in 1 flea and tick repellant caused my cat to become ill.

My vet suggested a specific brand, but I did not see the harm in buying something that was on sale and several dollars cheaper that claimed to do the same job. Was I ever wrong!

Shortly after applying the drops according to the instructions, my cat began to act strangely. He was acting disoriented, his eyes looked odd and he was hiding which is not his usual self. When the symptoms were the same the next day, I took him to the vet who told me that Hartz flea and tick products sometimes cause this shock reaction in cats more than any other brand. She said, while the product is safe for most pets, it is not safe for all and there are other alternatives that have far superior safety records with cats.

I can accept the fact that any product might not be appropriate for all pets, afterall I was told to use something else. But there is no warning on the label, no suggestion of precautions. This is comepletely...

DVM says "Dangerous--thousands of pet injuries/deaths reported to the EPA" about Hartz 3 & 1 Flea & Tick Repellent

DVM — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 04:43:29 GMT

Hartz Mountain's flea and tick products have a deplorable safety record over the years. They use a 40 year old pesticide ingredient, phenothrin, in the volume of 85.7% which is a dangerous neurotoxin that has a documented history of injuring and killing thousands of dogs and cats. Hartz's cat and kitten products were terminated by the EPA in 2006 after the EPA issued a Cancellation Order in the summer of 2005. The EPA was overwhelmed with the number of adverse incidents reported by pet owners. Please check with your veterinarian before applying over the counter flea and tick products--you may save your own pet.

Hartz 3 in 1 flea and tick repellant is one of the best and most reasonably priced flea repellants on the market.I have used it on my dog,Gracie since she was 8 mos. old.I admit to using other products,but I came back to the HARTZ brand because of the ease of use,and the consistant lack of fleas or ticks on my dog.Hartz has been around since I was little,I trust the brand and the products sold by this company.

Yaweh says "Hartz Flea Medicine not very effective" about Hartz 3 & 1 Flea & Tick Repellent

Yaweh — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 01:05:59 GMT

This summer was a bad summer for fleas in our area and I tried Hartz and other flea medications and I agree that it was a waste of money. I have found that the vet recommended flea medicine was the most effective.

mindyvol says "The only thing this killed was my wallet" about Hartz 3 & 1 Flea & Tick Repellent

For the first time in her life, my dog had fleas. I found out on a Saturday evening when the local veterinarian offices were closed. I was desperate and hence my purchase of Hartz Ultra Guard Flea & Tick Drops.

I also purchased a flea shampoo that night and gave my beloved pooch a long and sudsy bath. I saw the dead fleas after I rinsed her and waited until she was completely dry before applying the Hartz drops. I was feeling pretty confident that we'd get the flea problem fixed in no time.

I couldn't have been more mistaken. After a few days with no signs of fleas, they suddenly returned in full force. The Hartz Ultra Guard Flea & Tick Drops packaging states to only use the product once per month so I didn't want to put it on my dog again. I gave her another flea bath to no avail.

Finally, I had enough and called my veterinarian. After telling him what I bought, he told me that I wasted my money and that I needed something more effective. So my precious dog is now...

bwestendorf says "Hartz Flea and tick drops don't work" about Hartz 3 & 1 Flea & Tick Repellent

bwestendorf — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:02:40 GMT

I also wanted to try Hartz because it said on the package that it would kill fleas and flea eggs, stopping the flea cycle, but it did the opposite. It was almost as if it attracted the fleas because this last summer, we had a horrible flea problem, so I would give our dog a bath with flea shampoo, let it sit for 5 minutes, watch the dead fleas go down the drain, dry him off, and check him thoroughly, then as soon as he would go outside to go potty, I could see the fleas jumping on him because he has white on his legs and it was so easily visible that it wasn't doing its job. Cheap product and cheap results....

lybbytx24 says "Worthless!" about Hartz 3 & 1 Flea & Tick Repellent

lybbytx24 — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:22:44 GMT

I just recently came into a slight flea problem and am trying to minimize it. I thought by going to buy this product, since it was right at the store, that it would be effective enough to treat a few fleas on my two dogs. Boy, was I wrong. I was even told by my groomer that the treatment only last two weeks if that....I don't even think it worked at all. I checked them again, and there were a couple of them on them that I had to personally go after with my nails! This product is worthless, in my opinion. I'm going to be purchasing some Frontline/Frontline Plus to fix the problem before it gets worse. Don't waste your money on this. I know that ones that you can only buy from the vet or online pet stores, but it's worth the money to buy others...with this one, you'll have to keep buying and buying and never get the problem solved....

chrisahx5 says "Should not even get ONE star, ITs that BAD" about Hartz 3 & 1 Flea & Tick Repellent

chrisahx5 — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:18:46 GMT

I would NEVER trust my dogs flea or tick problem with an over the counter cheap product like this. I guess these products are needed for people that can't afford the HIGH COST of such products like Frontline, K9 Advantix, Promeris, etc. There should be something out there affordable for the average, to low income pet owner, Adams would be the only one I could think of that would be of possibly an acceptable product that works, although I haven't tried it. I use K9 Advantix and am VERY PLEASED,

iamwhitney says "Hartz caused my senior Chihuahua to have a seizure" about Hartz 3 & 1 Flea & Tick Repellent

iamwhitney — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 16:03:34 GMT

I didn't have time recently to go by my vets office before they closed and pick up flea control for "my girls" (I have 5 dogs). So, while out and about on the weekend picked up Hartz flea control at Walmart and administered the appropirate dose/amount/size to each of my girls. The next day my 17 year old Chihuahua had a seizure. I found out that it was caused by the Hartz flea control. They had me take her home immediately and wash her with Dawn or Ivory liquid to get the topical sliminess off of her. I was on pins and needles all that evening and prepared to take her into the emergency vets if she had another seizure. Fortunately the washing seemed to do the trick and she didn't suffer any more. I will stock up on FrontLine or Advantage from now on and not buy the "over the counter" stuff ever again....
